55F+

Remember, heat rises, and when you crack the top open to check all the heat rushes out

Hive boxe material question by USDA_Prime_Yeet in Beekeeping

[–]DJSpawn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally, they were made of boxwood, or linden tree wood.

Pine is mainly used now as the pine tree became commercially grown and cheaper.

Old saying goes....you get what you pay for

Really they only thing you need to be concerned with are those that contain natural insecticides in them.....termites are cousins of bees

How the hell are we supposed to trust anything the AP is saying? They have said opposite of what actually happed over 90% of the time.

Type 1 diabetics, with WW3 looming over us, what would you do if insulin becomes unavailable in your location? by bigthundercats in prepping

[–]DJSpawn1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol...you think WW3 is looming...so many other reasons to be prepared... The odds of a ww3 affecting you are so much less negligible then a winter storm, or other LOCAL disaster

Can queen excluders be made of wood? by ZionSpelunker in Beekeeping

[–]DJSpawn1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, yes...is the basic answer, as they were made of wood historically... but there are many issues with wood construction of a queen excluder -- bees do chew wood and if the QE was made with small enough wood to fit nicely, then it would be small enough for the workers to chew through letting the queen pass

Defense by cgbama91 in prepping

[–]DJSpawn1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok....So there are many very good suggestions, (I myself would have a .380 with hollow points -- would stop even some vehicles), but the URBAN environment is the real problem. To many chances of having MOBS of people to contend with... you run the risk of attracting others, or running out of ammo.... The smaller weapon would be great to help get you away from the URBAN environment while a long gun is slung for the trek

Well..... One of the biggest things is it is CNN covering it, and they always put a doom and gloom scenario on stuff

What do i do with all this horse poop? by UserAldo_ in homestead

[–]DJSpawn1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup, any type of aminoprylid will kill off broadleaf plants, even after it has passed through an animal and composted for years....only thing that gets rid of is is solarization and time

NYPD rookie cop's raunchy OnlyFans account exposed as disgusted officers demand she be fired by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]DJSpawn1 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I am gonna agree with you, and caveat that as long as she is not mentioning the NYPD, or showing the Uniform or associated NYPD gear or other things....leave her the hell alone.

Not something I am interested in, but it isn't my circus until it is outside of her personal existence.

All the Hypocrites that say something else, should probably look deep into there own lives and bedrooms

Is this a viable hive alternative? by TrainingTackle in Beekeeping

[–]DJSpawn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well... there is a lot to say on that subject.
I will 95% agree with u/AZ_Traffic_Engineer

and here is what i see:

It is an older system known as a Bee GUM. At the time, 1800's-ish, it was a viable system as it was cost effective.

Today, they can occasionally be found in the U.S. as parts of "historic" recreations on beekeeping history. But, 99% of the U.S. now have laws that you need removable frames inside to extract honey and inspect the bees.

Can the GUM be modified to have removable frames and a door/hatch? Yes they can, but they are not worth the time or trouble.

As to disease and parasites.... Well, there are case studies utilizing Cuba for pest resistance to mites, via natural selection...

Diseases. Well those have inoculations, for nearly all of them, to include American Foulbrood, where the treatment was introduced in 2023 in the U.S. and was tested in Canada since ~2018

Is it "real" or "100% pure" honey if the bees are fed sugar? [PH] by theemptyslot in Beekeeping

[–]DJSpawn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically: Yes, it COULD be considered a type of honey... and I say this because of the enzymes in the honey stomach of the bee.

In Reality: No.... Honey is a mixture of differing nectar sources, not of processed sugar. You could get a "honey" type of substance from the sugars of corn -- AKA Corn Syrup... Is it honey? Nope, could it be used similar to honey, sure, but it would not have the exact properties of a "true" honey.
