I placed my first Beehive next to my electrical meter. I didn't do it on purpose, it just worked out that way.

Our "meter reader" wasn't happy about that so they used it as an excuse to put in a NEW "Smart Meter".

My next electric bill was 20% higher than normal. I complained and they said "The new meter was more accurate."

20% more accurate? Seriously? I should have just moved my hives.

Keep the old meters till they FORCE you to change.
