I pass on this story from Facebook Middle Aged Club  ·  Follow odSperntsocuh1Pt  9860cJ02tau 9htm385ct294mgaMfy0:l88f5u2u3   ·  My dad has bees.Today I went to his house and he showed me all of the honey he had gotten from the hives. He took the lid off of a 5 gallon bucket full of honey and on top of the honey there were 3 little bees, struggling. They were covered in sticky honey and drowning....

Up at 7:30 after a restless night most of which was spent watching TV. I am truly shocked at the firm Horizon that used faulty software with their post office account.
