ReplyGotta chime in on behalf of Lucky Lab, my favorite new watering hole. I can't imagine going to Wegman's before LL, even if it were sitting right next door. Maybe if I also had to get my grocery shopping done. :-)

ReplyThe initial reference to Upper Dublin's ranking in the body of this article was incorrect and has been fixed. Thanks to those readers who emailed to point out the inconsistency.

On the article Plymouth Township Residents Raise Concerns over Beekeeping Neighbor

Hi Patricia -- I wasn't judging and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was. I just don't understand the level of fear that it seems was expressed by some residents.
I'm also allergic to bee & wasp stings, for what it's worth. Honeybees don't frighten me, though. They're not aggressive unless they're physically handled or the hive is threatened. Honeybees have been cultivated in residential areas for much of human history.
I wonder if (like many people) you may be confusing honeybees with wasps, yellowjackets, etc., which often disrupt picnics while scavenging for food. Many people generically refer to these insects as "bees" when they're not bees at all.

ReplyI have to admit to being a bit confused about the uproar over this. Honeybees are pretty docile. Even in the case of so-called "Africanized" honeybees (the "killer bees" of 1970s/1980s hysteria), you really have to mess with the hive to be in any danger. Beekeepers have worked in in the middle of populated area for millennia.

I wore a hoodie over the weekend. Oddly, I didn't rob a bank.

Reader Anna Astler had this to say on our Facebook page:
"We as tax payers can not take much more...most are at their limit and beyond....with little or no relief in sight.....food prices went up, gas prices went up....our pay didnt....but everyone wants more of it. How is ANYONE supposed to provide even a somewhat decent life for themselves and their families??? You have a savings...cut the tax payers a break for once."
What do you think?
