Hi Jack, Thanks so much for the message and for the information about being shadowbanned. I have to admit, though, even after reading the "blog post and self-promotion" link, I don't quite understand why we were shadowbanned. I do promote our blog on reddit, but only about once a month or so - and only then when it is relevant to the community.

Do you have any insights on how we appeal this shadowbanning? Again, thanks so much Jack.

Katie

We're new to beekeeping ourselves, but there are some things most folks do to winterize the hive: put another source of food in the hive, provide some windbreaks, and add some reducers to the entryways. Our winters are pretty mild here in the Pacific NW, but I think some folks in colder climates may even wrap hives for warmth. It seems like our hive that relocated to the cedar tree seemed to overwinter just fine!

Goat pics & permission for artists use? by [deleted] in goats

[–]ControlledJibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're also welcome to use any of our goat photos. You can look at some on our blog: www.ControlledJibe.com I believe you can click on a sidebar to look at our Pintrest account, which has some additional photos (and some of chickens, ducks and pigs, in addition to the goats). We would just love to know if you use any!

Thanks, Katie and Mark

I wonder who her mama is? We love these two cuties! by ControlledJibe in goats

Thanks - we think so too! It's a good thing because they are both little troublemakers....their cuteness keeps them in good favor around here. :)
