Animal Facts : Honeybee Blair Athol, South Australia, Australia
By 3LG on 19-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4QPN2

Cache was in place, have collected nano.
Cache now archived, space available for others ??

Gave the structure a good going over but no luck. I even widened the search but still no luck. I’ll have to come back another time with fresh eyes.

Found after a long search! It might be my GPS But Had me in the wrong spot to start with. After reading some logs geomum came up with the cache. Thanks for the cache

Looked high and low, and then something caught Mrs. Aprikots eye and then it moved when she touched it, sneaky spot, cool hide, cheers cobber. Please be careful looking around as there's a glass bottle nearby.

Cache #90
Traditional Cache #77

Wowwwww spent soooo long here haha. Never give up!!!! Love these animal facts! TFTC

We touched everything (except the cache obviously) but came up short. No luck here tonight.

??

I had a look for this late last year but had to register a DNF. Because I drive past this spot every day, sometimes several times a day, it has become a minor irritation for me. Today I finally stopped and within two minutes had the well concealed cache in hand. TFTC

That was just lucky. About to give up. Hard find

Thanks 3LG for this one. With all the DNFs I thought it was going to be hard but found the little guy far quicker than expected. Nice new log sheet so didn’t have to roll far. What a divine night for caching. Red wine. Caching. Life is great

Checked again and it's still here.
The bees here are low flying

Looked for ages but couldn’t find.

No luck for us here

No find - was dark and pretty cold.

Sad

Looked everywhere with Susy.

Log replaced

Mr Emily and son had to head into town tonight so headed in early to get some caching along the way. TFTC

Another sad closed shop nice bees TFTC

Made a quick search and find while their was a brake in busses

GCGL - TFTC

I drive past this cache often. Sometimes, when I think of it, I decide that I might have a look for it. However, it seems that there is always someone in the bus shelter.

Today, being a Sunday, I thought it might be quiet. But once again there were muggles. However, this time I thought I’d wait them out and after about 10 minutes they all got on a bus and left.

It took me a while, but eventually I found it. And I just managed to replace it before someone else turned up to wait for their bus.

An appropriate location for this one given the nearby business, and its as busy as a beehive here at times! Thanks 3LG for the cache.

Previously, we had stopped for a look without any luck, but a quiet Sunday was more successful.

Clever hide

hevwalker & I grabbed this one before the next event.
We were running out of places to look (even under the seat)
When hevwalker had the 'found it' cry.
Thanks for the hide 3LG

Had some time to kill before attending my event this afternoon so grabbed this one on the way...
A well hidden cache...as it blends in...spotted...
Needs a new logbook (CO informed)...
TFTC 3LG

**# 19556** Found on the SA leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A perfect Spring day for a drive around in north east Adelaide again.
A lot more muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache 3LG,

Losing hope

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

ZZzz..

Mogni was in the big smoke and doing some shopping at Costco. Caught up with her there as well as AnyMules and Kiwi Ozzie and headed out from the heart of BobLand on the search for a few BFE's and anything else we might be passing.
This was another of those 'just passing' caches. Today being Easter Saturday was the perfect time to grab this one without muggle interference. Or so we thought. Bloody muggle at GZ playing on his phone. So we all joined him which was enough for him to be uncomfortable enough to move and wait elsewhere. [:o] Then it took a little while to spot the hide. For once I found the cache and we didn't have to employ the mogni magic voodoo mojo.
Insert the well know Freddo Nano rant here [blah blah blah and a kitten dies.]
How could you do that to the kittens.
Thanks 3LG for the cache.

Out for a big day of geocaching with Brisal5, Anymules and KiwiOzzie. With these puzzle solvers on board I knew I was in for a big day of grabbing caches as well as many giggles (mainly me). Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment and adding to the adventure.

Out and about with AnyMules, mogni and Brisal5 getting some caches. Good company, good weather and if course more than a few boxes found. TFTC 15/4/17, 3:51 pm Find #2081

We flew to this one and buzzed around a muggle who was instantly distracted and ran away. This left us to search for the dastardly hide. [Insert nano rant here]. 15/4/17, 3:54 pm Find #4570

out for a day and night of caching with snap happy and getnicked. Lucky for us the structure was empty of muggles making for a quick find. log full.

