That's two packages = two queen bees & approximately 20,000 workers (one queen & 10,000 workers per)

The queen is separated & marked with a year dot. Much like decoding our tang stamps

Labs really are some of the best dogs around. Mine have been the most faithful companions and protectors.Thank you very much. Jack turned 7 around Christmas. He gets out a lot but it's never enough!![]()
If you haven't looked into it, making mead is actually pretty simple. If you like the taste, it is a good way to use up excess honey.Thanks Grant!
I totally understand & appreciate the dad joke, I enjoy a good pun
You can thank my grandfather for the patina on the Barlow btw. He's the one who put it there. All I did was scrub it with hot soapy water to take the decades of grease & dirt off, then brush down the blade with oil & fine steel wool to preserve that patina. I did take some old hotrod chrome/metal polish to shine up the bolsters. I thought it turned out well![]()
I think it just hit me. Maybe why I like the Primble Patinization Processis because it takes on the look of old silver coins and old guns.
Ruggedly handsome knives!
Nice to-mater!The #48 this morning at preaching; added the Frontier Stockman this afternoon.

I do quite like this 48 so far. I really like that the typical trapper spey blade has been replaced with a pen blade. Handles are a nice color too.
