Technically he has 2 accounts and will be paying for 2 Fees- which is ridiculous as he will be carrying two balances.
Someone mentioned Delta Reserve earlier. That's garbage and I'd throw that away. You're only getting access to Delta lounges for the same fee and not the same level of benefits of the Platinum.
Also, you get companion tickets if you book international business. I've never used them but I will soon as some family will be relocating oversees.
carries the Platinum over the Centurion because there are no additional benefits besides personal concierge.
You only get this if you managed to apply separately twice and not upgrade. Technically he has 2 accounts and will be paying for 2 Fees- which is ridiculous as he will be carrying two balances.
They will take it off the top. 450-175 and you pay the difference.
I'm a huge AMEX Platinum advocate. I've had more shite taken care of for me in the past year and less headaches than I've ever had to deal with.
For example, me and the GF went to New Orleans this past August. We booked some Hotel called Le Richelieu near the French Quarter through Travelocity's Express Hidden Deals. Non-Refundable.
We showed up at the M-Fer and it looked nasty, straight out the 70s. I took a dump in the place, turned in our keys and called the Omni Royal Orleans and rebooked our rooms. They would not offer a refund.
Next day I called AMEX, told them about the issues and how it was "non-refundable". We booked another hotel. I got the entire charge refunded in about 3 days.
AMEX doesn't take shite from other businesses. The fee associated with the Platinum is expensive but it's times like this, I feel like I'm packing a hammer in my pants.
You eat too many groceries.
Not even close. The customer service is completely different experience. I've had disputes open 30 days before resolution with the Gold. 3 days with the Platinum.
Centurion was pretty much taken word for word from the guy I know from Shreveport. Besides, no swinging dick here will ever hit black so it won't matter.
I figure it like this. Reason you get Platinum is for status and the perks. I don't do it for the rewards, which I doubt most even redeem enough to make it a big deal.
Just a huge believe in the Platinum.
I'm a pretty superficial guy
I wish it did but it doesn't. I'd be more likely getting a hard on out of Bacon.
I canceled my sapphire last week. There are no benefits to the sapphire after you get the sign up bonus.
the 7% year end bonus, and transfer ability.

Movies, books, and songs to capture the essence of Rome and get you in the mood for travel
Rome Open City (1945)
Acclaimed film directed by Roberto Rossellini and co-written by Federico Fellini; about the leader of the resistance movement in World War II Rome, who is hunted by the Gestapo at the end of the conflict. Stars Anna Magnani.
Roman Holiday (1953)
A fairy-tale love story between a princess and an American journalist during one magical day in Rome; Audrey Hepburn's first major film. Also stars Gregory Peck.
La Dolce Vita (1960)
Federico Fellini's classic film chronicling a playboy journalist's hedonistic lifestyle in Rome in the late 1950s. Stars Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimée, Anita Ekberg.
Roma (1972)
A Fellini masterpiece; semiautobiographical tale of a young man coming of age in Rome, juxtaposed with amusing scenes of 20th-century Roman life. Cameos by Marcello Mastroianni, Anna Magnani, and Fellini.
Gladiator (2000)
Gripping drama about a general in ancient Rome who is forced to become a gladiator; includes a striking re-creation of life in the ancient city, along with dramatic battles in the Colosseum. Stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Derek Jacobi.
Best of Youth (2003)
Italian film; epic story of two modern-day Roman brothers, their lives, and their struggles—through Rome, Florence, Ravenna, and much of Italy—from 1966 through 2000. Stars Luigi Lo Cascio, Alessio Boni.
Rome, HBO (2005)
Teeming saga of the Roman empire during the time of Julius Caesar. Dramatic portrait of Rome's battles for power and world domination, with plenty of drama, politics, sex, and violence. Stars Kevin McKidd, Polly Walker, Ciaran Hinds, Ray Stevenson.
Roman Fever, by Edith Wharton (1934)
Gripping novella about two Manhattan widows who meet in Rome and discover that their pasts are intertwined; the title refers to the malaria that affected Rome in the early 20th century.
A Traveler in Rome, by H.V. Morton (1957)
Acclaimed work of historical nonfiction that visits important landmarks in Rome. Charming artifact from the 1950s, in which the author shares his impressions as a traveler to Rome, as well as its historical context, thereby illustrating how the city essentially hasn't changed in centuries.
The Italians, by Luigi Barzini (1964)
A veteran Italian journalist's essayistic interpretation of Italy and its people—very useful in deciphering the Romans. Barzini knew how to look at Italian culture from an American perspective; in his youth he worked for two American newspapers. A primer to the Italian mind and a resource for a visit to Italy's capital.
Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown (2000)
Fast-paced novel by the author of The Da Vinci Code; features intrigue at the Vatican and is largely set in the Holy See and Rome. The descriptions and histories of some of Rome's most famous sites—including Piazza Navona—make it worthwhile.
La Bella Figura–A Field Guide to the Italian Mind, by Beppe Severgnini (2006)
Along the same lines as Barzini's The Italians, this recently published book illuminates the many paradoxes that animate the Italian way of thinking. Italians "think it's an insult to our intelligence to comply with a regulation. Obedience is boring. We want to think about it." A fun must-read for all travelers to Italy.
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia, by Elizabeth Gilbert (2006)
The first third of this nonfiction book celebrates Gilbert's love affair with Roman food and restaurants; funny and poignant portrait of the city's vaunted gastronomy.
Viaggio Italiano by Andrea Bocelli
Collection of Neapolitan classics ("O Sole Mio"), Italian opera arias, and an "Ave Maria."
Caro Amico Ti Scrivo by Lucio Dalla
Top hits by one of Italy's most thoughtful contemporary singer-songwriters.
Italian Café by Putumayo
Compilation of what Putumayo calls "classic and contemporary Italian songs that will transport you to the romantic cafes of Rome, Milan, and Venice."
An Italian Songbook (Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini) by Cecilia Bartoli
Italian bel canto singer Bartoli partners with conductor-pianist James Levine on a selection of Italian opera arias.
Serenata Napulitana by Roberto Murolo
One of Naples' true classicists delivers soulful interpretations of Neapolitan gems—which sound just as wonderful a little farther up the coast in Rome.
Classic Songs:
1. "Roma Non far la Stupida Stasera" ("The Lights of Roma") by Jerry Vale
2. "Vecchia Roma" by Claudio Villa
3. "Arrivederci Roma" by Sergio Franchi