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos

*Bloody Nano's! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who **hides** Nano's*...

Out collecting smiley's with Snap Happy and sir_spectre.
It was a day filled with fun, laughter and smiles.

Find #726

Having had to take dad's car north to get serviced I decided I had enough time to pick up a few caches whilst I was waiting. Some generally quick finds were made, along with some good hides. A positive for the day was being able to pick up a few puzzle finals that had been sitting in my gps for a long time.
tftc

Tftc log book needs replacing its full

Day 265 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1372.

We had a 30-day premium member trial, so I decided to make full use of these 30 days by finding at least one premium-only cache everyday (except event day).

This morning, I left home 15 minutes earlier, so I can make a detour on my way to work, to search for this cache.

Parked my car on Meadows Ave, and walked to GZ. Well, it should be easy. Checked the classic spot, but no trace of cache. Have to check the hint. Found the cache with the help of hint.

Carefully signed the log, and carefully placed it back. Cache is in excellent condition.

Luckily no one was waiting for bus.

Thanks for the "Animal Facts" cache series, 3LG.

Out and about between International Geocaching Day events and a netball match so of course I was going to find a few caches along the way.
Had the place to myself so was able to search without being interrupted. [^] Cache was soon found after I took a seat.
Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Not a soul in sight which made this one easy to find YAY.then all of a sudden people came from everywhere so found ourselves having to sit around and wait to replace the cache lol.
Tftc

I love these Animal Fact hides by 3LG and Nanos are up there with the best for me with fave caches to find... oh the "Challenge!" The spawn of Satan can go and _ _ _ _ well you can guess that coz today the "Spawn Of Satan" was quickly defeated [^]. The, indeed, 'wee bee' cache was in hand and the log (all BEE it was nearly quite full) was signed at 12:20 on the very cold day of Friday 24 June 2016. (Oh, by the way i love Honey. I have it on my Brekky every morning), I never got 'Stung' with the find either and the re-hide was a cinch also with no Muggles on both occasions [^], lucky me, BEE-ing a weekday and all . TFTC 3LG

Found with 2011*turtle after we had waited for a bus to collect the muggles in the area. TFTC

Found on a wet miserable day with vj187. A quick find. TFTC

I sat in my car and waited for 2 buses to collect muggles before i could check out GZ.

Whilst I sat there I contemplated how odd it is that I have a sweet tooth, but weirdly honey is one food I really can't manage...YUCK!! [xx(] Vomit stations!! [xx(] However, sucking sweetened condensed milk out of a tube - no probs , but eat a teaspoon of honey and I feel sick But I love to cook honey soy chicken kebabs ....[?][?] LOL, ok I know that is odd...too much thinking...now on to cache hunting ....

When I got to the structure I had a good feel around. OMG my hands became filthy!! EEK ...and then I saw it, I didn't need to get dirty hands at all! [:(!]

Although it was a sweet cache, I do have to insert the obligatory rant......


Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos...

Thanks for the cache 3LG

This was pure evil....

Wow... So small. Well played

Our first ever geocache

Decided to spend a quick afternoon caching, and since I was nearby thought I might get some honey.
Alas the shop is closed, and alas it is moving at Easter. Hopefully the art work will last a while.
Took e a few minutes to spot the bugger, but thankfully no muggles were around as I looked.
Took advantage of the seat to lay the log out on and took pity and signed the log as "C4".
Anyway, you know what is coming next.....

Cheers

Nice hide. Didn't write in log as many muggles waiting for the bus would have been too curious.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Called in on the way to work to try to get it off the list. Parked round the corner and walked to GZ. Muggles waiting but thought I could see it as I walked by. 2 busses and about 10 muggles later I got a clear run at what I thought was it. Bother it's not. Rethink time. Sat down and contemplated the next move and started a new search and hey presto there it was. Retrieved cache extracted the log and signed it then had to reroll it and put it back. This takes more time than finding the spawn of Satan. Nano rant. Anyway it was a fun find and glad to get it off the list. Love the animal facts series. Gratias pro cache.

