New 5-frame nuc picked up & installed yesterday. We've also relocated the location of the colony/hive to the garden area where it is easier to get to & it is warmer in the winter. Now I'm going to research & learn all about treating for mites. #beekeeping#beginner#bees 🐝🐝🐝
@SandHillThicket We have (remarkably) not had to manage any issues with Varrhoa here, though we have pre-emptively treated some hives with Apivar in the past. That said, I think our feral bees are far more resistant to Varrhoa than Italians.
Happy Guilted Into Buy Flowers-And-Chocolate Day, And Maybe Stand In An Endless Line For A Horribly Crowded Brunch Day for those that celebrate!
(hint: if you truly want to celebrate your mother, do what we always did for my mom, and do the buffet the week BEFORE or the week AFTER, when the buffet is better and you don't have crowds; I also used to go to the chocolate/flower stores the DAY AFTER and had gotten flowers for 90% off and chocolates for 50-75% off... 😉
does not apply to those who are radical conformists, where Mother's Day is intentional conspicous consumption and demonstrative conformity to the norm.
@mjf_pro Interesting, didn't know Dallas had a shortage of good bagels! I think here in the Los Angeles area, there is such a large NY-LA crossover in population we don't have that issue. (I do remember growing up in Utah where bagels were for the longest time "white bread in bagel shape")
@MsMerope LOL Normally Godiva is horrendously expensive, but in years past they definitely dump out their Mother's Day selections at 80-90% off, making it a bargain. (one day difference, HUGE discount).
Well, on the plus side, all the vast number of pages of AI slop you search for on topics nowadays sound the same. So you can quickly move on to a page written by humans.
