I'm not sure if there's a perfect time to move bees to a totally different location miles away, but it is what I am considering due to the fact that I have some feral Florida bees in my backyard which are a bit on the hot side. It is a top bar hive and they are a STRONG bunch. (yes, I know I could re-queen, but I don't really want to. I want to keep their survival traits going, but away from my kids and neighbors out on a friend's farm)
However, my concern is this:
It is springtime and I can tell the hive is going through some changes/preparations.
My main evidence of this is that there are many drones taking orientation flights.
By moving the hive, would this fully interrupt any preparations they are making to reproduce/swarm, etc?
Some of you would probably welcome such an interruption, but I would like to know all the possible repercussions before I make such a drastic move.
And, on top of everything else, I was considering doing a split with the hive based on what I find inside over the next week. Of course, I would have to find stores of honey and plenty of swarm cells and/or eggs/brood.
In Florida, these hives expand quickly, especially during this time of year, and this hive is rather on the small side, so a split is probably in order, regardless if I move it or not.

Full Year 2013 - Julie Ewart
Surgeon General Tastes Healthy Schools' Recipe in Chicago
By: Julie Ewart , Director of Communications and Outreach for the Great Lakes Region of the U.S. Department of Education
Everyone wants healthy school environments, but limited funding, space and time can challenge robust plans. The Healthy Schools Campaign has helped some Chicago schools build innovative partnerships and strong parental support to work around those issues, and U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, MD, got a taste of the results during a recent visit to Chicago's Nathanael Greene Elementary School.

Donations needed to keep meals for the homeless rolling out from Montville Twp.
Anna Landgrebe knows all too well the changing face of the homeless, for she has been delivering food weekly to this segment of the population for nearly 20 years.
Landgrebe, a Montville Township resident, used to see only adults, now she sees families in the mix. She recalled one little girl in particular. The 4-year-old child's family looked like any family one would see in Montville and not, as Landgrebe said, "what you think of as homeless."
Landgrebe was struck by how quickly the family's appearance changed over the course of several weeks, looking more "rundown and dirty."
She said, "It was heartbreaking having a child ask me for hot chocolate and a burger. This shouldn't exist in our country."
Hot chocolate and cheeseburgers are what Landgrebe, her husband, Mark, and their 13-year-old son bring to the homeless each week, along with noodle soup and water. The Landgrebes and Mark's secretary pack up the 17-passenger bus that has been converted to a kitchenette on wheels with limited seating and head to Manhattan. There, they make two stops, on Fifth Avenue and at the Sony Building, also on the tony Upper East Side. Meals are handed out to about 150 people each week.
Landgrebe said they see families, those struggling with addiction, illegal immigrants, people who lost their jobs and have no place to go, and people with emotional problems.
"We have everything and we don't discriminate. We are there to feed people," she said.
The Landgrebes' operation is called HomelessBus, Inc. and it would never have come into existence if not for an Anthony Robbins seminar that Mark attended in 1992 in Hawaii. He heard about a program that helped needy families and it prompted him into action.
At first, Mark delivered food only on holidays, but he quickly realized that people have to live every day. Lacking the funds to provide daily assistance, Mark settled on Saturday night deliveries.
"I think when he did it for the first time, he was touched by seeing how much need is out there. People sleeping in boxes, it was heartbreaking seeing people living under those conditions," said Landgrebe.
Landgrebe married Mark three years into the weekly trips. The Miami native said when she started dating Mark, he told her all about it and she thought he was a lunatic and could not believe it. However, once she accompanied him and saw it for herself, she said, "I knew right then that he was the man in my life."
The amount of need is growing to the point it is difficult for the Landgrebes to cope with alleviating for one night even a small percentage of it. Fortunately, there are those who have reached out to HomelessBus along the way.
For the past three years, a friend, Sam Mathews, who owns the Hibernia Diner in Rockaway Township, with his brother, George, has donated 150 cheeseburgers every Saturday. Before that, the Landgrebes purchased burgers from McDonald's, which was getting to be a big expense.
Girl Scouts have given donations and friends have baked to provide sweets to go with the meals. Even with some help, much of the expense and work is shouldered by the Landgrebes, who have to come up with creative solutions. Over the Christmas season, Landgrebe sold chocolate-covered pretzels, enough to afford blankets to distribute.
"I was not expecting the response," she said.
Because of the financial struggle to keep HomelessBus going, the Landgrebes have started to talk about what they do. Landgrebe said they always kept it to themselves.
"It was just something we did as a family, " she said, "but it has become big and a struggle to afford. This is why we are reaching out. It used to be a one-man show, now we can't handle it. We need help. We can't do it ourselves."
An interview in local media brought some attention to HomelessBus and one of the people taking note was Roberta Ginsberg.
The Montville Township resident donates to the Kiwanis Club's food pantry and encourages others also to help by posting on social media for anyone interested in assisting her. She always gets a good response and decided to use this approach for HomelessBus. In addition to her own sites, she posted on the Montville Moms Facebook page. This led to complete strangers dropping off food at Ginsberg's house.
"People become passionate about making a difference," said Ginsberg. "They just need someone to light the fire."
Ginsberg also connected the Landgrebes, whom she has never actually met, with Ralph, the new owner of Montville Bagels and Deli. The owner agreed to donate the unsold bagels at the end of the day.

They still believe Rivers is the better QB
hope that works
They still believe Rivers is the better QB
hope that works
who cares? I'd say it's worked out well for us, the steelers, and if the chargers feel they have the best qb for them, so be it. I'll tell you something else... IF all three of these guy retire the same year, and Eli has the fewest rings of the three... It's still a trade that will have worked well for us and subsequently the other two teams. At this point do we even need to care what the Chargers fans are saying about Rivers/Eli? Do we need to worry about Kurt Warner's comments? Just enjoy this run, cause it ain't gonna last forever and Eli is special. Think of the years between Simms and Eli. THAT WAS A LONG HAUL FOR US, so enjoy these next (hopefully 6-8 years).
I could care less, I'm thrilled with ELI and there is no comparison between the two quarterbacks.
I enjoy going over to other teams sites and seeing their opinions. I enjoy the whining when its not on this board
Good. I love the fact that they are bitter about it. I was down there in San Diego this weekend for the Super Bowl and the cover of their Sunday paper had Eli photoshopped in a chargers' t-shirt. They are haters and I love it
Thanks for posting that BookofEli, it never works for me
I love how they loathe us.[]

Pats fans too!! There is nothing sweeter than the sounds of agony coming from the fans of teams we were suppose to lose to!

