🐝 Sweet Harmony Apiaries 🐝

Hi, Bert!!!

That's how many people use them, but not in the case of VSH bees. VSH bees actively uncap cells with fertile mites in them, thereby breaking the mite's reproduction cycle. All these drones are living a happy life and spreading good genetics to the queens in the area.

Here's a foundationless double deep frame I had a few years ago. The bottom third is all drone cells. Several frames in the hive were like this.

I meant to say "drone brood" but I think folks understood that, just wanted to be clear.

I find with foundationless they tend to draw tons of brood cells. Maybe it's because of the time of season they draw it out...

Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) is an additive genetic trait. You can increase it by flooding drone congregation areas (DCAs) with drones that come from colonies that are already mite resistant. This spreads the trait to new queens and improves the local population's mite resistance abilities.

The fact that I have over a million "mistresses," honey bottling equipment in the kitchen, wood everywhere, and the fact that there's a bee tree section in our back yard, to name a few...

"You see it!"

I call that being well and truly catted.

If I'm seeing freshly laid eggs, it may not be too late. Otherwise, get that queen and do a walk-away split if you want to keep her.

The conservative water toters are going to have a field day with this.

How do you increase the VSH trait in the local gene pool? Like this:

Bitcoin is the digital gold reserve. More and more nations are adopting it to get out from under the oppression of the dollar and the sanctions that come with it. This is the beginning of the end of the dollar, IMHO.

High end restaurants for a group party, perhaps?

They can memorize faces, you know...

As my mentor would say,

"WARNING! Some bees resist this procedure!"

Something I intentionally planted?

Good times.

The military would likely only be called in to quell mass riots. They'd follow orders. Some may balk, but the ramifications may be too great, and the number of those who balk would likely be inconsequential. There's always someone willing to step up.

He already has it in the military and police forces. Think of the police as an actively deployed branch of the military that already has the appropriate mental conditioning to enforce whatever the POTUS asks.

Ever listened to Rachael Maddow's Ultra podcast? Very enlightening.

What do you do in this situation when you really have to pee, but the cat rarely does this?

We're on the same page. The fact that the stock market has lost $11.1 Trillion since January 17th isn't even enough to phase them. They're calling it a "correction." That's some top notch mental conditioning. Ya gotta give it to FNC, Newsmax, and talk radio on that front.

Until it affects them in a real and personal way, they will not waiver.

He's saying "gurl, you need to exfoliate!" 🤣

It's always a good time to eat Peeps at one's desk.

This was awesome! Great job!

Yeah, when I say it, I mean it, because it shows the listener is actually engaged and thinking critically.

"The South will rise again."

A civil war is where people fight for two different groups of oligarchs. A revolution is where people fight for themselves.
