While in Germany, one of New Mexico Man's favorite hobbies was Honey-Bee Herding. Over time, it became a bit of an obsession. In fact the compulsion became so great he could be found herding honey bees in nearly every spare moment. Day or night he'd herd those little buzzers with nothing more than his bare hands. Only one honey bee was ever a match for him and that little stinger had 'high-flying" super powers. Sixteen-stories-high flying abilities to be exact.Anyway there was a plethora of honey bees in Germany. Certainly more than a country's fair share; especially a rather small country. At one point we even worked on a campaign to export the excess honey bees; even helped put together some marketing materials for the U.S.A.. Alas, we were ahead of our time and the U.S.A. didn't see the need for importing honey bees.
Suppose they'd be more receptive now, perhaps this little video would do the trick. (New Mexico Man was the stunt double for the guy on the pogo stick and I was in charge of the bee smokers).
