Three and a Half Pounds of Bees

JP the Beeman handles swarms, educates about bees, and films the removal of hives form unexpected places.

Some of my favorites:

Huge Bee Hive under Duck Camp!

1. We've had Jerry the Bee Guy at our house a few times. (We live in neighborhood of goddamn hippies with chickens and goats and beehives and shit and every summer they swarm -- the bees not the the hippies -- looking for a new home in our duct work) Bee guys are awesome. I admire and envy people who have this much daily enthusiasm for what they do.

2. I could listen to over-excited people with thick backwoods Louisiana accents all day.

3. The neighbor guy in the Bees in the Hood video who is totally fascinated and engaged and says "Man I love nature!" then starts talking about his childhood and alligators in the yard and offers JP a beer and gets one for himself is awesome. He exactly reflects the effect that Bee Guys' enthusiasm has on the rest of us.