Millions of dollars of race track infrastructure, paid for by Hamilton City ratepayers, has been permanently installed at the redeveloped Pukekohe Park Raceway, with Hamilton receiving a fraction of the value of the transferred assets.
New timing and race control buildings, pits infrastructure, crash barriers and debris fencing are among the assets transferred to Pukekohe for the return of V8 Supercars after an unsuccessful five-year stint in Hamilton.
An Audit New Zealand report into the losses incurred by Hamilton City found that $17,979,000 of the total $37,460,700 cost the event incurred was spent on infrastructure assets.
Those assets were transferred to V8 Supercars for a payment of $1.25 million when Hamilton City exited its seven-year deal to host the event two years early.
V8 Supercars then contributed $2.2 million of the $6.6 million for the upgrade of Pukekohe - a figure which is understood to have included the transferred assets.
The remaining $4.4 million came from Auckland Council's events arm Ateed ($2.2 million) and a one-off central government grant ($2.2 million).
As well as the new buildings, barriers and fencing, the raceway has undergone extensive improvements to the track and pit lane area; earthworks to ease drainage problems and create better viewing areas; the instalment of a new foot bridge to access new viewing areas in the in-field; and a refurbishment of the bleachers seating in the general admission area.
The work was completed by IEDM, a company that builds racetracks for V8 Supercars.
"We had two lists when we started - a wish list and a have- to-have list," said event director Greg Mosen. "We've actually hit both. It's just unbelievable what these guys have done."
The upgrades have seen Pukekohe granted an FIA category three licence, meaning it can host "tin tops" such as the V8s and the less powerful classes of open wheel race cars. "It looks superb," star Kiwi V8 driver Greg Murphy said. "Pukekohe has been in dire need of an upgrade for a very long time. It's getting the investment that it needed a long, long time ago."
The upgrades haven't impressed everybody, with motor cycle racers cancelling a practice day because of concerns over the placement of the new safety barriers on the corner leading into the home straight. Critics have also suggested the upgrade has fallen short of what was promised.
Murphy said it was "easy to throw rocks" and spending public money on events would never please everybody who didn't have a direct interest. "We are not just rev heads hooning around and burning up petrol. We are putting New Zealand and Auckland on the map every time we come here. It's all about TV audiences and exposure. We are a big event and we make a lot of people happy."
The new Puke
*Track increased in length from 2.84 to 2.91km
*Three new turns on the back straight (5,6 and 7), making 11 total
*10,000m2 of new level hardstand area
*7000 cubic metres of bulk earthworks
*New impact absorbing concrete barrier and debris fence
*New race control and timing buildings
*New corporate viewing facility opposite main grandstand
*New pedestrian bridge for access to infield viewing area
*Improved driver safety with revised runoffs, tyre walls, transition kerbs and gravel traps
What it cost
*$6.6 million, consisting of $2.2 million from Auckland Council Events arm Ateed; $2.2 million from central government; and $2.2 from V8 Supercars
*Ateed is also paying a $1 million a year sponsorship fee over five years and has a budget of $550,000 a year for promotional activity, making the total council investment $10.6 million over five years
*Ateed project the event to inject $7 million into the Auckland economy each year and generate close to 50,000 bed nights in the region.

