tristan 4,316 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maggie James 874 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 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! Unfortunately our PC society has forgotten how to have a laugh at ourselves. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mummzie 722 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 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... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john berry 5,565 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
