Happy Friday. This week went fast

April 26, 2024: For those who have been My good and faithful servants, expect a breakthrough of epic proportions. Some of you have waited for this time for more than a decade, and the time is now for you to move forward in greater freedom than you have known. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened

Lol, that was me.

Funny thing is my dad started round bailing the hay after I graduated college. He also got a riding mower about the same time.

We never had HVAC when I was a kid, we burned coal and wood. I cut, carried, and stacked a lot of wood and hauled a lot of coal as a kid. I went away to college, Dad put in HVCA.

When they do swarm, add a couple zeros to that number.

One summer our hive got too hot and the bees swarmed for 2 days. A mechanism to cool down the hive. An apiarist came out and estimated there were a few million bees in the air. You couldn't hear anything, like being in Neyland.

Then when they were satisfied and we added a new level to the hive they went back in.

Use slatted racks on the bottom board and screened inner covers, it really helps with bearding and such.

Each hive is 50-100k. You get a bunch of hives together and you got a lot of bees. But my dad got out of that a decade ago.

Honeybees were never really in threat. There's more honeybees today than ever iirc. Native bees and pollinators are plummeting though. That's what "Save The Bees" is about. There's hundreds to thousands of native bee species and population number have been dropping nationwide.

Edit: A lot of people dont realize that honeybees are not native to the New World.

Yeah, honeybees are not native to North America, they are European. The only real problem with bees today is varroa mites, they will kill a hive in two years if left uncontrolled.

They are, they just don't pollinate a lot of native plant species. We have native plants that coevolved with specific insects for pollination and honeybees don't or sometimes physically cannot pollinate those species.

Honeybees are great for domestic vegetable and fruit flowers though.

Honeybees pollenate a lot more than what most people think of as vegetables and fruit. They start bringing in tree pollen sometimes in late January. In the mid-summer dearth I have seen them working feed corn.

So he wasn't good enough to play LT at bama so he played RT because they wanted their best 5 guys on the line? And you take him #7 with plans to move him to LT? Sounds about right for the titans.

To be fair, when he got to bama, Evan Neal was the LT. But yes I have my worries about this :(
