I just caught a swarm! Effing nuts for February. youtube.com/shorts/yTsBU...

I love these old Buddhist stories of enlightenment. They’re always like:
A monk asked his master, “Master, what is enlightenment?”
The master then farted.
The monk bowed deeply.

2008 Prius with green honey supers

Prius with green honey supers

Odometer of my “new to me” Prius.

Can’t figure out the problem with my van Barry, so she’s on hiatus.

I’m officially that douchy beekeeper who drives a Prius. Her name is Heidi. A 2008 with low miles, almost old enough to drink. I just hit 30,000 miles on her. I hope she lasts a while. I now know she holds at least 12 honey supers

Well you created it, so…

Syrup in queue! #beekeeping

Mixing up pollen substitute

Tote full of sugar bags

Mixing up some nutrition for the bees today. Global pollen with Apis Biologix, and some 1:1 syrup since it’s in the 70’s every day this next week. Found these totes for $20 at Home Depot and they perfectly fit 10 25lb bags of sugar, so I’m stoked about it.
Happy bee’ing! #beekeeping

Boxes are together! Still need about 15 more nucs for 2026, but these should buy some time. Lots of painting to do.
Happy bee’ing 🐝

Time to grab’em by the booboo #beekeeping

Bottom board that still needs to be glued and stapled. Then on to paint and screen.

Bottom board cuts are done! Tomorrow I glue and staple. Then on to paint and screens. #beekeeping

Here we go! Bottom boards are in progress. #beekeeping

Old school! They were a crazy band. I remember you playing this and jamming it with you a lot in the 4 Runner! Or maybe the Old Blue the pickup too. Haha!

Snow day for us!

They need to just own the fact that they are nazis.
I look up to you, Jake, even though you’re younger than me. I have a lot of respect for you. Even though you give us some bad news, when I hear it from you it gives me hope. Because you are a badass American. You aren’t some guy on the fringes.

Nobody in America is safe. If Trump’s secret police force will execute a government employed VA nurse on camera for us all to see and then lie about it, then they won’t hesitate to kill you next and lie about you.

This is fascism. They are Nazis.

Fucking sucks. What s cool dude Alex was. I’ll never have his courage and conviction. He is an American to make us proud.

I am afraid aka a chickenshit bastard. Just one look at me, it’s pretty clear that I am a “libtard” and we are moving towards McCarthyism. I can’t take the risk of not being here for my wife and our family. I don’t know what to do.

What is going on right now in my country that I am very proud of is unprecedented. I’ve always considered myself a patriot. Can’t believe this. I do attend peaceful protests. I do donate to those I believe will help and I vote for the same. I feel lost. Can’t believe the insanity.

As a beekeeper who relies on bees to make ends meet, it can be tough for me to bring up politics. My field is mostly dominated by “good ole boys” who have a different worldview than me. I used to be able to get along just fine with these folks. I am from South Texas. This is all very hard for me.

Everything is covered in ice 🥶

I don’t think I’ll be working outside today 🤦🏻‍♂️

Mine were pretty pissed off yesterday when I got to them. All of the foragers were home and they were like naw!

Reflectix double bubble insulation for bee hive lids

My wife wearing a Kakashi shirt. CHIDORI!!!

Cutting Reflectix for the hives before this winter storm hits. Very grateful for my wife’s help. She got a little mad at me for calling her a nerd for wearing her #Kakashi t-shirt!

I wish I could be holdin’ that cat! :)

Honey bee plastic mini mating nucs

I had never owned mini mating nucs like these before. My wife and I agreed that they’re super cute. They look like Fisher Price toys. #bees #hachi

Van full of bee equipment

Special Agent Fox Mulder

Barry the Sienna van is loaded with #bee stuff! Many more loads to go before the season kicks off! Gonna need to grow a pair this year. Failure is not an option.

$14k really isn’t much these days. Maybe they accidentally left off a zero or two? 😂

YouTube video by DarkMatter2525 At War with Ourselves

It’s all bad news, but for some reason when I hear it from DarkMatter2525, it gives me hope. He just has the ability to put things into words in a way that I am not capable of.

Blame it on the Rain aka Biden (Trump cover version)

He really crapped the bed on this. He should have just kept his mouth shut.

Apparently he entered with a sieg heil, yet expected nice treatment.

That blonde lady looks terrified