I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
Chargers message board is not allowing new registrations.. One guy (the moderator) over there posted his fondness for the memory of Merriman sacking Eli and standing over him like a tough guy.. I wanted to remind him that the Chargers did not have to make the trade.. They could have tried to convince Eli to sign with them and gone on with their football lives

25 teabags per box. Each Tea bag weighs 2.0g
We bring you an eclectic mix of 'every day' teas to soothe the soul and enjoy with your loved ones. Born from our Your Tea 'Mood & Body' Collection, our Cafe Teas are an inevitably natural transition for us. We are passionate about creating blends that heal, please and enhance life as you know it.
You'll find that each and every one of our unique blends embodies a perfection reserved for the avid tea connoisseur. The time involved in procuring this collection has and will continue to be a conscientious process... because our tea is your tea - and it must be nothing short of special.
The positive effects of tea consumption span back thousands of years where it has been used in many cultures for medicinal purposes. Both western medicine and eastern medicine acknowledge the historically touted healing powers of tea. Indeed, much is to be said about a simple tea leaf - even more can be said when it is utilised for its intended/ inherent function.
Much like the physical healing benefits, tea leaves are said to perform many emotional benefits within the body. The trick? Understanding what tea types can alleviate different emotions. Knowing this, you're on your way to easing your mind and body with the humble tea leaf.
For a true tea lover, that feeling of a freshly brewed tea warming your entire body is like none other. It awakens a part of us that stills the world and eases all woes. The joy one receives is intangible and somewhat inexplicable. Yet, we can all resonate with that irrevocably harmonious feeling tea graffts us. Indeed, it feeds the soul like none other. That we believe, is the elixir of life.
We understand everyone has their own unique steeping preferences when it comes to tea. Some like it strong, some like it weak. As a general recommendation however, we suggest to steep our tea bags for 3-5 minutes.
When you store our delectable teas in a cool dry place, they will keep for up to 2 years. A dark pantry is perfect, as in storing teas in an airtight container. It is also important to isolate individual tea types from others, as tea is extremely delicate in their ability to absorb other fragrances (both tea and other smells scents included). As such, you should ideally store each tea type in an individual storage container to maintain optimal flavour.
We understand that minds change, and that's ok.
We accept returns with a full refund issued if you're not satisfied with your purchase, or you change your mind. Once your return is received by our warehouse, within 30 days of purchase date, unopened and in its original packaging, we will then issue your refund.
If you would like to return your unopened purchase, please contact our customer service team at email@example.com, they will email you details for the return address. Please bear in mind, we do not refund shipping costs.
Have you seen our instagram and read customer reviews? We recommend doing this prior to purchasing.
Perfect, we love talking tea. Please feel free to shoot us an email on email@example.com regarding any issues.

Yara is lavished with mud, glorious mud. It's a wonderful feeling.
She luxuriates in the touch of the soft mud as it gradually covers her sumptuous breasts. Ever so carefully, more and more is pasted on to her. It spreads beneath and around her nipples. Her breasts are totally enclosed with it. She surrenders to the sensation that builds up while her breasts are fondled. Dreamily she drifts into her private delight.
This is what she had been yearning for. Now it has come true.

Discussion in 'GM Electrical Tech' started by ChevyFan, Dec 2, 2011.
Anyone running recon lights on their Chevy or GMC?
recon smoked roof cab lights! check my pics
Me to smoked cab lights
I have the tailgate light bar.
Tailgate lights are sick! I want! And will have soon!
Yeah, about that! I've converted all my vehicle lighting to RECON lighting, lol! I've replaced the actual housing for my headlights, tail lights, and 3rd cab light. I've also replaced the stock bulbs in my interior dome lights and fog lamps with RECON's L.E.D. kit and Xenon bulbs. Cheers!
Recon doesn't seem to make headlights and parking lights for 06's and earlier.
I'm debating between the PlasmaGlow Firestorm tailgate bar and the one made by Recon. I don't think the Recon scans, does it?
Yeah, the recon one does scan. I recently bought a 60" plasmaglow fire and ice bar for my truck, I don't like the look of it at night. I will be willing to sell you mine if you want it. I had to hardwire mine so I had to cut off the 4 prong adapter for it off.
I can't seem to find any youtube videos of Recon tailgate bars scanning red for turn signals; I'm only seeing amber signal scans on the Recon bars. Do you know if they scan red for turn signals?
Also, I appreciate the offer on the Fire & Ice but I'm pretty set on scanning turn signals.
RECON's Xtreme Scanning Tailgate Light Bar is brand new for 2010 and functions as a Red LED Brake Light, Red LED Running Light, White LED Reverse Light, & Amber LED "Scanning" Turn Signal & Hazard lights. The scanning function starts in the middle of the bar and scans towards the outer edge of each side of the bar when applied. Get Lit w RECON Today!!!
I got this directly from their website. Not sure if this is what you wanted @ surrealone.

It is not so bad for a first release: we have text and KDE frontend, unit tests, syntax highlighting, undo/redo, KDE component support and copy/paste.
It will take us a lot of time to fix the details however.


text: Okay folks, I've been working on my 97 GMC K1500 1/4 4WD suburban for a while now and I've battled my way through bad plugs, bad batteries, new starter, retapping a JB welded hole for the radiator line coming out the top of my intake manifold, replacing the alternator, replacing u-joint, and lastly replacing the seal on the rear power transfer shaft. All of this since about...oh January. I love my 'burb and I refuse to give up on it, nor do I want to take it in, but this one's got me stumped. Had to replace the battery last November, and then it starts going dead on me a month or so ago. I took it in, had it tested, it checks out 100%, but I'm still dropping below cranking amps overnight. so I start tracing the dang thing down. At first thought it was my radio, then the CD player (they're separate on my model) so I had them both disconnected and I'm still getting a draw. Every time I reconnect my neg cable I can hear a faint buzz then a click like a relay. This afternoon I was able to chase it down to where I think it is. Under the dash, to the right of the steering column is a small metal box with a plug on the bottom of it and what looks like a relay on the side. I don't know what its called, what it does, or how to get it out of there, but it sounds like that's where it's coming from. I'll try getting a pic of it tomorrow in better light and puttin it up here. Does anyone have any idea what this is, what it does, and how to get it out? I have the owner's manual, a haynes manual, and you guys, and so far the first two haven't been much help to me on this one. Hoping someone out there does know. Thanks!