Town Square
Deputy Sheriffs Association blasts sheriff for mailer
Original post made by Left Unsaid, Walnut Creek, on May 30, 2008
A new low in local politics has been reached. Sheriff Rupf has come out with a last-minute hit piece against Mary Piepho.
According to an email from Mary's campaign, "the Sheriff's hit piece is potentially illegal, definitely inaccurate and conflicts with his comments in today's Contra Costa Times.
His mailer was sent too late for us to respond so I ask you to use your grassroots/email network to let people know the truth about Mary's support for public safety.
The Sheriff's budget went up by more than $10 million dollars this year and no sworn officers were laid off."
There is much more to read on this scurrilous attack at Lisa Vorderbrueggen's website Web Link
I urge you to see this for what it is - a last minute attempt to hijack the re-election of Mary Piepho, a highly valued public servant.
The Sheriff should realize that he's going to get a lot of sores on his tongue...
Shame on you, sheriff.

Yep what a jerk! Never liked the guy. He is extrememly arrogant with a very large ego.

on Jun 1, 2008 at 12:40 pm
No...I don't think a new low has been reached in local politics. It's just the same old low by the same old players. The sheriff should stick to his assigned job qualifications and keep his personal opinions to himself. Throwing rocks at our highly qualified Supervisor, Mary Piepho is not appropriate and I would suggest Sheriff Rupf issue a public apologize.

on Jun 1, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Well put Leonard. I don't mind his personal opinion, but when trying to forward it in the capacity of "the Sheriff" is just a bit over the line.

On their seventh full-length studio album, Going Out In Style, Dropkick Murphys throw a new kind of party. It's a raucous and rollicking romp overflowing with punk rock energy, folk soul, and Irish spirit. Fueled by fiery riffs and unforgettable choruses, Going Out In Style traces the journey of Cornelius Larkin, whether it's the Irish immigrant's first person account of his own wake or the band's in depth interpretation of his life and lineage throughout the album's lyrics, it's the party to end all parties.
Dropkick Murphys have many reasons to celebrate. Since they first hit the scene in 1996, the Boston seven-piece have racked up record sales in excess of 3 million worldwide. Their smash hit single "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" exceeded platinum status and was featured in Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning film, The Departed. Their 2007 offering, The Meanest of Times, debuted in the Billboard Top 20, marking the band's highest chart entry to date and heralding the formal arrival of their independent label Born & Bred Records. The band has sold out shows worldwide and cultivated one of the most fervent fan bases in rock music. They even penned the theme song to the first Red Sox World Series win in 86 years. Going Out In Style, their latest on Born & Bred Records, is an opus that's both explosive and endearing.

