    So glad Otis is ok and you didn’t decide to collect the adder!
    Growing up in the Okanagan Valley, rattlesnakes were quite common. When moving irrigation lines in our hay fields I’d often hear the rattle and I’d just stop and watch the waist high grass wave as it moved away. The only time they were really dangerous was spring when they exit their dens and be sleeping in the sun. My uncle set the world record for side jump when he passed about 3’ from one and I pointed it out to him. 😂

    You guys just make me smile. I have a stupid question - sorry. But bees in the wild live in groups like ones in your boxes? In hives? I don't think I have ever seen a group of bees or a hive. Looking forward to more Bees, Sherlock, Otis, Ollie and of course the two of you. Have a good weekend.

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  Рік тому +3

      No such thing as a stupid question 👍🏻 Bees do love in groups (colonies) in the wild, although their numbers are falling drastically. Some species live in large colonies, some in smaller family colonies, and some live alone.

    So glad Otis is ok. What a lovely little dog he is with a gorgeous personality. What a shock for you though realising he had been bitten. I thought an adder bite was deadly so that’s reassuring. Still don’t want one though and hope it doesn’t happen again. Best of luck with all your hives and hope you get lots and lots of lovely honey (Heather I guess?). I did send you a small E voucher from your chosen supplier but found their website a bit confusing -probably me- so hope it reached you. All the best. 🌻🌻

    When I was a kid there were always kids getting bitten by adders. Every summer, playing in the bracken. It doesn't seem to happen now as kids don't go exploring as much.

    Re: the word Apiary, Victorian Gents toilets often had a bee pattern or shape near the water level. This was to give men something to aim at when having a wee, and so keep the surrounding floor clean. The reason why a bee was chosen was that it was a pun on the word Apis.

    Don’t like bees, no innuendos till the outtakes, made up for it though. Would have loved to meet “the boys”, was not to be, glad Otis recovered after his ordeal, bless him.
    Full of admiration for your knowledge of beekeeping, you make it so interesting, good luck with the project just send us a jar when your in production.
    Keep up the good work, don’t work too hard and stay safe, love to Shaun, Otis and Ollie.

    Sorry to hear about Otis, your lucky your up North, down here Otis would be gone. At the beginning of the year we lost a Jack Russel to a brown snake, it died within minuets. Never would of thought pommey dogs could get bit by a snake!

  • @janethollman7894
    @janethollman7894 Рік тому

    I’m glad Otis ok , I would have freaked out. My daughter got bitten by a snake in Cornwall. Not an adder luckily the doctor in A&E was South African. He recognised immediately that it was an exotic snake. Some intelligent individual had let their pet snake free. She had a week of treatment it wasn’t good very painful. So lucky she got the doctor from South Africa.
    It appears this is a regular event people get bored or the snake gets too big.
    I cannot believe people are that stupid. My daughter is an adult what if it was a child.

  • @NarrowboatJourneys
    @NarrowboatJourneys Рік тому

    Very glad Otis is ok. Snakes act strange and will often let you get very close when they are due to shed their skin. Basically they are not feeling normal and if you look closely their eyes will appear "milky" as the skin is detaching so they can't see vey well until the skin is shed. Try zooming in to your photo to see if this is the case here? I couldn't tell from the video. I've got very close to grass snakes when they are like this.
