Went down there in '76. You could smell an orange grove miles before you got to it. Heavenly. Went back in '86. The groves that were there ten years earlier were gone. Stopped into a Mexican restaurant to feed the wife and was asking what happened to 'em. I was told that Dow had came out with some new fangled spray that would stop the fruit from freezing. It killed the trees. Dow paid out big bucks in a lawsuit and replanted the orchard. The new trees died. Glad I didn't have stock in Dow!
THAT EXPLAINS WHAT WENT DOWN AROUND HERE!! I never knew why every single orange tree (thousands of them on a huge farm three miles down the road) just... died. My neighbor's orange tree had no problem.
 
If I go back the number of my living years before my birth date, I find that among other things;
Benjamin Harrison was President. The Mammoth Mine Disaster occurred, as did the Grand Opening of Carnegie Hall, the first display of Thomas Edison's kinetoscope, and Marie Owens becomes (probably) the first female police officer in the U.S., with the Chicago Police Department.
66. That wuz a good year.

Try to find yourself some Orange Blossom Honey. I keep jars of it at home.
I hear Pitcairn Honey is one of the best in the world, but I've never tried it.
I'm thinkin' Orange Blossom Honey is just as good. Yes, the smell is heavenly!
Believe it or not bees that are around poison ivy produce great honey.
There is such a sweet smell when you open a hive.
I pulled a cover off of a hive and there was a little spider and a yellow jacket swooped down grabbed it and flew
I lost a queen and had to buy another one $50.
I put her in the hive and 2 secs later I watched $60 fly away .

note ☝️ The queen cost me $50 and I tossed $10 because I had to drive a hour and twenty each way.
Should add another $15 for lunch too
Bees are not easy ,lifting supers ,losing hives,