Well, everything was good !!! I'll recomend this apartament to my friends for shure.:) The flat clear and luxury. Intresting paintings and modern sculptures on the walls , livingroom and sleapingrooms in old style. All flat has an unique climate. Me, my sister and my mother felt there very, very good.!!!! Thanks Clementina, Francesca.
Very nice and roomy apartment with good location, typical italian breakfast, very good communication with the owners.
We had a wonderful time in Rome, thanks !
Dear Clementina,
we enjoyed our stay very much. Your flat is just lovely!! The size, the Location, everything was clean and we had everything we needed. The contact to you was contnuently great, we always had all the information we needed.
Breakfast at Café Doria was fabiolous as well - there you get to know how Italiens live.
Thank you for everything!
Ingken & Julian
What a beautiful apartment! We loved staying here and would strongly recommend this to anyone staying in Rome. Thank you Clementina for hosting us and thank you Francesca for meeting up with us after work. We would deifinitely like to come back to your place next time we will visit Rome.
Beautiful real Italian apartment neat the Vatican. We stayed here for 4 nights and to sum it up: we will definitely come back!
The apartment is spacious with large rooms, good beds and classy furniture. So much better then yet another anonymous hotel.
Airco was working fine in all rooms, a good equipped kitchen and bathroom.
Breakfast-service at Dessia's, a bar at approx 100meters from the apartment, is great as well, a fine start of the day.
The host and her daughter were very clear in their communication and gave us a warm welcome.
It's a 5 minute walk from the apartment to either the Vatican or the Metro, and there are a large amount of restaurants, gelaterias and (super)markets in the neighbourhood.
Highly recommended!!!
The area is ideal for visiting Rome, the building and the apartment are beautiful.
By against certain elements do not conform to such service expected
1- WIFI is off the first 3 days and then slowly and with interruptions. Our grandchildren's could not talk to their parents by SKYPE
2- Crockery insufficient : 4 plates, 4 glass soda for 4 !!) but the dishwasher is 12 cutlery
3- Television with small screen is in the kitchen ... Watching a football game on a steel kitchen chair does not match the comfort research after a day of sightseeing
4- the bedroom on the street is noisy even at night.
Clementina in which we made these remarks was not the gesture of a discount. Despite this we keep a good memory of our week but we will not recommend the apartment to our relationships
Wonderful stay in an apartment off the beaten tourist track, but with easy access to public transport and within walking distance to St. Peter's. Everything in the apartment was in good order including bed linen, towels, soap, dish-washer etc. and the apartment offered a lot of space. We had breakfast offered by our host (every morning in a cafe near by (Coffee and cornetto)) before we started our sight-seeing. One of the biggest (covered)markets of Rome is only a five minutes' walk away, so indulge in buying fresh Italian products and cooking wonderful meals. There are also quite a few osterie, trattorie etc. in the neighborhood where tourists are welcome but not often to be seen.
We enjoyed very much our stay in Rome and in Clementina's appartment. Everything was very nice and clean and we really felt home.
The apartment is beautiful, spacious and very well equipped, and it is perfectly located near the vatican and the metro station.
Clementina was very kind and helpful and so was her daughter who welcomed us.
I can really recommend it.
My parents and I have had an amazing trip to Rome thanks to Clementina and her daughter, Francesca. They were so nice to us. They offer us not only the perfect aparment in the perfect location but also very useful information about Rome and its beautiful places.
Moreover, we had to come back to our country at 5 am and they offer us to call a taxi to pick us to the airport.
If we come back to Rome, we will contact them again.

text: I have been working on a few 5 frame nuc boxes based on the original specs and post by D. Coates. I started visiting a few local construction sites and after a few calls I was able to gather (for free) several partial sheets of 3/4" plywood and some 15/32" plywood. One project was a remodel, and they had 5-6 full sheets of 15/32" new plywood that they were glad to give me. I started making a few boxes and have been experimenting with the original design to suit my needs. I am making 5 frame standard deeps, as well as a few 6 5/8" shallow nucs. The 3/4" boxes are definitely heavy-duty but the 15/32" seems to work well also. In addition I have experimented using 3/4" for the sides and 15/32" for the end panels. Keeping the correct interior dimensions, and the proper bee space is important. I have a few more to make, and then finish up the painting. Someone asked awhile back about an adjustable entrance. I took a couple pictures of some metal entrance reducers I made (with a sliding closure) that I have used on a few hives. I also use these with the Dadant metal mouse guards to minimize the size of the entrance. They work great. No two of these boxes are really identical. I have never attached photo files here but I'll give it a try. Thanks D. Coates for getting me started.

Pape-Dawson donates to UTSA engineering college
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Aug. 6, 2007)--The UTSA College of Engineering recently received $100,000 from Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc. to establish an endowed scholarship. The largest private scholarship donation ever received by the engineering college, it will be used to support eligible students in civil or environmental engineering.

