Is it spring down there already  :-D

I was kind of expecting to see a huge feeding frenzy when I saw the title.  Your bees look happy.

What the heck is a RamMount X grip though?

Haha I just downloaded the video editing app and thought that little snippet turned out decent. I have another video from a further distance with more bees. I only have 1hive and this was the first day warm enough to feed. Probably late Feb. or early March this year.

You must watched my other video. Here's a link:

A pretty slick way to hold a gps or other device for ease of use while riding. I like it. Pretty stable and so far secure.

hjon, you need to expand a little so we don't risk losing u to a harsh winter.  Personally I make sure I've got PLENTY of extra bees so the conservative beeks never have to worry about me going away. :laugh:

What is your RAM mount connected to?  They show a bicycle on Amazon but it looks like you're going a little fast for bicycle.

I hear that a lot, and I am interested in having maybe 3 but I'm cheap. So unless I catch a swarm, find a cut-out/trap-out or I try to split again :-( 1 will have to do.

A Vespa GT200. That's a 200cc scooter made in Italy. Not as fast as my old GSXR750:shock: but way more practical.  I bought 2 and am teaching my wife and older son to ride. My younger son has a ZX6R. Pretty fun.
