I see some hippo ivory in there that I had my eye on at one time. ![[Wink]](wink.gif) Maybe a pig fang as well?

Good hunting. LB

NASA, I was thinking about you yesterday. You once posted your concern about the plight of the American honey bee. What ever killed all the bees wiped all my hives out. It was like silent spring here this Spring. Then, the most amazing thing happened. I didn't clean up my hives like I normally would. About two weeks ago wild swarms of bees began moving into the abandoned hives. My home bee yard came back to life with out me lifting a single super. Now I have thriving colonies everywhere. Still do not know what killed all the bees.
furhvstr, figured I'd hire a Sherpa.
Leonard, Those are warthog tusks, way to loud, makes your ears ring for hours. Calmed then down with a second reed like Krusty uses.
Heres pictures of my new girls. They battle wasps constantly. These pictures show one of the girls doing battle.
Thank you,
9th

Yeah, when I said "pig fangs" I was referring to warthog.
Congrats on getting new residents in the old hives. I hope they aren't of the Africanized variety. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Not to take this thread off on a tangent (like that never happens), but I've seen more bees this year in central Kansas than in the last five years combined! This past season, I think it was in December before the blizzard, we were out calling coons and I spotted a big cottonwood tree with a basketball-sized hole about as high as the top of my head. On stood on my tip toes to look in and see if coons had been using it and that whole danged tree was full of honeycomb and bees. About a brazillion of them, I believe. First hive I've found in a long, long time.
BTW, nice collection! I just snagged a Herter's off Ebay for ten bucks this weekend, in the box. I'm giddy!

TA17Rem, Good to hear that. Here's a picture of a call that proves your point. A good sounding call doesn't have to be pretty. It looks like this but it is one of the finest sounding calls I've ever heard.
NASA, Think I'll call them "hog fangs" after your apt description when they go big time.
JeremyKS, I got carried away with my collecting.
Cdog911, That is wonderful news. After all the troubles bees are having from imported alien mites, viruses, bacteria, beatles and what ever the hell hit us last year, its wonderful to hear about healthy wild stock. Bees in the wild pollinated all our crops up until about eight years ago when 90% of wild honey bees were killed by an imported Asian mite. Thanks for the good news. That is the future of honey bee stock that is tough and survived the troubles.