Baking: Fresh Fig, Walnut and Rosemary Upside Down Cake – with recipe!
Since I've moved to Murrayville, I have been incredibly fortunate to have plenty of neighbours who have fruit trees. And even more fortunate that said neighbours are also very generous. It was because of this that I had my first taste of figs. And boy was I smitten.
I was in a baking phase then so my immediate thoughts were: can I bake with this?
Turns out I can. And boy was it worth it. I brought my first fig cake ever to school and it got demolished by my colleagues in record time.
Fresh Fig, Walnut, and Rosemary Upside-Down Cake
1/2 cup butter (8 tablespoons)
1 cup brown sugar
10 fresh, ripe figs of your choice, tips removed, halved
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped, divided
2-3 tablespoons walnut pieces, or as many as needed
1 cup flour, sifted*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
zest of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 180c.
2. Add butter to a 9-inch-round baking pan, and place inside of a warm oven until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter. Add figs, flesh side down, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the rosemary. Fill in the nooks and crannies with walnut pieces.
3. In a medium bowl, combine sifted flour, baking powder and salt, and stir.
4. Using a hand mixer, in a metal or glass bowl, beat egg whites at high speed until fluffy. Set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add lemon juice, zest, vanilla extract, and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary, and beat well. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, and beat until well combined. Fold in the egg whites with a rubber spatula. Pour cake mixture evenly over the fruit, and smooth with the spatula.
6. Bake for 40 minutes, or until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert carefully onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
*Note: Sifting the flour creates a lighter cake.
So good. You really need to get onto this if you are a fig lover!

Female pussy lips (large) also known as beef curtain. A nice set of ham flaps will usually lead to a nice showing of camel toe. Sometimes too much ham flaps will result in some people calling it moose knuckle instead of camel toe. This is incorrect as moose knuckle is the male version of camel toe. This debate has gone on for years in many a smokey, urine smelling, crappy bar on a late night.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Announces $4 Million Fraud Settlement With New York Institute Of Technology And Cardean Learning Group, LLC
|Thursday, December 27, 2012
Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Brian M. Hickey, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the Northeastern Region of the United States Department of Education's Office of Inspector General ("USED-OIG"), announced today that the United States has settled a civil fraud lawsuit that it filed against NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY and CARDEAN LEARNING GROUP, LLC on December 20, 2012 for submitting false claims in connection with federal student loans and grants. The settlement agreements, approved in Manhattan federal court by U.S. District Judge John F. Keenan, require NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ("NYIT") to pay $2.5 million and CARDEAN LEARNING GROUP, LLC ("CARDEAN") to pay $1.5 million in civil damages under the False Claims Act. NYIT and CARDEAN also admitted to certain conduct set forth in the complaint.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: "Repeatedly, we see federal programs intended to help students being exploited through fraud. Here, the defendants abused federal student loan and grant programs, which give low-income students who could not otherwise avail themselves of a higher education the opportunity to do so. This Office will continue to be vigilant in ensuring that these critical programs are protected from fraud, and that the important goals of the programs are preserved."
USED-OIG Special Agent-in-Charge Brian M. Hickey said: "The incentive compensation prohibition primarily exists for one reason – it protects students. I am proud of the work of our team whose efforts led to this settlement and all of the work we do in support of America's students and taxpayers."
According to the Complaint and Settlement Agreements filed in Manhattan federal court:
NYIT is a private, non-profit university with over 14,000 students that participates in federally-funded student loan and grant programs administered by the United States Department of Education ("USED"). As a condition of receiving this funding, NYIT is required to comply with certain statutory and contractual provisions, one of which prohibits program participants from paying recruiters based solely on the number of students they are able to enroll (the "incentive compensation ban").
In 2003, NYIT contracted with CARDEAN, a for-profit provider of on-line education, to permit students of Ellis College, an on-line school, to use NYIT's eligibility for federal student loan and grant funding and to receive degrees issued by NYIT in exchange for a percentage of CARDEAN's revenue. Under the arrangement, students who enrolled and completed courses of study at Ellis College were awarded degrees issued by NYIT even though Ellis College students could not take NYIT courses. To attract students to Ellis College, CARDEAN used recruiters who were paid incentive compensation based on the number of students they enrolled in Ellis College – in direct violation of the incentive compensation ban. Critical to the success of the arrangement between NYIT and CARDEAN, the students who attended Ellis College's on-line courses had access to federal funding through NYIT to which they would not otherwise have been entitled.
The contractual arrangement was a huge boon to NYIT. By 2007, 3,200 students out of NYIT's total enrollment of 14,500 - 22% - were enrolled in Ellis College. That same year, NYIT administered over $107 million in federal financial aid, of which $17 million – 16% - was for Ellis College students. NYIT turned a blind eye to CARDEAN'S violation of USED's incentive compensation ban, a prohibition intended to avoid the drain on public funds resulting from high default rates associated with the practice. As a result of this fraud, the Government paid NYIT millions in the form of grants and subsidized and guaranteed loans, and defendants received money to which they were not entitled.
In the settlement agreement between the federal government and NYIT, NYIT admitted that it entered into agreements with USED certifying that it would comply with the incentive compensation ban and that it would not contract with any third party that violated the ban. NYIT admits that it contracted with CARDEAN to provide recruitment and other services with respect to Ellis College and further admits that it failed to exercise adequate oversight over CARDEAN'S practices with respect to compensating Ellis College recruiters.
In the settlement agreement between the federal government and CARDEAN, CARDEAN admits in the settlement agreement that, in some cases, it compensated Ellis College recruiters with incentive payments in addition to their regular salaries for, among other things, securing student enrollments for Ellis College.
Mr. Bharara praised the investigative work of the USED-OIG for its extraordinary assistance in this case.
This case is being handled by the Office's Civil Frauds Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Heidi A. Wendel and Mara E. Trager are in charge of the case.

Noah Wilson-Rich:
Every city needs healthy honey bees
Bees have been rapidly and mysteriously disappearing from rural areas, with grave implications for agriculture. But bees seem to flourish in urban environments — and cities need their help, too. Noah Wilson-Rich suggests that urban beekeeping might play a role in revitalizing both a city and a species.

During our stay in Krakow we took a day trip 60kms out of town to visit the concentration camps of Auschwitch and the nearby death camp of Birkenau. Here we took a very sombre tour through the former Nazi bases. It was pretty spooky walking under the main gates at Auschwitch with its cynical inscription ''Arbeit Macht Frei'' which means work brings freedom.
Birkenau which is 4 times bigger than Auschwitch next door was perhaps a little more shocking as this was where most of the prisoners were trained in and put to death in the gas chambers. There were still fragments of bone that are in amongst the ground. There was a deep fog over the whole site and the watchtowers and fences just disappeared into the fog.

