It There A Proper Way lb Wear A Bee Veil?

摘要

Sometimes you see things that are very funny and you break out laughing even when it is really a serious situation. I was at a beekeepers field day and there were so many people there that we were divided into three groups. I was listening to what thespeaker of our group was saying when I received a nudge from a friend standing next to me. He pointed to one of the other groups. What did I see? There was a beekeeper putting on his "new" veil. The veil was one of the slip-on jackets with the veil attached. The beekeeper had slipped on the veil, but had gotten it backwards. Here he was starring at the white protection backing that would keep the bees from stinging him in the back of neck. I can imagine that what he was seeing would be like looking ata blank movie screen. He had discovered that the veil was on backwards and so wastugging at one side of the veil and it just wouldn't move. After three or four tugs and changing sides of the veil, he decided that he should take the veil off and put it back on because his arms were preventing the veil in turning. So he attempted to correct the situation, only to get the veil back on in the backward position. He then attempted a third time to get the veil right and was successful. However there were about a half a dozen or more of us in the other group that were amused. In fact, I had a friend in our group that always has a camera with him and he sent me a picture of the situation. However over the years that photo has gotten lost and it wasn't that clear as it was taken from about a half block away.
