BEES AT SAN JAVIER MISSON

Oh! so many years ago there was only one road into San Javier,
It was Tough, rough, and had some hairy Dropoffs.

My first visit to the Mission was real close to 1970 and I noticed a very large dripping Beehive/Honeycomb up at the top of the Bell Tower, It was loaded with Honey dripping all the way to the Ground. Later I got permission to go into the Bell Tower where I could reach around and get some Honey. It was the sweetest most different Honey I had every tasted!!

Digress to Sweetwater Texas when I was a young boy on the Farm.on occasion we would have the Bees build a Honeycomb in one of the trees next to our Hosue. Dad woul rob the Hive and we would have the best Honey.

Back to San Javier
I thought that it would be great to cross the Javier Bees with the Texas Bees , I tried and finally was successful in getting about 20 bees in a small cage which I put in the back of my Trusty Cessna 170b and flew them to Sweetater where I turned them loose. I feel sure they intergrated as on several occasions since I have visited my old Farm Home and observed larger Beehives on the Old Barn{which is still standing},

I often wonder if those are some of my 'Crossed Bees}??

skeet,
is this what your 4H club does? transplants agricultural pests to "see what happens?"
doesn't your local health dept have an ag pest program? will they give me a finders fee for turning you in?

Somewhere a village is missing their idiot.

kaybaj - 5-5-2011 at 12:42 PM

themair bees rattless? :lol:

Skeet

Dave - 5-5-2011 at 12:45 PM

Try pulling one of their little wings off. See what happens.

Alternate between left and right just to keep it interesting.

Skeet/Loreto - 5-5-2011 at 12:46 PM

Goat: Please pay closer attention!

These thing happened many years before the "Endangered Species Lunatics" and "Sierra Club idiots" went to college and started all of their False Info to make Money Deal.

Goat, that is another Great thing About Texas, we have lots of Wide open Spaces that gives you the FREEDOM to do some things without having some Govt Orintated Dope Head watching and telling you "You can't do That!!"

Hey did you see where the Obama Admin. lifted the Ban on Grey Wolves.

I bet you look forward to killing one, eh?

Just like hunting Lassie!

I will send you a bucket of Zebra mussles -- please add a few to every lake in your County! Texas will soon be the Zebra Mussel capital of the World! Yee haw!!!!!!!!!

Skeet/Loreto - 5-5-2011 at 01:04 PM

No Goat The only thing I will kill is a Coytoe>

Many years ago, 1947. I was hunting at a place Called Crocker Ridge off of Hwy 120 on the Border with Yosemite where I observed a Slaughter of Deer coming out o Yosemite due to an early storm. Last time for me.

Some times at my place here I will have 30 to 40 Deer in my front yard. Now they are doing good as I and a few other people convinced the rest of our residents not to feed the Deer Corn. The Deer are recovering very good, but they are doing this all over Texas and we are getting swamped with Deer. Some Counties do allow a

eer Kill" at times as long as the Meat is given to Charity.

Goat: What would be your answer to this "Deer Problem" ??

And matic if you don't believe me send me your email and I will froward some recent Photos.

Skeet

toneart - 5-5-2011 at 01:20 PM

Something is weird here:
In this string (aside from the theme of Frankenspecie crimes), Skeet's writing is suddenly lucid. He can spell, he can use punctuation correctly and he can string a sentence together. He has said he has a college degree.

So...which is the real Skeet? Is it the educated one who can write (or is he dictating to one who is more literate)? OR...are all the other dumbsh*t posts just a smart man dumbing down?

About a year ago, I proposed the theory that Skeet is not real...that he is caricature of an ignorant, Texas, redneck, radical, fundamentalist Christian WingNut.

It is still my contention the "Skeet" character is a put on. :smug:

DanO - 5-5-2011 at 01:23 PM

Skeeter, were those San Javier bees larger and more aggressive than your Texas bees? If so, I bet the folks in Texas who were trying to prevent the spread of Africanized bees from Mexico into Texas in the mid-80s would've been a tad suprised to find out that you were actively importing them.

While we're on the subject, have you tried cross breeding anything other than insects and reptiles? Primates, perhaps? Dinousaurs hatched from fossilized eggs? Armadillos?

By the way, the jig is up. Your original post is so outlandish that it proves what I (and Toneart) have long suspected: You do not actually exist and are really just the hilarious musings in a Texas panhandle dialect of a very creative anonymous poster with way too much time on his/her hands. Keep it up.

