BEES AT SAN JAVIER MISSON
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?

Try pulling one of their little wings off. See what happens.
Alternate between left and right just to keep it interesting.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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?

Lassie? 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.

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.................
