Title: The Wicker Man
Post by: ctsoth on September 04, 2006, 04:04:42 PM
This movie was an unspired pile of crap, about CULTIST BEEKEEPERS on some island in washington....  In one scene of the movie the beekeepers just wonder around smoking hives for some odd reason, and they have skeps with little hinged doors on them...  In one scene for whatever strange reason it shows them pull some honeycomb out of a hive....  As a beekeeper I couldn't help but laugh thru the movie, it was redicurous.

>smoking hives

Isn't it hard to keep the hive lit?  Maybe they have a bit of a habit.  Smoking bees and smoking hives.  Bees, of course are hard to keep on the paper while you roll it...

The original was a black evil movie set in Britain. Didn't like it back then and see no reason to see the new one.

Since I live on an Island in Washington I wonder....  :)

Not only that but the smoke has a real sting to it when inhaled.  It's best to opt for a brier pipe when smoking bees.  :)

I haven’t seen the movie. I’m not sure what would be the most enjoyable. Youse guys can be pretty entertaining sometimes.

I smoked a bee once.
Well, um, I think I did.
Yeah.... I'm sure I hit her with that 357 mag.
