    You need a tinfoil hat with an Infra red connection. The queenright status is beamed directly into your head as you approach the hive. Never fails.

    Today I need a tinfoil sou'wester. Queenright or not is irrelevant.
    I'm buying some of those plastic hives as I reckon I could strap a few together and paddle down to the apiary.
    Bloody weather

    If you get one of the omlet beehaus hives you should be able to fit oars to it fairly easily

    What a splendid example of thinking outside, erm, the beehive. A most innovative idea.

    Probably cheaper to buy a proper boat and you could get it in a nicer colour as well.

    Have you seen the price of plastic boats, Jon? Astronomical!

    Never had any great desire to take to the water Trog so I am blissfully unaware of the cost of boating!

    But think of the hats you can wear.. and the shoes - and the cocktails... I assume you mean a proper boat. Like these http://tinyurl.com/c8gu63k

    Yea, one like that which does not require oars.

    When I worked in Spain many years ago Don Fausto, the boss of the language school took some of us out on his (smallish) yacht. We were supposed to be sailing from Huelva down the coast and up the Guadalquivir river to Seville.
    Sadly we were becalmed within a few miles and had to resort to drinking a carry out on the boat.
    Wasn't a bad day.