Bajamatic - 5-5-2011 at 01:24 PM

Oh I believe you. I believe there's a deer population problem, and a feral pig problem. And to control the bursting populations, you gotta shoot em.

Probably a rattless snake problem in the works too. Now bees? Mater, I think you got a loose lug or somethin.

motoged - 5-5-2011 at 01:27 PM

Skeet,
Would it be possible to cross-breed the rattlers without rattles with the San Javier bees so you could milk the honey from the snake's fangs???

As a left-leaning humanist, I have not been able to get away from my desk and follow up with this level of practical experiment.

And would it have to be done at your place in Taxes, or could a republican get away from their throne and follow up ?

Just curious.... :?:

Nah...There's pictures

And I've actually met the fellow.

Ask DK for the photos...If you dare. :rolleyes:

Just send GPS co-ordinates....I will find the pictures on my own... :biggrin:

Skeet/Loreto - 5-5-2011 at 01:37 PM

Hey Dano" Just for kicks since you have been around for sometime and have observed "My Character"

Its pretty easy to look up my "Golden Gloves Days at Amarillo Hi School. I even Googled up my name the other day and came up with an article of 1947 when I fought and defeated a Hardin-Simmons Universtity Fighter..It was in the Abilene News Paper Archrives and on Google.

Next thing would be my 3 years 9 months and 28 days in the u. s. Navy a Korean War Vet.

Next my 4 years at Fresno State University is fairly well Known and
recorded.

Would it help if I sent you some Photos?? I will have to send them via email as this little mind of mind can't figure iut how to post them.

But finally the easy way is to ask David K, Capt. Mike, Pam Bowles,

Let me know if you can use any more reliable info to prove me non-existance

Hey Dave! How do you explain the dichotomy? Is he sometimes smoking loco weed? Which Skeet did you meet? :spingrin:

Cypress - 5-5-2011 at 01:41 PM

Lassie? :lol:

You obviously don't live in wolf country. Wolves reproduce at an alarming rate. Wolves can and will decimate the wildlife population, they also take a toll on domestic animals. They've been hunted and trapped in Canada for generations and Canada still has no shortage of wolves. Under controlled hunting conditions the wolf numbers can be kept within reasonable limits.

The What???

Dave - 5-5-2011 at 01:45 PM

We're both Okies. We don't know nuthin about no dickotomies.

motoged - 5-5-2011 at 01:46 PM

My. my, my.....from bees to wolves in just a few leaps of attention...
Aren't we a funny group sometimes :biggrin:

Bugman - 5-5-2011 at 01:52 PM

No way those bees would have crossed unless Skeet brought down a queen and that is not what it sounds like from his message. Besides, at the time he moved them we only had European strain honeybees in TX and Mex so no big genetic differences to worry about even had they been able to cross. Can't rule out movement of parasites but I will leave that for another day.................

He must be fictitious. There was no google back in 47.

Skeet/Loreto - 5-5-2011 at 02:33 PM

Wow!!!

Look at the interest a few Beautiful Bees bring out amongest the People!!

Great! But the bees are doing well and my old Home place has larger Bees than they did 60 years ago. I am begining to think that my experiment Worked!!

Skeet/Loreto - 5-5-2011 at 02:41 PM

Hey: Just found out that I am a Choctow Indian and that I can join the Tribe in Durant and get some Money from the Guvmet.

My Grandmother Sallie p Sanders was on the Indian rolls of 1890's.
Can't wait to get my first Check. I will be able to go back to the Island and San Javier and transport some more Bees and Snakes.

Oh! so many years ago there was a Lady called Sandy harrison who built and lived in the House across from the entrance to the marino in Loreto.
Sandy was a great Gal. Tall , Blond and full of Love.
Anyway Sady set up a Salt Water Aquariam in her Home and I helped her with the different small Fish.
I would snorkel off of Del Efonso and bring her differnt kins of fish{I had a Fresh Bait Tank } on my Panga.

Later I brought a small Water tank and a tank of air and Transported some of the Beautifull Fish to a friend in San diego.

He still has descendants of those fish, especially the little Purple ones.

You people should go down to the isla Del Fonso or Isla Catalana and do some snorkling and see all the Great Fish.

Bajamatic - 5-5-2011 at 02:57 PM

Wait - WHAT? Amarillo High? Not Possible. My grandfather graduated from there. 1949. Clearly you'd know him, right? I bet you don't

Skeet/Loreto - 5-5-2011 at 03:49 PM

Comone matic. What was your Grandpas name?
Is he a member of the 50thAHS..com Association??

It would be great if we actually knew each other.