"We see the impact that UTSA is having on San Antonio and recognize the quality of engineering graduates coming out of this university," said Sam Dawson, chief executive officer, Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc. "These students have been academically challenged and are equivalent in ability and potential to some of the graduates we've hired from larger universities in the state."
"We have 70 percent of our students on financial aid and many come from families where the parents have never been to college," said C. Mauli Agrawal, dean of the UTSA College of Engineering. "Pape-Dawson has a long history of support for UTSA, and this donation will help future engineering students for many generations to come to earn a college degree."
The first scholarship recipient is Benjamin Setterbo, a 20-year-old sophomore civil engineering major from Rockport, Texas.
"I am ecstatic and thankful for this scholarship that will help pay for college and help me earn my degree," said Setterbo. "I am also fascinated by the idea that one day I could be driving down the road and see a building that I helped construct."
Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc. provides civil and environmental engineering and related surveying services to the public and private sector throughout South Texas.
UTSA's College of Engineering, one of the nation's leading producers of Hispanic engineers, offers high-quality doctoral, master's and ABET-accredited bachelor's degree programs. The college's four departments -- Biomedical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering -- have prepared thousands of graduates for successful careers in the public and private sectors and higher education. Over the past five years, the college has seen a 90 percent increase in enrollment with more than 2,100 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in its programs.

It was given to me, that's why I feel I should pay it forward and not sell it. The first pm to me gets the lot. I'm not sure what the shipping would be, probably around $30-40.

Marriage of the Virgin
God Dispatching the Archangel Gabriel
Hours of Catherine of Cleves, in Latin
Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves
Purchased on the Belle da Costa Greene Fund and with the assistance of the Fellows, 1963
Created in Utrecht, The Netherlands, around 1440, the manuscript was taken apart sometime before 1856. Its leaves were shuffled and then rebound into two volumes to make each look more or less complete. The first part was acquired by the duke of Arenberg, whose descendants owned it until 1957, when it was bought by New York dealer H. P. Kraus, who sold it to Alistair Bradley Martin. This volume had been known by scholars as the "Hours of Catherine of Cleves."
Meanwhile, the second part had been acquired by the Rothschild family, who kept their manuscripts secret. In 1963 their volume was sold to the Morgan as yet another "Hours of Catherine of Cleves." Studying the newly acquired book (it became MS M.917) along with the Martin volume, Morgan curator John Plummer determined that they were actually two halves of one and the same codex. In 1964 the Morgan mounted an exhibition of both volumes, displaying all the miniatures via color transparencies. When a facsimile of the manuscript was published by George Braziller in 1966, the exhibition was repeated. Finally, in 1970, the Morgan was able to buy the Martin volume (it became MS M.945), and thus came to own both parts of this greatest of all Dutch manuscripts.
Both volumes have been disbound in preparation for rebinding the leaves in proper order.
Hours of the Virgin
The heart of every Book of Hours is the series of prayers called the Hours of the Virgin. Each Hour is composed of psalms plus hymns, biblical readings, and short phrases (antiphons, versicles, and responses). Ideally, these eight Hours were prayed throughout the course of the day:
|Matins and Lauds
|at night or upon rising
|Prime (first Hour)
|at 6:00 a.m.
|Terce (third Hour)
|at 9:00 a.m.
|Sext (sixth Hour)
|at noon
|Nones (ninth Hour)
|at 3:00 p.m.
|Vespers (evensong)
|in the early evening
|before retiring.
The Hours of the Virgin date back to at least the ninth century. By the late twelfth century, the Hours appeared in Psalters, prayer books popular with laypeople. With a rising economy and the growth of the merchant class, the thirteenth century saw an increase in lay literacy. By the middle of the century, the Hours of the Virgin "spun off" from the Psalter and formed the core of the laypeople's prayer book, the Book of Hours.
The Virgin Mary is, of course, not mentioned in the numerous psalms of the Old Testament that comprise much of the Hours. Framing the psalms, however, are prayers that offer a mystical interpretation of the psalms and reveal the role played by the Virgin in mankind's salvation.

