There's exactly one pigeon small enough and coordinated enough to eat from the platform feeder, although it does have to flap constantly to avoid plummeting to the ground. It also happens to be a gorgeous fancy throwback with white wings.

Mystery cleared up.
We've only had a toaster oven for decades. I want visualizing "round side down" at all.
I find the toasted cheese falls off with those vertical pop-ups. 😀
I think im done growing this habanero. Too spicy, too big, drying too fast, edema, and leaf drop.
Growing this habanero was fun, but i think its time to cut it down and grow something else. Its almost 4 months old and i got about 40 peppers from it. I have an aji pinea…

I plan on sousing this ribeye here in the next couple days, but I was wondering if I should take it out of the vacuum bag, clean it up a little bit and then reseal it before I cook it? I bought a bone in ribeye roast from Fred Meyer‘s last week. The ribeye look [...]

One week into the astronomical winter, we're having an Orange Watch for snow squall (total snow fall amount approaching 25 cm), a Yellow Warning for rainfall (total rain and freezing rain amount of 30-60 mm), and a Special Weather Statement for strong winds (wind gusts of 70-80 km/h). The Yellow Warning is for today. The rest is for tomorrow. Fun.

Again please #repost / #share.
The more informed more folks are the better for bees.

in reply to The Bee Guy • • •And they do need better from us!
Spoiler alert!
Bumbles - new queens in hibernation.
Solitaries - kids in cocoons.
Honeys - small ball of hot hive-bound bees.
So let’s start with honey #bees and get them out of the way as you know they’re not really our thing here.

in reply to The Bee Guy • • •As temperatures drop (below 50ºF) they form a cluster (ball of #bees) in the #hive in order to use body heat primarily to keep the queen alive. This cluster will have a densely…

in reply to The Bee Guy • • •…around 6 weeks during the summer to up to 6 months over #winter due mainly to the lower work load. Male honey bees don’t do winter - dying off before the colony retreat to the hive! In warmer climes the colony works all year round.
Next up we have the solitary #bees.

And finally to the big girls of the bee world - the bumbles.
Towards the end of summer #bumblebee nests come to a natural end - the males, female workers and old queen die leaving just the new queens alive. These queens feed up and go into…

In the UK and Ireland we are now increasingly seeing ‘winter active’ #bumblebees specifically Buff-tailed bumbles.

Thread is a generalisation and there are variances between species and regions.

in reply to The Bee Guy • • •In a world that appears ever more divided, ever more angry, ever more willing to embrace the obvious annihilistic option we refuse to give up on the premise that most #people are #decent. That most people #care deeply.
Maybe we can #unite over #bees.
Do the right thing for once.
Make the good choice.
Maybe?
Please share this thread far and wide.

We know you care.
Show us.
Show one another.
Show the bees you care.
It’s okay to care.
It’s more fulfilling than hate.

More infectious than Covid.
More godly than prayer.
More active than hope.
More powerful than greed.
Don’t be afraid to care.
Deeply.
You’ll find you’re not alone.
Promise.
Thanks for your time.
I’ll shut up now…
