For what it's worth,
Many years ago I worked with a Nigerian immigrant. A very nice and likable guy (as I expect most are). He told the story of how, as young kids, he and his older brother
would smoke out and then steal honeycombs from killer bee hives. They would do this for the honey, not money. He further said that most people misunderstand killer bee aggression. You can get pretty close (not TOO close) to the nest baring tree without a problem. Once agitated, they will chase you for up to a mile.
Anyway, one day they revisited a hive that they had raided before. He said that they did not smoke the hive well. When his brother climbed up he was badly swarmed. My coworker said he ran like the Devil was behind him (his words as I remember) He got a few stings, but was ok. His brother died...
My point of this rambling post is that if you want a pic of your mugu posing near killer bees, you could probably get one. It won't be your lad though....just some poor SOB the mugu has given a few bucks to pose for you. Just like the fish head trophies.
Dead Fish on a head don't hurt anyone....these pics might. Not telling anyone what to do/not do.
Just FYI

The ITP rule has a fine line between what's acceptable and what's not acceptable, but I believe that the principal is, that if I don't encourage him to use an ITP then that's his moral and legal responsibilty, not mine.

There's no reason to believe that he will use an ITP, but if you took such an attitude then the more creative baits (not that I consider this to have been creative) would always be ruled out based purely on the possibility that he may involve one.

After all, if he would so easily bully, persuade or force another person to do his work for him, then it is likely that he does that every day as part of his natural criminal behaviour.

As I mentioned, I think it's unlikely I'll get a picture near a real swarm anyway. I just find the idea amusing.

I believe that I'm okay with the ITP rule on this, if not, I'm sure that someone will tell me.

Of course the Killer Bee Lad is suffering from a selective hearing disorder. This was his original reply to me

I think his mention of the picture being a 'trust picture' shows that he may have been baited before and that maybe his photo is already in the archives.

Then I got this reply to my request for THE PICTURE I ASKED FOR Evil or Very Mad

Thanks am looking foward to hear from you very soon
Best Regards

So, all I can do is show my happiness at his prices but also insist that the photo is a necessity for marketing purposes to show it as a natural and wild product from an exotic location. That's my angle. I just need to hammer it home with a large mallet. I'll also develop the Gordon Ramsay idea a little more.

Nice work Gomer. Yes, the pic of the wild hives are necessary to shoe the customers

also make sure it is `organic honey`

no insect repellant to be used at all!
all 100% natural.

I sometimes disappoint myself in how easily bored I get, and that's why mass baiting Lotto Lads suits me. It's all action and never a dull moment. Also you can pick and choose the fun ones from the mountain you are baiting.

However, my first ever bait lasted 6 months so I know it's in me somewhere, if the bait is interesting enough.

I therefore gave my 'Killer Bee' scammer a hefty kick up the backside - and I got this reply to my enquiry as to what's going on and where's my Number 2 trophy picture of him dying under a Killer Bee swarm Laughing

and I got this just now

Thanks for your reply,
pls not that am not trying to write to you. it is because am contacting the local supply to get your propsal. i have told them this mornring what you need and the are working towards that.the reason why i do not reply yesterday is to meet them frist then i will now get to you forsure.
so the say that the will be snaping it.as soon as the photo is ready i wll send it to you.pls list how you want the writing to be,it is only the name of your shop? pls give me your mobile phone so the can speak to you in phone and be sure of you that will make them more serious. thanks have a nice day.am looking forward to hear from you soon.wait for your phone
Best regards

That's a blow as my answerphone is in constant use with Lotto Lads - but heck they're trash anyway, so what's more important ? a scummy Lotto Lad or a trophy machine ? Laughing

I doubt that Lotto Lads will even notice a Busy Bee Honey Emporium greet.anyway Very Happy

I'll make myself an ex-pat American livng in D0ncastershire Very Happy