God I hate nanos. But we found it eventually! Tftc

God I hate nanos. But we found it eventually! Tftc

Short wait for a people mover to move the muggles along. Then, Lo and behold, we had it! TFTC

First night time find.... And In the rain... Thanks!!

TFTC

Found on the way back from Adelaide. Pesky Muggles were not too far away so had to initiate Stealth mode 7 to find this one. Our first find in quite a while, well quite a while for us anyway..TFTC

Luckily the stars must have aligned when I took a seat and placed my head on the side of the shelter while i had a think about where it could be. LOW and behold there the incy beasty was.



Number 9 of 13 for the day

Finally found by The Boofs TFTC ?. Bloody nano!!!!

Found during a caching foray into the northern suburbs. Very appropriate location although it wasn't my first search here, and even today I had to wait for a bus to pick up the 'occupants' before making the sting. Thanks for the cache 3LG!

Mr Tardis was on his way up north to the McKee event. He stopped by here to grab what was meant to be a quick cache, but 10 minutes later the damn nano was found.

Every time you hide a nano, the Daleks take a kitten

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache 3LG.

2km walk on a hot summer evening to this bus stop do just had to find this bee a short while later had cache in hand. TFTC onwards to the city

Evevtually after a call to the CO we got it. Waiting for a muggle to go TFTC

We had three sets of eyes looking for this one and couldn't find it.

Bloody Nano, spawn of satan, burn down the factory.........

Ok so that is the Nano rant out the way, the cache was found after Mrs Sewer Rat did the phone a friend option and called the CO direct - Cache was found very quickly after that. Thanks 3LG for the cache.

While we were searching for the nano, a muggle entered the area.
So we vacated the area, and called the CO for help.
Then returned to the area to find muggle had gone and we were able to make the find. TFTC

Found it right where i would have put it, should i we've lose all my senses and out our a nano.

Tftc

We were a little worried about this one, being that a muggle was waiting for the bus when we arrived, but the bus came and he went, so we had a clear coast. After a bit of searching, and trying to look like we were waiting for a bus, we laid our hands on it. Thanks for the hide.

Last time Owl was here there was a highly suspicious muggle neighbour watching the proceedings, which rather dampened any attempt at a sensible search. Today the area was completely free of onlookers and the little critter was soon in hand. Owl would include a nano rant, but she's already completed that challenge.

We were looking all over the bus stop but we had no success. Unfortunately as we kept on searching a bus came past, so we looked rather suspicious, because obviously we didn't catch it... And eventually we found the cache. [^] [^]

Had a look for this one 11 months ago with no luck.
Much better results this time, but reading the logs was a bit confused as to the size of the cache.
Anyway that was answered in a matter of seconds as I put my hand on it immediately.
Nice to have this one crossed off.

Cache is back in its original hiding spot on the bus stop but no longer up high.

Found this while we were out to grab a few caches in the area this afternoon. What a great hide - the only problem was finding a time when there weren't any muggles looking our way. TFTC

We DNFed this one awhile back, saw that the hide had been placed in a new spot so thought it would be good time to give this one another go, quick easy find today, quickly signed and replaced log. It felt good signing a new logbook, don't get to do that real often

As it doesnt look like they are replacing the shelter cache is now different and in a new location, no longer a nano.

All good to go again.

I am still waiting to see what the council is doing about replacing the shelter here.

The council are going along and replacing all the sidewalk with pavers and have totally removed the bus shelter which had the cache, i will have to wait for them to replace the shelter and see if there is a hiding place for this cache.

Great hide!!

Owner check after recent DNF's, pleased to report cache is safe & sound.

Nice new log roll. Out caching with big bro Geowombo and baby sister. Quick find thanks to the good eye site of my sister we were able to find this one on a quiet Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Despite being in the company of a previous finder, four sets of eyes missed this one. A muggle gardening in the front yard of the house didn't help. It looks like it's been moved.