For context, I live in the historic townhouse community of Georgetown, in DC, and I have a flat roof upon which I have several hives. Yes, we have had a few swarms, but generally these hives are very well behaved and hard working.
Also for context, the laws about beekeeping here are rather vague and contradictory, leaving us urban beekeepers in a quandary, living in a gray area.
Now for the facts: A neighbor over a block away is claiming he is having an infestation of bees in/on his chimney, and he is blaming my bees. He indicated the infestations occurred within the last six week, with one most recently yesterday.
In my own experience in this climate, swarms are very rare this time of year.
So, beyond the usual "well prove that their my bees" arguments, as that is less relevant as he calls the health department on me, anybody have any additional experience in this area of human relations?

Prime Minister John Key says he does not agree with Labour leader David Shearer's suggestion of moving the New Year's Honours to Waitangi Day - a step he says would politicise the system.
Mr Shearer has used his visit to Waitangi to propose the move, saying it would help ensure Waitangi Day was a genuine day of celebration rather than protesting.
Mr Key said Honours were to recognise the achievement of individuals.
"If we move that to Waitangi Day, it will politicise the process and move the focus of attention completely away from those individuals to whatever grievance is the grievance du jour of that Waitangi Day. And I don't think that honours those people we are trying as fellow New Zealanders to honour for what they have achieved.
Mr Shearer said former Prime Minister Norman Kirk had made Waitangi Day a national holiday in 1974 "to give us a full sense of nationhood".
"We haven't lived up to that. It's become a day of jostling and protest and we focus on that rather than the great things about our country."

Loin of lamb chops (Welsh lamb of course), roast spuds, honey roast parsnips and baby sprouts with a lovely thick gravy. (Unless you can stand your spoon up in the gravy, hubby not interested.) The chops were so succulent. Hit them on the hob to seal then finished off in the oven with a sprig of rosemary tucked under.

Crew members of the Virginia class attack submarine USS Mississippi, (SSN 782), sailed aboard the square-rigged sailing ship HMS Bounty Thursday. The Mississippi crew was invited on the sail by Bounty owner Robert Hansen after he toured the Navy sub base in Groton last year. The crew of the Bounty enlisted the help of the Mississippi crew to raise the sails and trim them during a two-hour sail in Long Island Sound. Bounty captain Robin Wallbridge thanked the Mississippi crew for their help and remarked that the Bounty had now trained crew from both the oldest ship in the Navy, the USS Constitution, as well as the newest, the Mississippi.

When asked who the "next big thing" will be from the 2013 draft class, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco answered with UCLA DL Datone Jones.
Prisco cited Jones' dominant Senior Bowl practices, even when facing Eric Fisher, as evidence. Jones did have a great week of drills and offers a lot of positional versatility in terms of rushing for the edge or inside. Still, he was caught hand fighting too much at UCLA, something that needs to change in order to succeed in the NFL.
Source: CBS Sports
An NFL scout told Brad Briggs that Purdue DT Kawann Short "doesn't play as hard as you would like, not regularly."
"Now, there in the Senior Bowl, he played his a** off," the scout said. "Why did he play hard? Maybe it goes back to mentality. Are you that guy? You are rolling the dice with this kid but let me tell you, he is talented, real talented." The scout went on to add that Short can play across the defensive line but he needs to harness or heighten his motor.
Walterfootball's latest 4 round mock:
1st - Lane Johnson OT, Oklahoma
2nd - Xavier Rhodes CB, FSU
3rd - Kasheem Greene, LB Rutgers
4th - Jordan Hill, DT Penn St.
that's about as good as it gets for me..

So...here we are.
This is bad... It's like when I got my first computer; I stayed up late every night surfing the internet, only to realize a couple of hours before I had to leave for work that I had to sleep. This time it's an Artisan 70D.
OH MAN, am I a knitting fool. Just for a test drive, I made a scarf for a friend at work. She thought it was way cool. My inbox is now an order taking center. Eight down, 5 to go. Not to mention the 4 my partner wants for people at work, the five my mother asked for and the ones my cousin wants to "sell" for me.
Pass the Starbucks...this is going to be a long week.

