[leominsterbeeman]

I always thought Jay was always joking about how his bees were tagged.  Well,  I found them when I was in Concord the other day....


Little Bar codes on bees to track their movements for research....

I thought you had a branding iron for yours Michael...

[Michael Bush]

Yes, but it's hard to keep the iron hot and you can't tell each individual bee apart. :)

But scanning them is time consmming as well and confuses the checkout high school kids also
:lol:

[Michael Bush]

Yes, I can see the high school kids trying to make the bees go back through the scanner because it didn't read.  :)

I know I love to go to stores on bad weather days and watch them get confused when the lights go out cause all the registers stop working and the concept of actually doing math is a concept LOL
