A placebo with special effects during administration. Still effective, just not how some people expected.

In a sense it very much is news. This speaks to something that people have recently been speculating about, namely: Has Gaetz pissed off enough Republicans that they will start dumping their dirt on him to thoroughly assasinate his character? The publication of this article is essentially a giant "YES" to that question of what the "moderate" Republicans are going to do in the midst of this new Speaker crisis.

Yes, but that led to my absolute favorite joke in Moby-Dick: the fart joke in chapter 1. (It's important to remember that the "Pythagorean Theorem" is A²+B²=C², but the "Pythagorean maxim" is 'Don't eat beans.')

"For as in this world, head winds are far more prevalent than winds from astern (that is, if you never violate the Pythagorean maxim), so for the most part the Commodore on the quarter-deck gets his atmosphere at second hand from the sailors on the forecastle."

What beauties! I was too slow this year and didn't establish a bed. Next year!

That was the whole point of the "Q"! In fact, we could ditch the LGBT and just stick with a fully inclusive "Queer".

Barbarians. The world must treat them like it and shame them and their children until this stops.

It absolutely is. I live near the Berkshires, and just harvested about 20 pounds of them from a local tree. Dinner last night was excellent!

Thank you for linking that. The anthem absolutely slaps. Now I wish I was Tuvan. Or, at the very least, I wish the Russian Federation would collapse so Tuva can participate in the Olympics under their own flag, and then I will cheer for them so I can hear this anthem.

You have linked directly to an image of a Ukrainian stomping on a swastika flag. You are not making the point you think you're making.

I've been playing little bits of Aven Colony, a straightforward and fun space-colony-themed city manager. However, mostly I've been watching my wife play Baldur's Gate 3 and thinking "We should really buy another beefy gaming PC before Starfield launches so we can both play games simultaneously... "

Black & White 3. Just more Black & White, slightly updated and improved since technology is better, but it doesn't have to be much better. Just a little bit. But basically more of the same.

 

What do folks make of this news? I know a lot of U.S. (and some Canadian) beekeepers have really enjoyed the Hive Life conference in the past.

 

This article has been circulating for a while, summarizing the latest BIP data on colony losses. Thought this forum might allow some beekeeper discussion of it. Do we think this annual "doom and gloom" reporting on BIP's colony loss survey data is useful, or does it sow pointless confusion among non-beekeepers?

 

Or do you hope to keep bees? Or just think bees are neat?

 

This article was published recently and it seems like the method described could be useful or may just interrupt broodrearing so much that a colony wouldn't ever be able to thrive after being subjected to it. Who has tried any queen caging method like this before? Did it work for you?