Full name please/
Ask him if he remembers the "Dipsey Doodlers from Dumas :"

Bajamatic - 5-5-2011 at 04:14 PM

He asked me if you are Jack

Jack Swords - 5-5-2011 at 04:35 PM

Bugman is right in that simple worker bees being brought into Texas would not change the genetic make-up of the European honeybee population. A fertilized queen or a bunch of drones from San Javier could possibly introduce a new gene. However, both would have to be accepted by the local bees and I hear that Texas might have problems with immigrants from south of the border. Must be another explanation for the increase in the size of the Texas bees today.

Uh oh! It's a conspiracy.

(See the new Skeet/Loreto for Real ???string). There are a bunch of them. Gnu....Help!

I wonder which one of the declared Skeet supporters is the real Skeet :?:

Bajatripper - 5-5-2011 at 09:46 PM

I met the real Skeet at a party hosted by Bajalera, must of been around five-six years ago. No way is the person now posting under his name the same person.

krafty - 5-5-2011 at 10:01 PM

oh crap- was going to offer him a book deal-have not read all his 3600 posts, but there must be a story there somewhere :light:

Skeet/Loreto - 5-6-2011 at 06:56 AM

Yeah Tripper it was me! and it still is!

Bajaleara was a real fine lady. We enjoyed an afternoon of good times. And she is just a little bit older than I am.

wilderone - 5-6-2011 at 07:30 AM

Crossing Javier Bees with the Texas Bees?
Crossing rattleless snakes with rattlesnakes?
Skeet, I think you have some repressions you should explore, and some voyeuristic tendencies that might have global consequences.

Skeet/Loreto - 5-6-2011 at 07:49 AM

Wildone:

Wait unti I post about BLUE PALMS FROM STA CATAVINA

TEXAS INCEST-

The higher literacy quotient may point to that. :biggrin:

Thanks ! Sorry to Skeet.
One of my senior moments. :biggrin:

Was in Tripui when Skeet and Virginia had Rancho Sonrisa, many moons ago.

Skeet/Loreto - 5-6-2011 at 03:35 PM

No Van. I kept a Trailer at Tio Dosz's near the Oasis for a couple of years then I bought Joanne Fontain place next to the Ice House and across from the Gay Bar.
Moved out to Rancho Sonrisa and lived in a Trailer a couple of years and started building. It is still there surrounded by the bery Wealthy T. Ketterger, Charlie Leach/ Sure do miss it.

slimshady - 5-6-2011 at 10:22 PM

Per billy goat keep illegal Mexican bees out of Texas or he will turn you in. It's not like they can fly over the border fence anyway.

A picture is worth a thousand words.....

mcfez - 5-7-2011 at 01:18 PM

Dont bother.....you are wasting space here at BN with your off the wall bullchit.

And I thought you were real cool in prior postings........in fact........ a real contributory here.

What a freakin waste of reputation.

Skeet/Loreto - 5-7-2011 at 01:42 PM

Jeeeeezo, Skeet...you get yourself in more hot water here than even "the other DENNIS" used to. I didn't think it possible.
Oh well....carry on. :lol:

Well, that clears everything up, I'm convinced. NOT!

It will take much more than a bit of biographical info or a picture or your word to convince those of us with a bit of history with the Real McCoy. Like, for starters, could you please explain how it is that the style/language of your postings have nothing to do with the old ones Skeet use to write? How is it that your command of English has so remarkably improved suddenly? Did a light go on? Did you bump your head hard? What?

What is obviously going on here is that someone--most likely a family member--is trying desperately to rehabilitate Skeet's reputation, an endeavor I doubt that the old man would approve of.

Oh no!! Not YOU too! Is there something out there--perhaps an extraterrestrial force--taking over control of our fellow Nomads? Give me back my Dennis and Skeet!

DENNIS - 5-8-2011 at 08:38 AM

I don't believe Skeet is strapped in his chair, drooling in his Pablum. His writing style [ ? ] is as eratic as it always has been. Early in the day, we see lucidity and as the session continues, lucidity gives way to a chaos of malapropisms and dropped punctuation.
The heat of the thread affects his excitement level and his fingers are outracing his thoughts. I think we all do that from time to time.

"Two-Eyed Tequila" comes into play later in the day. We all do that from time to time as well.

I don't see anything to support a conspiracy theory here. It's just Skeet being Skeet.

backninedan - 5-8-2011 at 09:05 AM

You are correct Dennis, his typing speed outraces his thoughts......and he only uses one finger!!!!!
