tristan 4,362 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 got told about this a little while ago. another beek had a brown pants moment. its worth remember of what can go wrong. so i hope we all can learn something from this. beeks id is removed from the pics. they are all safe, they managed to bail out early on. short story is that where taking hives up the track and the ute started sliding back down the track. bailed out as the ute slid off the track. ute then turned and nosed dived down the hill. something to of concern is how easily the deck has come off. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

yesbut 6,230 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Easy to pass judgement but it looks awfully like a case of P.P. decision making. Link to post Share on other sites

Maggie James 899 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Crikey - These days, that ad would be banned due to lack of PPE gear, no safety belts, not to mention smoking, & DOC would prob have a blue fit with someone driving through rivers & bush in that manner!

Mummzie 736 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 When Scotty took Crumpy for a spin thru Wellington was a great contra but not often played. It was equally un PC in regard to road safety. Ahh....those were the days... Link to post Share on other sites

john berry 5,636 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The ad reminds me of the time we had a beekeepers protest rally in Wellington. Frank Lindsey gave us all maps so us country cousins wouldn't get lost but unfortunately the map sent us the wrong way up a one-way street. There were rumours for years afterwards about bee trucks driven by a long-haired,, bearded and wild eyed beekeepers wandering lost in the streets of Wellington, 9 Link to post Share on other sites
