  1. There's a lot of Testosterone flying around.
  2. Lots of volunteers so far thanks to everyone for the interest.
  3. Maybe the ones who smashed my window and stole my tools?
  4. Not.
  5. More news from the only democracy in the middle east: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/vaccine-israel-palestinian-palestine/2021/03/08/c43b6390-7fef-11eb-be22-32d331d87530_story.html?fbclid=IwAR2hfQo0q570AGSWGW6Aq5eBxrgLrwOZDGBZRzm4I91TVhUba52mdKoCHaQ And a rather horrible video:
  6. My bee?s survived the last winter. I didn?t expect them to, it was a weak colony to begin with and last October they hadn?t fully populated the hive. I was delighted when my daughter saw them flying three weeks ago and I have since done an inspection and the queen is laying already. When I brought them home and did an inspection last May the queen disappeared after one week. I don?t know why she disappeared but it sets you back six weeks at least. I had to feed them fondant, a mixture of pollen and honey, looks like marzipan, through out the winter and it?s paid off. The previous colony died of Nosema, a kind of bee dysentery: https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/animal-diseases/honey-bee-pests-and-diseases/nosema-disease-of-honey-bees#:~:text=Nosema%20is%20a%20serious%20disease,seen%20using%20a%20light%20microscope. I?ll try and get some pictures of the queen! So I?ll continue to feed them and may extract some honey later on in the season. Thanks for your interest.

  10. If you want to be morally pure you need to give up gas central heating, electricity, internet, mobile phones and go live in a cave and eat berries.

  11. We motorists are really nothing but cash cows to them
  12. What does MYN mean?
  13. More pics
  14. I am looking for someone to help with bee hive inspections maybe once a week or once a month. Or whatever suits. Full protective suits supplied. It's a fascinating hobby and if we get any honey that's a bonus. I have one hive now but intend to get another over the summer. PM me if interested social distancing to be observed.
  15. More horror from Palestine: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-women-farmers-bulldozers?fbclid=IwAR0ag5oM8zSH-_g2Lzp-4IueyrscseKBmyqZvPhKIT8dtgETQJE5-9kJHS4
  16. Last night in Kelmore Grove rear window smashed and tool wallet taken. Not much value to the thief but very important to me so if any one finds a black tool wallet please get in touch. Thanks.

Like many you seen Very selective in > your choice of criticism. I wonder why that is? You are quite right, those states are reprehensible. Their human rights violations are well documented and in the news, look at Burma last week and this week. The human rights violations of the state of Israel, the IDF and right wing settlers in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are often ignored or just glanced over. Hope that answers your question.
