    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  There was an article I read ( will see if I can re-find it), and the top paid harbor pilot in Los Angeles USA(?) I think was paid something like USD$450K/year. He said that the hardest and most dangerous part of the job was getting on and off ships!

                        @George-K Very cool. Was he using an air blower or some sort of spray occasionally?

                          Bees are so dumb. Read some history. A representative republic is the best form of governance. Hives. Lol. I remember liking hives, when I was like 2.

                          Education is extremely important.

                            Looks like a blower (watched at 0.25 speed) to herd the stray bees to a location where they can sense the rest of the "pack."