This was my 2nd visit here and 2nd DNF. We had a previous finder with us but still no cache although the muggle activity was making searching difficult.

We completely aborted the attempt when a bus came along and wanted to pick us up!

TFTC 3LG, maybe I'll be 3rd time lucky!

Replaced the log, all good to go for a little while longer.

Mrs Froghoppin and I needed to buy torches, as we were well prepared for our night cache run!
Most places sold candles though - they would have been good to smoke out the bees!
All was good though, Mrs Frog has an eye for insects, and we had this signed and back in no time.
tftc and the facts

A night out with Mr Maddycat and a tree frog both nocturnals with eyes that see in the dark.So who would have thought that we would need a torch. Bees hmmmm where would it be hiding that is a job for
a tree frog.Found it and off to the next nocturnal adventure.TFTC

No luck for me today.
The bus stop was empty and all.

Reperio at 0930 with Big Matt and Shell and Farmer Frentzen.

On this our final day in South Australia after enjoying a fantastic few days at the Oz Mega event in Murray Bridge, FF, BM and I headed out today to find some urban caches. Having found many Animal Facts caches the day before...we were ready for some more...however the view was somewhat different. Cache was found after a brief search.

Gratias 3LG.

Our 8407th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen and Marcus Vitruvius on our trip to the OZ Mega 2014. This was a very impromptu trip with my manager only approving my leave a week or two out. We managed to snag some cheap flights and met up with MV in SA to have a roaring 3 day tour.

Hey, I remember these from yesterday, the view is a bit different though!

Thanks 3LG for the cache.

Found during another visit to South Australia for the 2014 OzMega with Big Matt and Shell and Marcus Vitruvius.

A last minute decision to attend the Mega saw Big Matt and I book flights a week out from the event to arrive on Sunday. We caught up with Marcus Vitruvius at the event and decided to combine our search efforts for the trip.

Thanks 3LG for the cache.

tb visits

had to rush to adekaide to pick up some car parts and visit the apple store.

this cache was close to one of my stops so thought that i would have a look, had to wait for all the muggles to catch there bus which never seemed to never arrive, but it did finally. had a look around couldnt see it till i was PAF and then spotted it. made for a quick sign befor the next passenger arrived.

i promise next time im in town 3lg i will give you more notice then i did.


889

Had to wait for muggles to go. They seemed to get sick of waiting form the bus. Thanks 3LG.

Looked everywhere lots of spiders but no bees

After a DNF here a couple of weeks ago, we came back today for a quick find this morning (our first for the day - always good to start with a find), err, we think [B)].
This find wasn't without its obsatcles though - had to wait for a muggle across the road to move on before we even got out of the car (we think he was waiting for someone who never arrived) [8)].
Then, out of the car, we approached the bus shelter to look, but had to avoid someones early morning dinnner (fresh, regurgitated) and human faeces (slightly older we think), both highly toxic in fragrance [xx(].
Tiptoed around and quickly spotted the cache this time . TNLNSL.
Replaced it and again, carefully detoured around above mentioned obstacles, back to the safety and sweet aroma of our vehicle [^].
And we always thought the badlands were further north . Thanks 3LG, err, we think (at least there were no bodies) [:o)].

A relatively quick find. TFTC

Found with Foxbane after work - took us a while to spot the tiny tiny thing.

TFTC.

Found after work with Schnail

TFTC

Thought we'd round out our numbers on the way home with this cache, but it wasn't to be .
Searched and searched, expanded the search area, but still no luck.
Maybe it was the heat of the day affecting us [xx(], so we got a late lunch at the bakery and headed home to the cool of the air conditioner .
We'll be back . . .

Out caching with JJ52, it was getting late and we were getting tired but we still gave this one a good try, even got out the geo steps to have a thorough look but just couldn't see it. Will have to try another day. This stop ended up being our last stop for the night. TFTC 3LG

Was heading out to my 4WD Club meeting and had some time to grab some on the way. TFTC.
