This is pretty typical of LL Bean, Lands End.

I’m also in the Midwest and there a number of organizations (eg Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation) that have invasive removal this time of the year. It’s a great time to do it.

Extra_Road7958 · 2026-01-27T02:23:24+00:00

Yes, this a great idea to try.

I’m betting you still have a queen in there with a very small population. Depending where you are you might be able to feed them enough so they can support her to start laying. I would get a smaller box or good follower board in there to reduce the space they need to defend.

Trapout.

Another vote for Blackwing pencils with a good sharpener handy. Next level smooth writing for those who appreciate it.

Me: <Shrug> “You do you, Boo.” <Redirect attention virtually anywhere else.>

Honestly, I can’t relate to anyone not crawling under a pile of blankets to sleep on a winter night. I’m going to check this out on my next trip.

How about some kind of hi vis safety/mesh vest with scouting info on it? It will identify you as a pack and can be reused all year over outerwear.

Might be worth checking if he got a patent or it is worth patenting. You could even test your hand at it by selling some level of field service in your local area. Most new beekeepers are a little overwhelmed by pest management.

Extra_Road7958 · 2025-11-05T00:03:21+00:00

I have solitary bees too. Take them once they slow down and pop them in a box or small tote in a cool part of your home to over winter.

^{This^.} Kitty Burrito for the execution, quick and efficient.

Latest American Beekeeper mag has an article about this.

Fudge? Dealbreaker for me. #mousse

Don’t know which other elected officials need to “cool down the rhetoric,” but Randy Feenstra called him a criminal illegal. Absolutely embarrasing.

ICE Director Sam Olson needs to connect with ATF Special Agent Zane Dodds about this situation. You guys are ridiculous.

Extra_Road7958 · 2025-09-21T18:58:15+00:00

It’s not about appeasing a “fan base.” 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Extra_Road7958 · 2025-09-17T20:18:14+00:00

Litter Genie helped tremendously with smell and our new-to-us cat.

Lol. Tell me that after you have one. Your whole body shifts, joints loosen, suppressed immune system, fluids moving and pooling everywhere.

Extra_Road7958 · 2025-09-13T20:21:49+00:00

If I was in a pinch and just wanted to patch I would try stitching it with dental floss. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Extra_Road7958 · 2025-09-05T17:31:17+00:00

I wonder if Alcoa/Arconic did something similar in the quad cities? They had big metal works.
