The biggest problem I had was that my mother and my little brother were both allergic to the stings so I had to be careful, but we all enjoyed the honey. I even worked for a commercial beekeeper for a while and I still enjoy seeing bees working.

We had a decent turnout with a fair number of campers and shooters.
The prizes were good and the raffle table was loaded with prizes thanks to club members, especially Al who donated about 10 "mystery box" prizes that were mostly small leathercraft projects with beadwork. I won a beaded tobacco pouch with a small pipe but I don't smoke. It is still a nice piece.
For the $25 entry fee you could do any or all of the available events which were Rifle, Pistol, Smoothbore and Novelty plus Knife, Hawk, Fire and Archery.

We humans could use a lesson or two or three or four thousands millions from how they live. Last year I got 35 gallons of honey from 9 hives. Look for a mead recipe or two later. My oldest son put up several different flavors of mead and we are waiting patiently for them to mature. The sneak preview tastes shows the wait will be worth it.

Got the boxes, just have to get some bees. I used to maintain 2-3 hives. In the middle of hundreds of acres of obnoxious grapes doesn't support too many hives. I do miss them.

It's bee season for me and my "girls" need some TLC after their winter. Look for some honey recipes in the July, August time frame. Provided I'm still alive and kicking.

Hanshi and I thank you for posting the recipe!

Traditional Food / Liquid Apple Pie
« Last post by doggoner on March 27, 2025, 02:18:17 PM »Ran across an old post from God knows when and there was the "Rev's" recipe for Apple Pie in a jug. I mixed up a tame batch (I used Capt Morgan's spiced rum) and WOW!!!!!!!! No wonder it was a hit at the rondies he went to.
Rev's Apple Pie
1 Gallon Apple Cider (unfiltered)
1 Cup Cranberry juice
1 fifth (3 cups or 750ml) of Bacardi rum (I recommend the 151 type for a bit more "kick")
1 cinnamon stick
Put it all in a container and wait a couple of weeks ( longer is better but I didn't wait).
Happy pie drinking.

P.S. You don't have to be at a rondy to enjoy this libation.

I feel your pain, brother hotfxr and not just the pain of not being considered a legal citizen of the remainder of the US. As you know from our childhood antics, I obey the law and abide by such. BUT I always put more legitimacy in the greater law of the land which doesn't always agree with silliness. So continue your tests in Nevada - even if your global position puts you a bit more to the west. Yes, mom used to help us out but we are mostly on our own now.
