Men DOING ... anything but sex

Accurate. Apologies, on my teeny screen that looked like a shoe in his tongs. Cold shoeing is more prevalent in this area, it's pretty rare to see a farrier using heat.

In my youth I apprenticed for a year with a female farrier, but focused on the hoof trimming itself. Was an amazing experience with an equally amazing woman!

May I ask what he is smithing?

He is forging the "A" for this sign. It was a demonstration project at a conference of the NW Blacksmith Assoc.
Here the letters are still attached to the forging tongs. So the project is not yet completed.

OK there's no man in the pic. He was teetering on the very top of his double ladders fully extended into a Blackthorn tree, trying his best to position his 'skep'. My best queen had vacated her hive a couple of days before I expected it. I had been planning to 'artificially swarm' her and her entourage away from the queen cells she had laid, to make two colonies next to each other out of the situation. She beat me to it, so I had to go get her!

The main part of the swarm happily clustered in my skep, I then had nine more trips up the ladder to collect groups of late-comers in a box, tip them out in front of the skep, and watch them scuttle in to join her majesty. Here's just one of those nine remainder groups, most of the colony already inside. I'm guessing twenty thousand bees total in this swarm?