Local legislators report increases in funding for vairous programs
District 5B Rep. Tom Anzelc, DFL-Balsam Township, said the recent legislative session ended with lots of compromise, though Anzelc was happy with some of the decisions made.
"I thought it was a major correction ending 10 years of eliminating services, cutting services. It was significant in that we focused on public education and property tax relief. We accomplished that," Anzelc said. "Homeowners will see reducing property taxes, and schools and community colleges and the state university system will see more money for public schools."
Anzelc said tuition rates for higher education have been frozen for two years.
"All of this, of course, comes with a price, and the price will be paid primarily by high income Minnesotans who have done very, very, very well in shielding their income over the last 10 years; but, unfortunately, cigarette smokers and tobacco consumers will pay a price as well," Anzelc said.
Anzelc did not support increasing taxes on tobacco products.
"Closer to home, for resorts in Cass County and Itasca County, and resorts throughout the resort country, there are two provisions that I worked very hard on that will provide some relief," Anzelc said.
Anzelc said he fought to keep the school year from starting before Labor Day and was a member of the Tax Conference Committee to create a provision allowing resorts in northeastern Minnesota to delay making their first half property tax payments to counties until June 15.
Anzelc also said positive changes included a per pupil funding increase to public schools, tax increases and an increase in equity for Minnesota's Rural districts.
"Because of declining population, when the census is taken every 10 years, in northeastern Minnesota, northern Minnesota, central and northern Minnesota, we're losing clout at the Legislature, but we held our own and I was happy to be a part of it," Anzelc said.
Anzelc did say, however, that the last two weeks of the session were increasingly stressful, as well as disorganized.
District 5 state Sen. Tom Saxhaug, DFL-Grand Rapids, also reported success with a number of provisions to the Omnibus Jobs and Economic Development bill. In a news release, Saxhaug's office reported that the bill included funding for projects at the Grand Rapids YMCA, Greenway Ice Arena and a shared fire hall for Coleraine, Bovey, Caconite, Marble, Calumet, and Greenway fire departments.
"We are creating economic development in many different communities throughout northern Minnesota," Saxhaug said. "These are investments that will help keep our neighborhoods healthy and safe."
Saxhaug said he also fought to increase funding for Explore Minnesota. The legislation in question would approximately double the funding for "promotional and tourism advocacy organization statewide."
District 9 Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Cass County, said that to him the session was mostly lowlights.
"It's my third term as a legislator and I think it was the largest tax increase in Minnesota history," Gazelka said, "which never bodes well for the long-term economic health of the state."
It wasn't just taxes that Gazelka was displeased with, though. Gazelka was also unhappy that gay marriage was passed, he said, "though when polled the people of Minnesota did not want that."
He said a major disappointment was that daycare unionization was passed, even though, he said, 86 percent of daycare providers when polled did not want to join a union.
"To me it was a payoff to union folks because they'll raise $3 million in dues and that all goes to one party," Gazelka said.
Gazelka said he was pleased with the limited bonding bill that was passed for state infrastructure. Some of that will go to the state Capitol, which he said is literally falling apart.
The Legislature also provided money to fund the Minneapolis veterans' home that was waiting for state dollars, he said.
"That was a bipartisan vote that I was glad we did," he said.
Gazelka said there was another disappointment in the Legislature: the repeal of the sunset commission.
He said the sunset commission, which he helped put together, looked over all government agencies in a 12-year rotation to make them prove why they're in existence.
"To me it's like we're spending a lot of money but not going line-by-line through the budget, and the very commission that would do that was repealed," he said.
Gazelka said the session had "some serious negatives that will impact us all."

