I've sent a separate reply to TRAIN re locomotives.
Apiarists use smoke to quieten the bees when removing the honeycomb but my
Honda smoke has a different smell, hi.
I have ants here known as a Hoppy Joe. They're a reddish colour, about an
inch long, they do jump and have a bite like being stabbed with a hot
knife. I have a number of colonies scattered around the place but none too
close to the house. And, yes, they hate the Honda. Must be the rotating
blades that attack the top of the nest. Thye're as game as Ned Kelly,
having fear of nothing.
Cheers ... Ray vk2tv
