Title: Wow what a surprise!!!!
Post by: mtman1849 on September 07, 2008, 12:33:16 pm
This morning while checking the feeder on my nuc I discovered these just about 20 feet from my hives and they were really working it

I don't know what it is or how it got there,  I sure would like to know how to grow more of whatever it is
because they are really working it.

Careful, when I went to check out these photos, my virus protection detected something in them. I closed down the computer really fast because it got me very nervous, but you should look into this before someone gets a horrible virus from looking at the photos.

I know my virus protection is called Samantec and when I opened up the photo, it came on and said virus detected. I am completely at a loss as to why it only happened to me, but I felt I should mention this, because I did get a trojan horse a few months ago from opening up some photos on this forum.

I had something pop up as well and my virus protection caught it, so I closed the window, yes be careful!

I think what you guys are catching is the pop up advertisement at Image shack some virus protection program my see the pop up ad as a potential threat.

Sorry and I do not mean to be off topic, but I did get an awful trojan horse virus from opening up a member's photos here on this forum a few months ago. Totally crashed my computer and it had to be rebuilt. And the member agreed that there was a virus showing on his photos, which he fixed once he was alerted about it. Just have to share what happened to me.

Truly sorry for hijacking the topic and I will not say anything more about it.

I believe it was an add that popped up but it was different from most, took up the entire screen and the computer asked if I wanted to open some sort of file to continue, but that the file may be a threat.

Beautiful pictures, and yes, Doak, I am pretty sure that it is the spearmint.  Beautiful and most wonderful day, Cindi
