pondering serious thoughts this
pondering serious thoughts this afternoon
because as you know I always love a good
because as you know I always love a good discussion
Catherine you’re saying you agree and
Catherine you’re saying you agree and say yes poor bees I also say that I’m
say yes poor bees I also say that I’m
say yes poor bees I also say that I’m also just amazed it with something like
also just amazed it with something like
also just amazed it with something like bees being so integral to our food
bees being so integral to our food
bees being so integral to our food resources and as you know we as humans
resources and as you know we as humans

that there hasn’t been more study on the
that there hasn’t been more study on the bee issue and what’s been happening with
bee issue and what’s been happening with
bee issue and what’s been happening with the bees sorry guys I just want to
the bees sorry guys I just want to
the bees sorry guys I just want to triple check my map very very quickly
triple check my map very very quickly
triple check my map very very quickly and just make sure that I am going where
and just make sure that I am going where
and just make sure that I am going where I need to go for her bee
I’m wondering if he needs me to go
I’m wondering if he needs me to go farther north on dog let’s do this
farther north on dog let’s do this
farther north on dog let’s do this portion of drakensberg and and see what
portion of drakensberg and and see what
portion of drakensberg and and see what happens so I’ve got most of the roads
happens so I’ve got most of the roads
happens so I’ve got most of the roads and juma down by now but every now and
and juma down by now but every now and
and juma down by now but every now and then it’s nice to take a look at the map
then it’s nice to take a look at the map
then it’s nice to take a look at the map for me and just sort of gauge distances
for me and just sort of gauge distances
for me and just sort of gauge distances for for me I’m very used to quite large
for for me I’m very used to quite large
for for me I’m very used to quite large areas and so the spaces between roads is
areas and so the spaces between roads is
areas and so the spaces between roads is very large and big and wide and here
very large and big and wide and here
very large and big and wide and here it’s a little bit smaller so it’s taking
it’s a little bit smaller so it’s taking
it’s a little bit smaller so it’s taking me a little time to adjust
shirring you’re curious if I’ve ever
shirring you’re curious if I’ve ever followed a honey guide Sharon I haven’t
followed a honey guide Sharon I haven’t
followed a honey guide Sharon I haven’t but I would be fascinated to do that I
but I would be fascinated to do that I
but I would be fascinated to do that I have friends who have tried it and ended
have friends who have tried it and ended
have friends who have tried it and ended up nowhere and also ended up with with

I curse you’re saying someone did it live on the show and it worked
Steph to the Beehive oh that’s fantastic
Steph to the Beehive oh that’s fantastic very very very cool I know and for
very very very cool I know and for
very very very cool I know and for anyone that’s wondering what we’re
anyone that’s wondering what we’re
anyone that’s wondering what we’re discussing honey guides and following
discussing honey guides and following
discussing honey guides and following and beehives there’s a story about
and beehives there’s a story about
and beehives there’s a story about Greater honey guides in particular which
Greater honey guides in particular which
Greater honey guides in particular which is a type of bird who makes a very
is a type of bird who makes a very
is a type of bird who makes a very specific call when it either finds a
specific call when it either finds a

human or finds a honey badger and if you
human or finds a honey badger and if you follow if it makes this call and you
follow if it makes this call and you
follow if it makes this call and you follow it it will lead you to honey but
follow it it will lead you to honey but
follow it it will lead you to honey but then they say that you must make sure to
then they say that you must make sure to
then they say that you must make sure to give it some of the honeycomb
give it some of the honeycomb
give it some of the honeycomb because if you don’t the next time it’s
because if you don’t the next time it’s
because if you don’t the next time it’s call will lead you to a black mamba so

favor Devin you’re curious if in the
favor Devin you’re curious if in the same clutch of eggs the Wahlberg’s will
same clutch of eggs the Wahlberg’s will
same clutch of eggs the Wahlberg’s will have pale and dark morph there’s also a

so as far as I can think off the top of
so as far as I can think off the top of my head they have one to two eggs but
my head they have one to two eggs but
my head they have one to two eggs but they only raise the one chick so I to me
they only raise the one chick so I to me
they only raise the one chick so I to me the answer would be yes and then it’s
the answer would be yes and then it’s
the answer would be yes and then it’s just whichever chick they decide to
just whichever chick they decide to
just whichever chick they decide to raise is that being the healthiest and
raise is that being the healthiest and
raise is that being the healthiest and the strongest is then the one that comes
the strongest is then the one that comes
the strongest is then the one that comes up and so it could be buff morph could
up and so it could be buff morph could
up and so it could be buff morph could be a pale morph could be a dark morph I
be a pale morph could be a dark morph I
be a pale morph could be a dark morph I don’t think they’re looking at to any of
