Also bees really are fascinating. The whole "Let me wiggle my bum around at you and you'll know exactly where I'm talking about" bit of communication still blows my mind.

I live in Nor Cal and a friend of mine has close to 50 supers - I think a super is just a white bee box(hive) stacked two or more high - beekeepers just call them supers and triples blah blah.
A super is the box which contains the frames. In summer months a hive will typically have from 4-6 supers, with an excluder (wire mesh with divisions small enough to allow workers through but not the queen) on the second or third box. Then the top supers will only have honey and no brood and vegetarians don't need to worry about eating hundreds of little baby bees with their toast.
'Fascinating' bee story: when I moved up to Auckland I left one of my dad's empty hives sitting on the lawn. Wild bees moved in before I had a chance to move it so for six weeks until the bee gear arrived there was an active beehive within 5m of the front door.
Fascinating addendum: don't ever wear blue when dealing with bees. Drives them mad.

I had a conversation with John Hollis (Lobot) once. Therefore I am infinitely cool.
Also, I bought a new laptop today. Dell insisted I put the business name in the mailing address, so I had them ship it to Zombees Incorporated.

You are finitely cool. And I welcome you to page two. Where GBM the infinitely cool presides over 24 posts made by desperate virgins.

Shouldn't we prep ourselves for Soylent Green?

It's an AGWPT sort of place, really.