Did the so-called father of American vertebrate paleontology believe in fossils?
Keith Thomson
In April 1836, the naturalist John Kirk Townsend wrote from Vancouver to the physician Samuel G. Morton in Philadelphia, to report that a group of Indians had told him of seeing
a quadruped of a gigantic size which from the description appeared to resemble the supposed extinct Mastodon. They said it was about the height of one of their houses (not less than 30 feet), and that it was of a brownish or blackish color, & appeared almost destitute of hair.… This story was substantiated by the whole party, & some individually did not hesitate to strengthen their affirmations by the most solemn oaths.
Similar tales of strange monsters roaming the western lands of the continent had been common in the previous century. A nice example is given in the journal of James Kenny, a frontier trader who worked for the Commissioners for Indian Affairs, from 1761:
the Rhinosses or Elephant Master, being a very large Creature of a Dark Colour having a long Strong horn growing upon his nose (wth which he kills Elephants) a Short tail like an Elk; two of sd horns he seen fixd over a Gate at St Augustine, & that its ye bnes of Some of these lies down in Buffelo lick by ye Ohio, wher ye Great teeth Comes from.
Thomas Jefferson avidly collected such accounts as they were important for his view of science. Jefferson did not believe in extinction. He was particularly fascinated by the American mastodon, the elephant relative that he referred to for many years as "the mammoth." It was not until 1806 in Paris that the French naturalist Georges Cuvier formally separated "mastodonte" from mammoth and also concluded that there were two living species of elephant. But in his Notes on the State of Virginia (1785), Jefferson had already concluded that the cold-adapted "mammoths" were different from the living tropical African and Asian elephants. Over many years he amassed a large collection of "mammoth" remains, which he displayed in the entrance hall of Monticello, his great house in Virginia.
Jefferson's second great paleontological interest arose in 1799 when he was sent some bones of a huge mammal "of the clawed kind" that had been found in a cave in Greenbrier County (in present-day West Virginia). He described this creature in his writings and named it Megalonyx ("great claw"). Jefferson was sure that this creature also still lived and, as is well known, he very much hoped that the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804–1806 would find evidence of both living mastodons and Megalonyx in the American West. He was therefore pleased when, soon after he completed his study of Megalonyx for publication in 1799 in the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, a correspondent informed him:
Some circumstances have lately been related to me which in my opinion go far in support of your conjecture that the species of Animal whose Bones were found in Green, still exists in the Western Country…. far up the Misouri river in which an Animal is found of a brown colour, much larger than a Bear, of astonishing strength, activity, & fierceness … a Nail [was] taken from the Claw of one killed by the party of Indians to which he belonged but not before it had torn several of them into pieces. This Nail or horny part of the Claw is said to measure six inches in length.
For his analysis of the mastodon and description of Megalonyx, historians have often called Jefferson the father of American vertebrate paleontology. Sixty-five years ago, however, paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson, in a masterly review of the history of American vertebrate paleontology, argued that Jefferson did not deserve this accolade because his actions were not sufficiently scientific. Simpson points out that Jefferson did not believe in extinction partly on religious grounds, and in his paper on Megalonyx, he started with a theory (that the animal was some kind of gigantic American lion) and then tried to prove it, rather than first assembling the facts. Both of these charges are true. But the situation turns out to be rather more complicated than Simpson thought.
The first defense against Simpson's charge is that Jefferson's views on extinction were not simply, and certainly not only, a matter of religious prejudice—although it is true that Jefferson was a deist who thought that the Creator had made the world just once, and as it is now. He wrote to John Adams in 1823 of his beliefs:
The movements of the heavenly bodies, so exactly held in their course by the balance of centrifugal and centripetal forces, the structure of our earth itself, with its distribution of lands, waters and atmosphere, animal and vegetable bodies, examined in all their minutest particles, insects mere atoms of life, yet as perfectly organized as man or mammoth, the mineral substances, their generation and uses, it is impossible, I say, for the human mind not to believe that there is, in all this, design, cause and effect, up to an ultimate cause, a fabricator of all things from matter and motion, their preserver and regulator …
In fact, Jefferson did recognize the obvious fact that species and populations—such as the wolf and bear in Britain, or various American Indian groups—became extinct. He also believed that nature compensated for such losses. The sentence quoted above continues, "while permitted to exist in their present forms, and their regenerator into new and other forms." Furthermore, in the same letter he wrote:
We see … evident proofs of the necessity of a superintending power to maintain the Universe in its course and order … Certain races of animals are become extinct; and, were there no restoring power, all existence might extinguish successively, one by one, until all should be reduced to a shapeless chaos.
As for the mastodon and Megalonyx, Jefferson, the lawyer, simply argued "the bones exist; therefore the animal has existed.… If this animal then has once existed, it is probable … that he still exists." But he also argued like a scientist. In his paper on Megalonyx he devoted a full four (out of 14) pages to reports from western travelers of encounters like those cited above. In this sense, his view of extinction can be seen as a hypothesis for which he cited evidence in support.
A more difficult question concerns Jefferson's understanding of what his mastodon and Megalonyx bones actually were. It is impossible to open any work about Jefferson and his collections without finding a reference to Jefferson's love of "fossils." But a careful search of Jefferson's writings (now made possible by the availability of searchable databases) reveals the surprising fact that he never referred to them as fossils. For him they were always simply "bones." The word "fossil" does not appear in Notes on the State of Virginia or his letters.
In Jefferson's day, the word "fossil" was undergoing a change of meaning. Prior to the mid-18th century, "fossil" (from its Latin root, fossere, to dig) referred to anything dug up out of the ground. Thus coal, diamonds, metal ores, asphalt and the remains of once-living creatures were all called fossils. Then in works such as John Woodward's Fossils of all Kinds, Digested into a Method Suitable to their Mutual Relation and Affinity (1728) two different categories came to be distinguished: native fossils (minerals and metals) and extraneous fossils. The latter was restricted to the remains of once-living creatures, petrified and preserved in the rocks. Eventually the various elements of native fossils all found their own separate names and the term extraneous fossils (and sometimes adventitious fossils), was reduced simply to "fossils," remained for the organic remains. From then, it was used both as a noun and an adjective. Thus in 1758, physician John Fothergill reported on "the fossile bones of an Allegator" from Whitby in Yorkshire, England, and anatomist William Hunter, writing about remains from Big Bone Lick in America in 1768, called them "fossil tusks." Botanist Peter Collinson the same year referred to "very large Fossil Teeth" from the same source.
It is important to note, however, that at first the definition of something as a fossil did not necessarily imply great age; the whole Earth, in conventional thinking, was only 6,000 years old. But, in that context, something 5,000 years old was ancient indeed. This still left the problem of discovering how petrification occurred and how fossils were formed—how "the stoney Atoms have intruded themselves into all parts alike," as Robert Plot put it in his 1677 publication Natural History of Oxford-shire.
In America the transition to the new set of meanings was patchy. In 1771 the American Philosophical Society proposed the creation of a new museum containing "all Specimens of Natural Productions, whether of the ANIMAL, VEGETABLE or FOSSIL Kingdoms." A decade later, philosopher Pierre Eugene du Simitière advertised his "American Museum" in Philadelphia as including "Artificial Curiosities" (such as portraits and machines) and "Natural Curiosities." The latter included "Marine Productions" (fishes and the like), "Land Productions" (birds and insects, for example), "Fossils" (used in the old sense of minerals and salts) and "Petrifications." This last category included both what we now call fossils (such as bones, shells, teeth and corals) as well as a number of inorganic categories such as "fossil substances produced by the eruptions of Volcanos." As late as 1792, when painter and naturalist Charles Willson Peale proposed his new museum for Philadelphia, he wrote that it would include "the fossil kingdom, comprehending the earths, minerals, and other fossil matters, which include petrefections." All three projects set a line between objects that belonged to living organisms and those that were petrified.
An obvious logical difficulty created by such classifications was that an object such as a mastodon femur could be classed either as a bone or a fossil, but it could not be both. In this situation, anything that recognizably belonged to a vertebrate skeleton, even if petrified, was preferentially referred to as a "bone" or "tooth."
A modern usage of the word fossil appeared in the minutes of the American Philosophical Society in 1784, when a collection of Big Bone Lick fossils collected by a Major Craig was described as "petrified bones." The 1799 volume of the American Philosophical Society Transactions, which included Jefferson's Megalonyx paper, also had a contribution from a land speculator, Judge George Turner, in which bones from Big Bone Lick were termed "extraneous fossils." In a 1796 letter to his cousin Philip Turpin—a farmer whose land became an archeological site—Jefferson himself referred to an unspecified "petrified Bone in my possession" (evidently not part of his Megalonyx suite). Several of Jefferson's correspondents in the 1780s and 1790s used the word fossil in its current sense. He was also familiar with the fossil shells (possibly Silurian brachiopods) that could be found in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and freely referred to them as petrified but, again, not as fossils.
Jefferson's consistent failure to use the word in his more formal writings almost seems like deliberate avoidance. That impression is strengthened by the only two cases that I have discovered of Jefferson actually mentioning the word. In 1807 he hired William Clark to head back to the Ohio territory and make a large collection of bones from Big Bone Lick, the famous site from which all the great mastodon remains had been recovered (before Peale's then-recent excavations in New York State). When first formally commissioning Clark, Jefferson referred only to collecting "bones." When he thanked him for the results two years later, he also wrote of "bones." But in his private account book he made a different annotation. The entry for February 9, 1808, reads: "Gave ord. on bank US. In favr. Genl. Wm. Clarke for expenses digging fossil bones." There is a similar notation for November 2 of that year where he used the French spelling "fossile."
At the very least these entries tell us that Jefferson recognized the status of some remains as having been "dug up," but from his other writings it is not at all clear that Jefferson thought that his mastodon and Megalonyx remains were actually petrified. He wrote that the Megalonyx remains showed "a small degree of petrification" in addition to being preserved by impregnation by "nitre" from the cave floor. He may even have doubted whether elements found in a marsh or on a cave floor qualified as having been "dug up."
It is inappropriate to judge Jefferson, as Simpson did, by our own standards, and many a great scientist turns out to have been (in our estimation) wrong some of the time. Nonetheless, as is often the case with Jefferson, a puzzle remains. Did he deliberately avoid using the word "fossil" in reference to the mastodon and Megalonyx? If so, did he do it as a lawyer and for strategic, rhetorical reasons, or as a scientist, or as both? From our modern point of view, the dilemma Jefferson faced is easy to outline. There was no consensus on how petrifaction occurred, how long it took, and indeed, how sea shells came to be found high up in mountains, how mountains were formed or how old the Earth was. And there was no unanimity about whether extinction was a real phenomenon. In each of these questions, some contemporary philosophers were edging toward modern solutions, whereas others were exploring versions of a flood theory or hypothesizing about impacts with comets. Jefferson, aware of the trends, evidently found his ideas and information to be in conflict.
From a religious point of view, Jefferson did not want to accept extinction, but there was also enough anecdotal evidence to suggest that Megalonyx, at least, might still be alive in the west to support him in that conclusion. He was unsure to what extent his "bones" were petrified. It seems that his solution was to be extremely careful in his word usage. As a master of language and of precise use of rhetoric, Jefferson seems to have kept his options open by simply avoiding use of the word fossil and by sticking to terms whose meaning was precise and unequivocal. By referring to the fossils of mastodon and Megalonyx (which in any case, we now know were only 8,000 to 12,000 years old) simply as bones, tusks and teeth, he wrote with strict accuracy and preserved his philosophical position.
With his perceptive analysis of the mastodon and other elephants in Notes on the State of Virginia and his account of Megalonyx, Jefferson made significant contributions to scientific knowledge. He certainly encouraged the discovery and study of fossils by people such as Charles Willson Peale and physician Caspar Wistar (whose own analysis of Megalonyx, published alongside Jefferson's, was a masterpiece of forensic anatomy). Jefferson was misled by his hopes that the mastodon and Megalonyx were mighty ferocious carnivores that would symbolize American vigor (and contradict European claims of the inferiority of American wildlife), but he was in many ways the progenitor of our modern fascination with another set of monsters from the west—dinosaurs. In these respects, he can fairly be considered a founder of American vertebrate paleontology. But the irony remains that he helped found a discipline without having accepted two of its fundamental premises: fossils and extinction.

