Three lonely protestors stood outside Five Star Firearms in Zion, Il., last Saturday, holding “Renounce violence, Reject guns” signs and blaming the firearm industry for crimes committed with guns in the United States.

“So it matters to me that my mom is the only person running for president who not only constantly makes that connection but also has a strong record on gun control and standing up to the NRA,” said Chelsea Clinton.

This week I’m returning to the subject of beekeeping, because the last one didn’t go as I had planned. If you watched the videos for that article, it turned out that one of my hives had gotten extremely aggressive, and I’m sure it turned a lot of people off to beekeeping. In this video I am rewinding to the beginning, where most people start, by “installing” package bees into a brood box.

And that includes removing frames and extracting honey.

If you know someone who likes girlie guns, I’ve got just the thing. The Chic Lady from Charter Arms. It even comes in a pink faux alligator case. This could be a good Mother’s Day gift idea, if the Mom in your life likes pink guns. And Charter makes them in other colors, too–some of which are traditionally manly.

If it’s about guns and it’s in the “news,” it’s probably 100% wrong. Unless it’s not there at all.

Okay, is the suspense killing you? Are you dying to know what revolver I opted to buy (even though the pictures indubitably gave it away)?
