So just how many posts does it take to become a worker bee anyhow?

[Needleroozer]

I remember Rachel being one after 50, but I had only 47 posts when I noticed the change for me. And is there anyone who has posted enough to get to whatever is next after worker bee?

Can you tell my dh is home and depressed and I need something inconsequential and silly to get me through the morning?

[Tonia]

It was post 50 for me (I think :o )

[Karen in CO]

I changed at 52

[sdWTMer]

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that your dh is depressed. That's a tough one. :( Hang in there LB!

[Needleroozer]

Why do you suppose it has been different for different folks? Does it have anything to do with those pesky reputation points or something?:confused:

[momofkhm]

Well, it's more than 80! I thought I had seen someone with the next level this morning. Now I can't find her. I did find someone with 80 and is still a worker bee.

[ArwenA]

I'm not sure when it changed me but I have 42 posts, this is 43, and I'm a Worker Bee.

[JFS in IL]

while the rest of us post away, slaving away to try and move up from larvae status. Sigh.

[GreenKitty]

I wonder if there are more in the line up?

I wonder...

Do I...

Seal the honey?

Feed the babies?

Guard the nest?

Inspect bees as they arrive to the nest?

Build the honeycomb?

Collect nector?

Help the Queen?

Move the eggs?

Carry water

Move dead larvae?

Fan the hive?


Maybe I can be a soldier perhaps, guarding the hive from the attack of preditors!:D

[Jenny in Atl]

I like the idea of collecting nectar. To spend the day flying from flower to flower seems a good way to pass the day.

[PinkInTheBlue]

Is there any way the difference in in using Quick Reply versus the standard reply? I can't imagine it would be but who knows. I'm glad to not be visiting. :) I'll be a worker soon.

It's so much easier to read more and post more now, for me.

[Needleroozer]

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that your dh is depressed. That's a tough one. :( Hang in there LB!

Thanks, Julie. It is job-related, and he is really struggling. *But* he returned the call of a recruiter this morning, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that something amazing will come of it. He has never before worked so hard for so little, and it is taking its toll.

[Needleroozer]

I could fan the hive- with all the hot flashes I have, I am very skilled at fanning, lol. :D

[Classical Michele]

I'll get the hang of this soon! I think.

[GreenKitty]

Yes, that does sound nice.

Maybe the soldier bee would be too stressful for me.

[GreenKitty]

It that isn't enough...for those who'd like to know more...:rolleyes:

Did you know that male bees lead a life of leisure. They do no work and are fed by the worker bees. Their sole purpose is to mate with the queen and then....well....they die a peaceful death.

BTW worker bees do not mate :eek:

[sdWTMer]

Yippee!

:D

[Cadam]

I wonder what the top level is? Does going up have something to do with how many threads you start? or how many people reply to you? It doesn't seem to JUST be how many post you have made. Maybe Bob knows.

[momofkhm]

I want to be a worker bee! I wonder how many more I need.

[Janna]

Mine just switched over at the post I did before this one, which means it switched at 42 posts for me. I wonder why all the discrepancies?

[Janna]

I wonder who becomes The Queen Bee? (Is that Susan? By looking at her avatar? :))

Once you're the Queen Bee, does that mean at some point you die and aren't allowed on here anymore? LOL

[Mamagistra]

LOL Janna!

I wannabe a workerbee! ;)

[KIN]

I wanna be a worker bee too. :)

[ncmomo3]

I'll never (sob) be a worker bee...never,never,never!!!:( --boo hoo

[WTMindy]

Mine changed at 41 posts.

[shanmar]

I feel like I won't ever be a worker bee either! I feel like I am posting more than I ever have before, and I still have some measly little number of posts. That probably means I should just go be a real worker bee, and do my laundry or contact more vendors or update my website or....

[Kristafish]

I noticed today I became worker bee :D
I don't think I'm at 50 yet..

[Melissa in FL]

OK, this is such a silly string of posts! But now I have to post to see how many posts I have and now I'll have to watch and see when it changes to worker bee! Thanks for the laughs
Melissa

[GreenKitty]

I'm a Nurse Bee...

Is anyone sick that needs a nurse:D

:D

[Needleroozer]

Congratulations, Nurse Kitty!!
Did that happen at 100, then? I still wonder why people get bumped up at different numbers............. :rolleyes:

[Lolly]

Maybe we should learn how to give each other reputation and bump all of ours up????

[Karen in CO]

Wow - now I know what the next level is. I will be there some day. Right now my littlest is asking to get out of the tub apparently warm baths get cold while your worker bee mom is reading.

[Lolly]

figured it out! Click on the little scales above the post...

[Mom2jnb]

Good information to know Lolly thank you....I will click on your scale. :) ....that you click on the scale....i guess I kind of don't like to popularity contest feel to that though.....it is one of the MANY reasons my kids are home.....

oh well...

[Lolly]

I have a feeling it is one of those things that isn't going to be used. Probably a good thing. Exactly what could come of being a Popular Person???? A good reputation, if someone gives negative marks, does your reputation go backwards? The scientist in me is wanting to experiment...:D

[momtolgd]

I just changed to one at 43 posts.

[Lolly]

Gave you some good rep back. Thanks

[Queen_Zarga]

The sticky in the Sale and Swap board explains the reputations.

[Lolly]

OOhhhh! a sticky??? I'll have to go and figure that one out by just reading. Guess the experiments will have to hold off!

[gardenschooler]

So we're busy, slaving away, feeding a bunch of leisurely males that have their eye on the queen? ROFLOL.

[gardenschooler]

I'm a Nurse Bee...

Is anyone sick that needs a nurse:D

:D

Keep going and see what's next!

[Elisabeth in IL]

not too sure if I want to be a nurse bee though because I do enough nursing here at home. Really, I'm had enough snotty noses, coughing, fevers and throw up to last me a lifetime. The boards are here to take me away - - like Calgone. ;)

[WTMindy]

Oh man! Now I want to be a nurse. When will it stop?

[Chris in CA]

Shamelessly adding a post to get there sooner : )

[Liberty]

sorry

[Liberty]

but I have

[Liberty]

to do something

[Liberty]

to get out of

[Liberty]

my just visiting status

[Liberty]

so, how many licks does it take

[Liberty]

Whoopeee! I just found out!!

[Liberty]

I could continue on counting until I got to the subsequent levels, but would not want y'all to throw me off the boards


sorry, but also thanks for your patience

[GreenKitty]

Are their any other nurses, I'm feeling a bit bogged down...



:D

[jellybean]

I fear it will take me quite a while...I will be a worker forever!! LOL

[Rhonda in TX]

If you go to the Member List and sort by "posts", you will see that everyone with 41 post or more is at "Worker Bee" status (unless they're at an even higher level). I don't know why people are seeing discrepancies. Maybe there were and they fixed it.

[Tammyla]

It seems to be different numbers. Could it be some mix of posts to existing threads, and starting new ones?:confused:

I'm just happy not to be "Just Visiting" anymore. Funny how important these new labels are, when many of us go out of our way to avoid any type of one. LoL

[Audrey]

I wonder what the other "levels" will say? :)

[sdWTMer]

:D

[sdWTMer]

:eek:

[sdWTMer]

;)

[jellybean]

Did i become anything yet?

[Jodi-FL]

thanks for the laugh.

[Gwen in TX]

that there are 12 levels for people to reach. I read the message earlier, but can't find it now.

[Gwen in TX]

"There are 14 ranks. Queen Bee is on there, but it isn't the top.

You get to find out the rest as we go.

(Giggling quietly at home. Bear with me. I don't get to be silly all that often.)"
