Sounds like Rossman was a little light on the cost of the hives, bees and honey.

$10,500 / 60 hives is only $175 each.

The migrant worker was only wanting to get arrested so that he could get medical attention and out of the hot sun, it gets hot picking eggplants you know!!

Fred has always struck me as a very easy going fellow. I don't know him well enough to say but if it were me that mexican would have taken a one way flight back home at the end of my boot. I'm fairly easy going until you mess with my stuff.

Too much tequila or revenge on the bees for a past sting?  Makes you wonder why.  Will the video show up on Youtube?

The boxes would have been all cypress and painted to boot but Fred is a supplier so his costs may be lower but I still would have quoted a retail replacement value on the equipment.

  I've only met Fred a couple of times and he does seem like an easy going kind of guy but also a no-nonsense kind of guy.  Of course he's like all the rest of us husbands who try to keep there wives happy...when mama's not happy ain't nobody happy....and something tells me Miss Ann ain't real happy right about now.   :shock:
