Farm update... the Pluot will give a lot this year!

Whether in our communities or workplaces, we all have unique roles to play. The collective contributions of ‘many hands‘ create the success of an organization, our communities, and the world around us. Every role matters. Every individual counts.

I am sending this message of strength and power out to my new friend from Ukraine! 💪🏼

We will continue to fight for you and pressure, our government.

I watched "No Other Land" today. Truth: it should be required viewing for every American. Despite winning awards worldwide—including Best Documentary at the Academy Awards just days ago—major distributors in the U.S. are CENSORING it.
Make the time/effort. It’s worth it.

SHARING SUCCESS:

Bees understand this instinctively. I guarantee all three of my colonies are represented in the 10+ bees sharing this poppy—harmoniously gathering pollen from the same source. Fighting for the same resources would only slow them down. 🐝

PERSISTENCE:

Honeybees are not particularly drawn to avocado flowers.
Yet, I’ve noticed that my bees seem to love my avocado trees. Their determination is striking. I’ve watched them force their proboscis into tightly closed petals. They refuse to give up!

CHALLENGES AND ATTITUDE:

Success isn’t about avoiding obstacles—it’s about navigating them. And attitude makes all the difference. While challenges are inevitable, it’s how we carry them that matters.

TEAMWORK & LEADERSHIP:

As a creative leader, my first priority has always been to break down silos, foster open communication, and facilitate cross-pollination. Every contribution sparks another. There are no bad ideas—just the beginning of something better.

REJUVENATION:

Did you know that—despite their reputation for being constantly “busy”—bees take breaks and practice self-care? They groom themselves and each other, take cleansing flights to maintain hive hygiene, and even rest between foraging trips.

We were so excited to eat our first avocado of the season. It all starts with the Jim Bacon - ready in February! With our other varieties, we should be able to eat avocado through November! I was proud of Rhea since she never liked avocados, but tasted them today and loved them! They were amazing!

Awesome, Matt. I am limited here, so I have a bigger explanation on LinkedIn! I will try to make a big splash! Cheers and thanks!

This Saturday 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Exciting Project in the Works! 🐝✨

I’m thrilled to share a passion project that’s been buzzing in my mind for a while—and it’s finally turning into reality! A beautifully crafted coffee-table photo book about bees is coming soon.

This Saturday… hope to see you!

Well, some British hippies took the "Band of Friends" name a long time ago, so I went back to a name I used about 10 years back. We are now called The Tone Wheels!

Based in Santa Cruz / Santa Cruz Mountains/San Lorenzo Valley. We play blues, NOLA funk, Jump, Boogie, Memphis R/B, soul, and more!

Thank you, @brrrock.bsky.social was great to see you after something like 15 years!! 😊🎶🎶

Here are some pics of our pets to fill your feed!

I named this one "Buzz"

Make it happen!
(Even if you have to leverage AI) 🤣

I have a very very small audience here, but I need to put some posts on my feed so here goes my second one. 🤣

Israel’s war crimes and genocide are unacceptable 🥵
