Geocache Description:

This is a simple puzzle dedicated to officer-dibble, to say thank you for all his help with completing my 366-day streak! I'm not finished just yet but am very close, and I'm hoping for this cache to be published on Fathers' Day. The theme of the puzzle is the honey bee, as officer-dibble enjoys their company very much (apart from when they get up his trouser leg).


To find the cache, which is a small clip lock box secured with magnets, you need to answer the following two questions, and then add the answers to the listed co-ordinates to find the final location. If your answer were 123, you would add 0.123 to the co-ords.

Question 1: There are 7 species of honey bee - how many subspecies are there? Subtract 1 from the answer and add to the northing.

Question 2: On which day in the lifecycle of a honey bee does the bee weigh 3.4mg? Multiply the answer by 11 and add this to the easting.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

I would avoid Ground Zero around the beginning and end of the school day.

Well done to mercier27 and 1Littletigger for FTF!
