It's a sticky subject.

I am not talking about stamps that depict pictures of honey ... although if you know of any, let me know.

I am exiled to the basement for my space-consuming hobbies. I have a good part of it completely filled with stamps that I am sorting for SFTW.

I now have a lot of honey to extract, and a brand new honey extractor. It requires a lot of space to extract honey, and everything has to be covered with plastic or paper because if you step on a piece of wax, or a glob of honey, and track it all over the house, it's a mess ... and there will be scolding involved.

So, I am going to have to be extra-careful not to get any honey on stamps today.

Thank you!

Apimondia is the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations. They have a biennial Congress meeting, which is also a massive international conference and trade show for beekeeping and honey producers. The 46th Congress was in Montreal, Canada in 2019. The 47th Congress was going to take place in September, in Ufa, Russia, but it has been postponed to 2022 due to COVID-19.

Here is my extractor, temporary stopped to let the filters catch up with the honey coming out. If you look in the background, to the right of the shiny metal tank, you can see a sheet of plastic over boxes of stamps.

So far, there have been no casualties.

I have always found bee keeping a wonderful hobby. There is a bee keeper/saver on FB. He will remove bees and their honeycombs from houses and barns. ( Love the marble floor)

Doesn't seem to be much on any of the links about stamping so I didn't bother to click on any of them. I did however waste a few seconds scrolling to the bottom. Looks like he/she at least checked out a bunch of stampbears posts. Maybe they will become stamp collectors.