South Eastern Europe (SEE) is prone to disasters that transcend borders and overwhelm the capacity of a single country to cope. The level of preparedness and prevention capacities varies considerably from country to country. Some threats, such as flooding and forest fires tend to be seasonal in nature and thus present opportunities for immediate preparedness measures and mutual cooperation between neighbouring nations.
Upon an initiative of the countries in the region, in November 2000 the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe launched the "Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative" (DPPI) in an effort to contribute to the development of a cohesive regional strategy for disaster preparedness and prevention of the SEE countries. The DPPI was conceived as an activity that sought to provide a framework for South Eastern European nations to develop programs and projects leading to strengthened capabilities in preventing and responding to natural and man-made disasters.
Transfer to the region - full regional ownership - In 2007, being aware of the importance and benefits of regional co-operation in the field of disaster preparedness and prevention, the SEE countries (Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey) agreed to fully take over the management of the Initiative by signing the Memorandum of Understanding on the Institutional Framework of the Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative for South Eastern Europe. In 2013 and 2014, the DPPI SEE member countries reaffirmed their commitments expressed in the Memorandum of Understanding (2007) by signing the new Memorandum of Understanding on the Institutional Framework of the Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative for South Eastern Europe 2013.
The DPPI SEE has developed over the past years into a largely independent, effective, consultative and coordinating mechanism. It fosters co-operation across borders in order to ensure the safety of citizens as well as of the environment. The unique value of the DPPI SEE, no doubt, lies in its member countries unwavering commitment to the implementation of the DPPI SEE principle goals and objectives. This way, the Initiative is driven by the countries of the region while the fuel comes from different stakeholder sources always aimed at enabling the engine to run.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
When President Bush's two-day ultimatum to Saddam Hussein expired Wednesday, a parallel deadline passed for anti-war protesters in San Francisco. Three days earlier, a very loose coalition of antiwar groups had announced their intention to "shut down" the city's financial district the morning after hostilities began. After weeks of planning, protesters occupied several intersections on the city's main commercial thoroughfare, Market Street, by seven am Thusday morning. Most of the protesters moved in small groups, doing their best to avoid confrontation with police, who were out in dramatic force at some locations, but totally absent in others. The protesters had a game plan: a few would step into a busy intersection, stopping traffic, while others pulled debris -- usually metal newspaper vending boxes -- into the street. Most of the blockades were short-lived; protesters usually removed the debris after ten or fifteen minutes. When police did catch up with the activists, they formed phalanxes across the street, advancing to disperse the crowd. The protesters scattered, moving quickly to another intersection and repeating their efforts. Not everyone tried to stay a step ahead of the police, however. Shortly before 7 a.m., several dozen activists locked themselves together in two ranks across Market Street. They formed a human chain, their arms sheathed in heavy pipe, their hands linked with plastic zip-ties. By the end of the day, hundreds had been arrested. Though police were generally not quick to use force, the presence of officers in riot gear initially gave the scene a tense edge. This quickly became somewhat forced, however, as arrests began and police seemed, with few exceptions, to be limiting their use of force. For their parts, the protesters shouted encouragement to each other, and sometimes complained loudly when removed. More than anything, the mood on Market Street was one of confusion: protestsers asking each other where to go next, cops waiting for orders, and firefighters puzzling over how to get a limp twenty year old's shackled hands pried apart without breaking anyone's arm. And no one was going anywhere on a bus, that was for sure. Marc Herman is a San Francisco-based freelance journalist whose work has appeared in Mother Jones, Spin, Harper's, and other publications. His first book, Searching for El Dorado, was published in February.

