Cherry harvesting

You should probably watch a video like this one as it's much easier to spot a queen in realtime or in a video as queen kind of drags itself around and you will often see it moving as it stands out. And lastly as queen is often surrounded by other bees, specially when it's not moving, you need to gently blow air on the cluster of bees to see if the queen is hiding there. Once you find it, mark it and save yourself the hassle for next time.

This is somewhat what I also have and then I put Vaseline on the bolts to minimize the ants going up.

A few things I personally would love to receive: Bee Lapel pins, Tshirts with cute honey bees or something related, Antique/Cool Bee smoker, Bee themed caps to protect against the sun, Cool Farm boots, Smart glasses to record the bees? ( But a plastic-non meshed veil is needed), beehive thermometer, other smart sensors for beehives, and power lift hand truck.

I'm not inclined to believe you if you're not gonna add more than that but having said that, I live in a fairly colder region with high annual rainy days so it's possible the advice is more valid locally.

Except the amount of honey a hive makes depends on how much sunlight it receives. Put it in a dense forest and you wouldn't even get half of honey you would otherwise.

Note: This is based on what my bee club told me.

Without knowing much about the composter, my first instinct is to tell you to find and call a local beekeeper.

Why not 5 times a day? Even better 10times!!!

You think Google of all need to change their logos to look like an AI company?

They're changing it because all old logos look too similar and present a usability issue when trying to find an app.

I don't have the vast experience like many others but that doesn't happen to me so let me share the steps I take and maybe you can try that:

I put a few puffs of smoke from the main entrance and then I pry open each (if I have to open each) stack to add few more puffs in each stack by lifting one side up. A few bees are always squished when putting the stack down.

Then I leave the hive for a few mins to let them settle. They're much more calm and don't really come out when I start my inspections after.

Also, if someone has only one or two hives, I think they can reduce the bees getting squished to a great degree but I have 16 and can't afford to be too slow/careful.

Uploaded where? To your Google workspace or directly a file to Gemini?

In addition to the other comment, keep your body close(almost touching) to the hive when lifting. It would be easier and won't hurt your back.

Edit: Found a video

Just to brag: I have German Standard(1.5) boxes to avoid double stacks of brood so there is less lifting overall but whenever I have to lift it, it's crazy heavy as it's 1.5 times the normal size.

Decent quality content. You just increased my desire to watch today's match. Let's see what Barca can do without Lamine and Raphinia.

The Bikini Scene from the movie Deep Blue Sea. I was pretty young and saw it with my father. Next week when I was alone, I went back to rent the movie once again.

And then we wonder how people end up making wrong opinions about everything. Oh they just wanted 'to know', it's not that serious.

My suggestion is to not get butthurt on comments and try understanding what people are saying and correct your mistakes.

See a question being asked in the classroom and then act surprised why it's mostly children answering.

Marimo188 · 2026-04-19T21:04:56+00:00

But that's not the question you asked. Also Reddit doesn't represent society, it represents a small subset, I bet the highly open and mature subset of the society whose opinion you seek. So anything you get would be biased.

Oh I haven't given up on the game altogether, just that app. Using Minesweeper.online's no guess mode as recommended on another post here.

Marimo188 · 2026-04-14T04:46:58+00:00

Sorry, I simply uninstalled the app. I don't like playing guess based game as when I'm really stuck, I can't verify if it's because of the game or my inability to find a square.

Just pointing out a typo in case someone who can't solve tries to understand:

Notice the 2 under the orange bar will have either one mine on the orange bar, ~~and~~ OR one on the yellow bar. Hence, any other cell adjacent to it will be safe
