Trevor hasn't flat out said I'm "the boss," but he's on a dozen occasions encouraged me to flat out tell Greg that we're doing things the way _I_ say, so in effect I guess that's kind of the same thing.
And I feel like you're right, and I really should put my foot down and devil be damned if he walks right off the field. Which, as I said, I'm pretty sure he would NOT do something I said no matter how much I insisted. With the scraper situation he just didn't give me the scraper until hours later -- I'm pretty sure he would do his best to physically block me from performing any said disputed actions and/or go ahead and do them himself no matter what I said.
Even invoking Trevor's name as in "Trevor said we need to do X" has zero effect on him, I mean, he even argued adamantly with Trevor in person. He's... really intractable d:
Trevor informed me today, with a twinkle in his eye, that I should tell Greg that he (Trevor) ranted and raved and went absolutely batshit over the half full frames. I started today by telling Greg that Trevor had said we are absolutely only to pull frames that are 75% full or better, but that had no effect on his frame pulling. Next time I work with him (which with luck might not be till Tues) maybe I'll try to specify that very specifically 75% of the frame needs to be capped over -- that way he can't try to claim that though none of it is capped every cell is 75% full or some shit.
Oh and as to what he was doing when he was an apprentice beekeeper ... I'm pretty sure he never was. I don't think he's ever worked for anyone else, or else he'd have certainly been "educated" by whomever he worked for before.
Thanks again for your comment! I really appreciate such a thought out response (:
