Carl Sagan wrote a book, The Demon Haunted World, which is all about why people get sucked into nonsense like ancient aliens, and how to deal with it.

A placebo with special effects during administration. Still effective, just not how some people expected.

Y chromosomes have very little information on them, and the DNA there is pretty highly conserved. You're not really keeping any secrets by hiding your Y chromosome away.

In a sense it very much is news. This speaks to something that people have recently been speculating about, namely: Has Gaetz pissed off enough Republicans that they will start dumping their dirt on him to thoroughly assasinate his character? The publication of this article is essentially a giant "YES" to that question of what the "moderate" Republicans are going to do in the midst of this new Speaker crisis.

What beauties! I was too slow this year and didn't establish a bed. Next year!

Gesundheit.

Or, if you prefer: "Yahweh bless you."

How will this plan affect my real estate taxes?

Let's see if I just succeeded in attaching a photo I took of some of his specimens...

Mid 30s, USA. I'm smart (Ivy League science doctorate) but I can't drive a standard transmission because my dad "couldn't teach me" because I "wouldn't learn right". It was just me asking him questions like "What does the inside of the clutch actually look like? " and him yelling "That doesn't matter, just ease out on the clutch while giving it some gas!" Apparently I can be taught a lot, but not how to drive a standard.

Weirdly, my engineer friend let me drive his standard transmission car once after giving me some basic instructions and I did okay going up and down the road alone, but that was just one day and I fear I've forgotten everything. But I must be mistakenly remembering that, because according to my father I "can't be taught!"

That was the whole point of the "Q"! In fact, we could ditch the LGBT and just stick with a fully inclusive "Queer".

Barbarians. The world must treat them like it and shame them and their children until this stops.

 

What do folks make of this news? I know a lot of U.S. (and some Canadian) beekeepers have really enjoyed the Hive Life conference in the past.

 

This article has been circulating for a while, summarizing the latest BIP data on colony losses. Thought this forum might allow some beekeeper discussion of it. Do we think this annual "doom and gloom" reporting on BIP's colony loss survey data is useful, or does it sow pointless confusion among non-beekeepers?

 

Or do you hope to keep bees? Or just think bees are neat?

 

This article was published recently and it seems like the method described could be useful or may just interrupt broodrearing so much that a colony wouldn't ever be able to thrive after being subjected to it. Who has tried any queen caging method like this before? Did it work for you?
