Bee-keeping

Followers

December 9, 20241 yr

Hi, as an experienced UK beekeeper, I'd be wary of the freeflow-type hives. There's too many ways for bees to gum them up. Do a bit of research on propolis.

Just get a normal hanging-frame hive, like the ones in the pictures above in this thread. They've worked for hundreds of years and will continue to do so. Besides, if freeflow-type hives were all they meant to be then commercial beekeepers would adopt them because commercial beekeepers are all about speed and simplicity, with them often having hundreds of hives to maintain - but they don't.

...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

Apaches and A10s blasting Iran assets at Hormuz

3NUMBAS · 12 hours ago12 hr

“The U.S. and its allies have intensified the battle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, sending low-flying attack jets over the sea lanes to blast Iranian naval vessels and Apache helicopters to shoot down Iran’s deadly drones, American military officials said. The stepped-up operation is part of a multistage Pentagon plan to reduce the danger from Iranian armed boats, mines and cruise missiles, which have halted ship traffic through the waterway since early March. If the danger can be reduced, the

As I said before, Europe is like a kid that sullenly refuses to take the garbage out, whinges and mouths off, then after you tell him off he does it. Trump is mean! Biggest evil ever! Crass! OK, please dont be mad at us, we will do it.

Trump's War of choice is hurting billions around the world

spidermike007 · 2 hours ago2 hr

It seems like there's barely any place on earth that is escaping the ramifications of Trump's War of choice on Iran. The whole world is paying a price and the less affluent seem to be the most heavily burdened. As if their lives weren't difficult enough already. Do the billionaires like Trump care even one iota for the common man on any level? Was the economic well-being of the planet taken into account for even 5 minutes when they were planning this ridiculous and highly unpredictable war? Now

Different day, same regime terror threats,but Globally News

riclag · 25 minutes ago25 min

Different day, same regime terror threats but globally . Iran's military brass is now openly vowing to hit tourist spots, parks, and recreational areas anywhere in the world,straight out of the same terror playbook they've run since 1979. From hostage taking in 1979 to proxies slaughtering civilians on 10/7, to now threatening spring break tourists globally, it's the identical Iranian regime terror formula, unchanged for 47 years. Iran makes chilling threat to target tourist sites worldwide —

Pros and Cons of Screen Obsession Culture in Thailand

123Stodg · 21 hours ago21 hr

For a long time I have thought about the ways Thailand has changed since the rise of smartphones, back when people were not constantly nose diving into their screens. When I first arrived, smartphones did not even exist. My first phone was a big clunky Nokia with a black and white screen and a bendy retractable antenna. Then came the race to make phones smaller, with those tiny little Motorola flip phones everywhere. Nokia and Ericsson were still popular, although not quite as compact. Then the

Kill or be killed, that is the question

unblocktheplanet · yesterday at 06:59 AM1 day

Death is always untimely. All of us have had the experience of losing people. Family, loved ones, partners, lovers, friends, colleagues. Accidents, disease, suicide, even murder. Every single one of them leaves a hole in our personal universe. Our world will never be the same, a jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing. The picture will never be the same again. Think about the grief of those families whose sons were killed in wars. Sometimes those devastated families who even encouraged their s
