So as I am working in my back yard the other day I hear my son talking to his buddy saying,"remember, tomorrow we have to get some honey from that beehive!".

At first, I just smiled and thought, "that's a cute" figuring they were just pretending.  A few moments later I clued in that I was listening to the conversation of two six year old and that they're naive enough to play with a real beehive so I asked, "um, what beehive?!"

The boys quickly showed me not a beehive but a huge hornets next just under our roof overhang! 

The good news is that the next was about 25 feet or more off the ground so the boys were in no danger and couldn't have gotten any honey even if hornets made honey but I was very glad I overheard that innocent conversation and followed up.  Guess it really does pay to listen to our kids!

FOX 6 Meteorologist =========================
Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
