....8-foot-tall bear with a friendly-enough expression and a belly full of bees - 30,000 or so honeybees who live in a hive in the bear's back and go in and out through his mouth - ended up in the Hemkens' driveway, just past the big yellow sign that says "Slow: Bee Crossing.


That's a good way to deter solicitors.

/Cute bear

Or are you gonna release the bears with the bees in their mouths so when they roar they shoot bees at you?

That's a crappy looking bear. Hardly life like. If a child did that I'd be patronisingly nice, but this is a grown man. He can do better than that.

And everyone thought that dogs that shoot bees from their mouths were bad enough.

I like my bear statues like I like my women:

COVERED IN BEES!

Bastard.

In Foxfire 7, i think it is, there's a chapter on bee keeping the old school way. It's really interesting how you keep bees in logs versus the modern hive method.

On making a log truly resemble a bear, he writes, "I started with the ears and snout, as these are the most notable. Get these right, and anything will look like a bear."

Except that abomination in your yard.

I've seen ravens going in and coming back out of a dead bears asshole but never bees thru the mouth of a woody. Interesting.....

That is so stingin' stripey.

Now, if he can make the honey come out of his johnson or his ass the win would be complete.

What the heck is a "putzer" ???

Has no one else noticed his GIGANTIC RIGHT HAND????

it's a grandpa phrase. It means doing odd jobs, projects or hobbies around the house.

In a sentence:

Q: " Dad, what are you doing today? "

A: " Nothing much, just going to putz around the house. "

I may have gotten drunk and stolen some of your work in my younger days. Can you make the replacements lighter? I'm getting old here.

Also how much for a bronze wolverine?

Safety consultant?

ha-ha-guy: how much for a bronze wolverine?

Here's one for free

Skail: No gloves??

The way I heard it, some sissy beekeepers wear gloves, but Real Beekeepers (TM) like the manual dexterity of gloveless, less mistakes, which is less likely to get yourself stung.

The bees know their handlers scent, these are a domesticated species -- humans handle cats, dogs, etc without heavy body covering same deal.

Note: The almost always wear a face veil. Except once on PBS. I saw a guy pick up a swarm from a tree, brae handed, no face covering, and drop the swarm in the beebox. No hive to defend, no young to defend, the honey is all in their bellies, why would they sting.

Note2: I would never do this. I've never been stung, 'cause I'm such a pussy I run from every buzzing insect I hear. If I kept bees, I'd be in total body suit whenever I went near. And probably trip, and farm me and my hives up.

Well I can't steal one from the Big House. That's like stealing from a Church, only worse, because Bo > God.

I want one for my yard. Ideally with Buckeye seeking missiles in the base.

I have a giant Bee statue with bears living inside, so I'm really getting a kick out of this...

Did someone say beehive?

Drove past that yesterday. It's out in front of the Dallas Zoo and right by the highway.

Interesting fact: If you look closely, you can see that there's a small extension to the tongue. It was added after the fact in order to claim the title of the world's tallest bronze sculpture.

Bear seems a' bee haven.
Shoot the bastard if he aint.


Sorry all, it over, just had to be Dunn.
....That's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn (wow that sounds bad).

That bear sucked compared to how awesome I thought it was going to bee.

For some reason, this article made me think of the Wicker Man Remake. Too bad there wasn't a scene of the bees attacking Nicolas Cage while he was dressed in a bear suit punching a woman in the face.

Fark you for that pic...I had a nightmare once involving something like that, and I could actually see the bees living in the kid's stomach and buzzing happily around in the acid before they left out his mouth. It's not one I'll ever forget, but I prefer to not be reminded or it either.

And yes, I'm horribly phobic of wasps/hornets/yellow jackets. I'm generally fine around the honeybees and fuzzy bumblebees, but you still won't find me around a hive on my own free will.

You played Bioshock, didn't you?

The seriously cool stuff is on the german site mentioned in TFA.
