Hair needs maintenance = time-waster.

Or another saying: When wisdom grows, hair needs to go, there's not enough room for both.

Keep telling yourself that.

well checked my hives a few days ago, Bad winter here, lost quite a few hives, guess this years plan is to split, split and split.

Wash, let air dry. Pull back into ponytail. Five minutes. Worth it to keep my head warm and unsunburned.

Did you go through the deadouts and find out why they didnt make it?

I think the Knights Templar are selling some armor.

The issue with that armor is, that it will make a »ping« sound for every attempted sting…

Rinse, then polish with shower-cloth, 30 seconds. Also distracts birds of prey by reflecting the sun's light…

Got down to 17°F during the night. It's 19°F now. The plant looks fine this morning.

Made a split the easy way to day. Was going to do it Tuesday but the crew decided to do it on their own around 2:30. Went to a bait hive I had set up with QTips dipped in lemon grass oil a hundred yds out in anticipation of swarming a few days ago and they went for it.
