    my child hood wasnt so regular by any means, but i guess your right I mean we use to have secert hide outs in the woods and things but they were gonna like topical trees go I guess there wouldnt be any hives.

    & yeah I never threw rocks at hives, I did shot a baby bird that was stuck to the side of my tree with a water gun .. it fell off and died : /

    Maybe I just wasn't a very quick study as a kid. Dunno, I've been stung, bitten by dogs, lost a third of my fingernails, many black eyes, i've broken my nose three times, broken a kneecap, tibia and fibia (different occasions), wrist, ribs, collarbone...

    Fuck, I should sue my parents for neglect haha.

    Queen bees hibernate during the winter. The drones die.

    [size=-1]Towards the end of summer bumblebee colonies produce males and new queens. The males (or drones) do no work in the colony and quickly leave the nest to search for, and mate with, the new young queens from other colonies. Once fertilised, the young queens also abandon the nest to start their winter hibernation - usually in small underground chambers in well drained soil, often under stones, logs or in grassy banks. Male bees die after mating, and when the young queens have departed, the rest of the colony soon perishes and dies.

    This is the way of the bee!

    yeah I've never broken a bone, except when the doctors broke my ribs, but that doesnt count, I've had a few black eyes but that was many lil kids being bullys, I got pushed off a water fountain once and slide halfway across the room and hit my eye on the corner of a bench.

    I got bite by a dog once but he was blinde and I was fuckin with them. I smashed my finger in a car door once but it didnt even break it was just flat.

    I rolled down a hill cement hill flippin and tossin but I just had bad bruses and big scabs.and Ive had posion ivy.

    I think thats about it... man thats stuffs no fun to tell people about : / damn it!

    I tried to kiss a bee when I was little and it stung me in the lip...
    but I think bees hibernate like bears.. because in the summer their comming out of the sides of houses like mad crazyness....