Holy Week is a time for Christians to focus on the love of Jesus Christ, the sacrifice He made on the cross and celebration of His Resurrection.
Harriman's Courts of Praise will be trying to exemplify His love this week with what members are referring to as Love Week, a community mission trip to help those in need in their own community in Harriman.
"This year, we felt like our mission needed to be here in Harriman, to our own backyard," said Brandon Grant, the church's community project coordinator.

Badr Hari Due Back in Court on October 10th
- Written by Dave Walsh
For Badr Hari the nightmare of his legal problems has still yet to really end. While Hari might be a free man for the time being, there is still an upcoming trial that looms ahead for him in the brutal beating of Koen Everink. Everink was beaten within an inch of his life, with a plate in his head now and limited use of his ankle, which was damaged so severely in a night club attack, which he has pointed out Badr Hari as his attacker.
Hari served some prison time already in the case, but was let out on bail earlier this year, which allowed for him to return to the ring where he has competed twice this year so far. According to De Telegraaf Hari is due back in court starting on October 10th where his fate will be decided once and for all.

Lauren Holly's cleavage pics at an eventTuesday, May 4th, 2010
If you've been wondering all this time where Lauren Holly has been hiding, then look no further 'coz you've come to the right place. Let me just first tell you that Lauren Holly is one of the greatest drama actress of her time and she deserved the fame as well as the acting career that she has very well worked hard for. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's be real here. Without the beautiful face, slim tight body and Lauren Holly's tits her career might have gone a little turn. But because Lauren Holly's hot body puts young celebrities to shame(yes Mischa Barton I'm talking to you), her name won't be scratched out easily from the hall of hotness fame.
These are latest pics of the sexy cougar we've all jacked off to and wow…Lauren Holly's tits didn't go anywhere! They still look so inviting and juicy that you just want to bury your face in between them. Now if you'll excuse me, my dick and Lauren Holly's cleavage needs to be acquainted again.

Ok, let me get this straight: One Direction are in Japan, recording a movie, having the most amazing time of their lives as a band. And you still have to turn it to Taylor? C'mon! Taylor has NOTHING to do with this. They broke up? Oh, how sad. Just forget about her, ok? We don't care about her, we care about One Direction. And it's not "Harry Styles and the rest of One Direction". He isn't the lead one. So, if the news have nothing to do with Haylor, why bringing that up? I think most Directioners agree with me, drop it. And should the movie talk abour Haylor? NOT. AT ALL.

SCSU's Gravel Named To U.S. National Junior Team
Sophomore Kevin Gravel won't be playing for St. Cloud State next week when they take on Western Michigan. Instead, he'll be wearing the stars and stripes for Team USA in the IIHF World Junior Championships. The Sophomore defenseman from Kingsford, Michigan was named to the U.S. National Junior Team's final 22-man roster announced this morning on USA Hockey's website.
Gravel becomes the seventh Husky to represent Team USA in the World Junior Championships, and the first since SCSU teammate Mike Lee, who won a gold medal in 2010. Overall, Gravel is the tenth Husky to skate in the tournament.
Gravel, a draft pick of the LA Kings, is in his second season for the Huskies and has zero goals and four assists this season for SCSU. He will be joined by several of his WCHA foes including Derek Forbort (North Dakota), Kyle Rau and Nick Bjugstad (Minnesota), Jason Zucker (Denver), as well as Josh Archibald and Head Coach Dean Blais (Nebraska-Omaha.)
The tournament takes place from December 26- January 5. To follow Gravel at the World Junior Championships, follow us on Twitter.

very nice
accommodation in a typical middle-class clean Quarter of Paris. The apartment is clean bright and generous. Four persons havea lot of space and no Problems with beds. The next underground station is only 5 minutes away on foot. On friday is next to the station a beautiful fish, vegetables and meat market Ariane is very friendly, helpful and speaks German, English and French. The return of the deposit was absolutely no problem. All in all, highly recommended.
Spacious, clean and convenient. These are the words I would use to describe the apartment. Our host, Ariane, met us and explained everything well. Since it was exceptionally hot in Paris when we arrived, 103, she even bought a fan for us to use. One nice thing was that the apartment is on the top floor, with balconies on both sides, so you could open up the doors and get a nice breeze through.
We enjoyed eating breakfast on the balcony, after I walked a block to get wonderful croisants from a great bakery and fresh fruit accross from that. That and a grocery store were all within easy 3 minute walking distance. The metro was about a 10-15 minute walk (for us old folks) and with it you could go practically anywhere. Staying for a longer period made it nice to have the washing machine (with detergent provided) as well as the dishwasher. There was no problem with noise from neighbors or the street. Everything we needed seemed to be provided.
The apartment is as fine as it was in pictures. It was about 15 minutes away from place d'Italie metrostation. Both bedrooms are big enough and apartment fits for four persons. There is also enough stuff in kitchen for cooking. The owner of the place is very kind and helpfull.
We had a fantastic stay at Arianes appartment. It is just like in the pictures. The view is magnificent, It`s quiet in the nights and the beds is good.
It`t close to Metro, small stores like bakerys, cheese stores and supermarkets. There are also lot`s of small and cosey bars and restaurants in the neighborhood.
Nothing negative to say. Can gladly recomend Arianes appartment and she was also very flexible With the arrivle and departure time.
A Swedish Family of 4.
This very nice apartment, clean. It has everything you need. 2 bedrooms, sunny living room with a nice view, kitchen with all you need. Pictures do not reflect as much as 50% that this apartment is cool.
The area is also Ok. good market open to 23pm., a bakery with delicious bread, nice restaurants. To the underground 500 m distances
Ariane is very cool, nice and helpful.
With nothing no problem.
I would recommend this apartment and Ariane
A nice appartment in a pleasent part of Paris, which I can very much recommend. The host - Ariane - is both easy to get in contact with and very helpful.
Lovely apartment on the top floor of this fairly modern building with a marvelous view from the two balconies. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful with a lot of small restaurants and shops where you can buy different kinds of food. Our host Ariane was very helpful and accommodating and we would really recommend this apartment. We enjoyed the stay very much and will certainly be back soon.
Mooi ruim en schoon appartement op de 7de etage. Het appartement heeft een redelijke grote woonkamer met aangrenzende keuken welke volledig is uitgerust met alles wat men mogelijk nodig heeft. 2 Aparte slaapkamers (1 twee persoons bed en 1 kamer met 2 een persoonsbedden), een badkamer met ligbad/douche en apart toilet en twee kleine balkons.
Het appartement is gelegen in een relaxte en gezellige wijk met in de nabijheid een bakkerij, apotheek, pattisiers, restaurantjes, ijssalon, supermarkt etc.
De metro ligt op 10 minuten lopen van het appartement.
Ariane was een goede en vriendelijke gastvrouw en was zeer flexibel in aankomst en vertrektijden. Vriendelijke en zeer prettige communicatie.
Ik raad dit appartement ten zeerste aan en zou hier graag terug keren bij een volgend verblijf in Parijs!
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans l'appartement d'Ariane. L'appartement bénéficie de lumière naturelle et possède la rare qualité (à Paris) de n'avoir aucun vis-à-vis. Il est propre, bien équipé et très calme. Le quartier est ce qu'on peut faire de mieux pour s'approcher d'une ambiance "village" en plein coeur de la capitale. Ariane est très sympathique et s'est montrée flexible pour nos horaires de départ et arrivée. 5 étoiles sans hésiter !
Vi, tre damer i voksen alder synes at det var kjempefint å bo i 13de arrondisement. Der bor man blant franskmenn og får innblikk i hvordan deres hverdag er. Leiligheten var veldig fin og kan trygt anbefales. Vertskapet var veldig behjelpelig da vi låste oss ute,- skrekk og gru - i Paris. Men fort gjort med den låsen. Flott med WIFI i leiligheten. Butikker av alle slag rett utenfor døren. Det samme gjaldt barer og spisesteder. Her skjedde alt lokalt. Buss til sentrum heller ikke noe problem.

