Way back in the good old days, S.F.F.B. would go camping on the weekends. This particular
weekend we were camping at Sunsport Gardens. We were just sitting around when Tom came
over and began telling us about his beekeeping activities. Tom told us he has gotten so
comfortable working with bees he can do it nude. Apparently there were those who did not
believe. Tom then said “Wait, I have something to show you.”
He then went over to his big, white step van. He came back with a white 5 gal. pail. He held it
so that we could all see inside the pail, which contained honeycomb and dozens and dozens of
bees flying around. He then put the pail on the ground and sat, naked, on the open pail.
He sat on that pail talking with us about possible future club activities. After a while he got up,
turned around and showed us the only marks on his butt were pink horizontal lines from the
pail.