I am glad this thread has brought out these views.
For a new person looking at starting beekeeping it is very confusing what is out there in the literature, internet, and forums. For me I learn by questioning. I question like I am on the outside looking in. No matter what the philosophy is, one needs to be able to stand up and defend it - prove to me why your way is better. That is where the "successful" definition comes in (however you want to measure it).
Now some may say they have nothing to prove to me and don't have to defend what they do or say. That is fine and you absolutely have that right, but if you are writing about it and sharing what you do, then when I ask, you should be able to answer.
My request to have whose share who have hives that are treatment free for 3-5 years is a genuine desire to guage who/how many are out there. Deepdown I want to believe that TFB is the way to go, but I have doubts. Why? Because we don't live that way. What I am learning is that we are trying to domesticate an undomesticateable (is that a word) insect. That is a tough mind shift to make. We have the medicines and treatments, and they work for humans, and livestock, etc. Why not bees?
Defending what one does is never fun. But sometimes it is neccessary, especially if you are bucking the status quo. And guess what? TFB is bucking!
Last edited by bbrowncods; 11-08-2012 at 01:56 AM. Reason: run on sentence
Question, yes of course we must ask question, I agree BUT
Proof? If you go back and read all the wealth of excellent information posted by experienced (and successful) TFB on this forum and others I think the proof is simply there. If they are not treating and their bees are doing well.. is that not proof that it does work?
Defend? Why? It's works! healthy, happy bees!!YEAH!!
With all due respect I think you are looking for proof that it doesn't work.
For me, I can see that it is working, I am hungry for information, so tell me how, show me how, if it works for you, it can work for me! I know it is not easy, I know there will be some failures, but I WANT to be there! I refuse to use chemicals on my bees or my garden - and my garden grows.
TFB is bucking? Maybe so, who cares? If it doesn't work, why are there so many TFB out there?

i think it's important to understand that treatment free beekeeping goes way beyond just not putting chemicals into the hive.
there are a lot of facets to keeping bees healthy, and a lot of variations on the theme.
if you haven't already, check out michael bush's website or order his book. spend some time reading what randy oliver's work has shown. be prepared to learn from your own experiences, (read here mistakes).
from what i have seen myself, it is very possible to achieve maintaining healthy colonies that don't require, or rarely require, a treatment intervention. especially for the hobbiest who has the time to invest in each individual hive.
as i have said, i view not using treatments as the end result of good solid beekeeping practices, rather than a means to that end. there are other views of course.....
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
that's awesome mark.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
The scores of people that say "I'm a first year no treatment beekeeper and my bees are doing well" are only creating noise that muddies the equation. It's really too early to tell.
Given that a lot of "no treatment" beekeepers inadvertently buy pre-treated hives, I suggest that a hive would need to go untreated for at least 2 years, and probably 3 before it could be considered a successful example of no treatment.
First, I am just a novice. Four years ago I was going to start but found out that my city did not allow apiaries in the city limits. Then in 2011 they rescended the law, but I knew I was going to be deployed in 2012. So I have been on again off again for 3-4 years now. I am at the point of making some critical decisions now that I am going to be returning in February. So here we go.
Don't answer that. Do you see my point?

Thank you! That would be nice. I was going to subscribe when I got back.
I have read MB's site. Twice! I am ordering his book once I decide either the hardback or the volumes.
When I listened to his video (post #1) it really through me for a loop. Hence this 90 post thread! He doesn't come across as hard core on his website as he did in the video (at least to me). Maybe I just didn't grasp it until I heard him say it!
So it has been quite a leap for me from what the main stream teaches. I have been studing the Virginia Master Beekeeper Program and it is all about treating. So imagine my surprise when I start coming across those who eschew that philosophy.
i.e. the type of artificial housing we choose to put them into, the frame manipulations we choose to do, the taking and giving of resources we choose to do, the altered diet we may choose to put them on, ect.
i don't think we give enough consideration to these extrinsic factors and what effect they may have on the colony. it is why i don't think it's prudent to compare our kept colonies to feral ones, and why i think it is in some ways unfair to ask them to 'handle on their own' some of the challenges that may come along from time to time.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I have long been on the fence about whether a treatment-free migratory commercial bee could exist. I hold out hope, but I'm still on the fence.
good point.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
There is nothing mutually exclusive about moving bees and being treatment free. Heck we could easily do it but choose instead to reduce fall mite loads when the bees are brood less so that we have plenty of strong bees coming out of the winter for Almond pollination and The following seasons honey crop tests free of any mite treatment residues.We aren't doing anything radically different than those who constantly split their bees to stay ahead of the mite load. If we did that long term chances are we would have trouble maintaining our number of strong hives but then I really don't know that for sure.