The dry statement that a catalyst allows an equilibrium to be established more rapidly hardly captures the double magic of that chemical phenomenon. In the course of a reaction, the catalyst gets involved, consumed and then regenerated, touching the deep myths of resurrection, a phoenix arising from its ashes, Persephone returning to earth. And the catalyst that makes a thermodynamically feasible, yet absolutely unwilling reaction go, after oh, so many futile attempts to coax it to do what it must, inevitably evokes the mystery of mountains moved, of shut doors suddenly opening.
This is a story of a catalyst for one of the simplest chemical reactions, the combustion of hydrogen: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. It is also a story of chemistry in culture, of a Russian-German geopolitical tie that, in the 1820s, helped a Jena professor to invent a new way of lighting fires using platinum, normally thought of as the most chemically resistant of metals. So, this is a story of fire too. And one of modern surface chemistry.
Is there a problem with the above reaction, hydrogen burning? The hydrogen-filled balloon set off by a taper is the chemistry lecturer's favorite demonstration. You can vary the effect by adjusting the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in the balloon—pure hydrogen gas (H2) will give you a respectable pop and a neat flame, just a little H2 will simply not go off. The most bang for the buck comes from a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas (O2). I remember waking up sleeping dogs in my class, not to mention students, with this demonstration.
The reaction is highly exothermic: The change in free energy for all gaseous components under standard conditions is a very respectable 229 kilojoules per mole of H2. And all it takes is a lighted taper or match to set it off. So who needs the catalyst?
" . . . a match to set it off." That's just the point: The flame and heat of the match initiate the reaction, after which it indeed proceeds posthaste. The mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, in the absence of that match or of a catalyst, would just sit there. The equilibrium is on the side of water, so much so that at room temperature, at equilibrium in a liter of the mixture, there would be on the average less than one molecule remaining (out of ≈1022 to start with) of unburnt H2. But the reaction is darned slow. At room temperature the collisions of H2 and O2 do not impart (on the average) nearly enough energy to the molecules to stretch their bonds as they approach some transition state for the reaction. To put it another way, the H2 and O2 molecules must be disrupted to react; resisting this, they do not sense the joy that is waiting for them at the end. They need a matchmaker!
We use that molecular torpidity of the uncatalyzed reaction, of course. Otherwise, how could I fill the balloon with H2 and O2 from their tanks, tie a knot sealing the balloon, attach a string to it, carry it to my lecture room and let it dangle for half a lecture, as the students wait for the inevitable explosion?
Hydrogen was first well-identified by Cavendish in 1766. Its burning to water and the parallel and more difficult decomposition of water to H2 and O2 were cornerstones of Lavoisier's chemical revolution. The reaction was just as reluctant to go in the 1780s as it is today. There were no safety matches until 1855. So Lavoisier set it off with an electric spark.
And within 50 years a German chemist, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, used the same H2 and O2 reaction, now catalyzed, as a ready source of . . . fire, replacing other sources, such as the lens that served Lavoisier. For some 40 years Döbereiner's lighter served as an important source for household and industrial fire lighting.
How were fires lit before? From other fires, of course, to begin with. Two further techniques evolved around the world—the first generated heat by rubbing hard wood rapidly against soft, the second created sparks by striking hard stones against stone or metal. In both cases the heat or spark had to be "caught" by a flammable material nearby. Tinder could be most anything organic, but certain dried mushrooms were particularly valued. The ingenuity in the construction of bows for rubbing wood sticks, or the compact steel-silex-tinder kits of 17th-century soldiers is remarkable.
In the 17th and 18th century, as optics evolved, the convex burning glass became an important fire source, albeit a fair-weather one. Sparks also came from the newly discovered electricity. Still another source was invented in 1770 and has a fascinating connection to chemistry and physics. This is the pneumatic lighter, in which the heat generated in a rapidly compressed gas is sufficient to inflame tinder.
Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner was born in Hof an der Saale in Germany in 1780. His beginnings were simple. He was largely self-educated, the son of a coachman. But Döbereiner's talents were recognized, and in 1810 he was appointed to a professorship in Jena. This town was in the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, a princely state under the administration at just that time of another Johann Wolfgang, namely Goethe. Goethe and Döbereiner had an extensive correspondence, inter alia dealing with the tarnishing of silver spoons in red cabbage and the composition of Mme. Pompadour's toothpaste. Goethe went to Jena to study analytical chemistry with Döbereiner. (A contemporary analogue would be if the present French Prime Minister Jospin took off a few weeks to learn about supramolecular chemistry with Jean-Marie Lehn at the University of Strasbourg. It would be good for Jospin, but . . . .)
Döbereiner did much interesting chemistry. For instance, he was responsible for noting an important regularity in the chemistry of the elements, that of triads, one of the forerunners of Mendeleyev's periodic table. And Döbereiner observed in 1823 that when platinum metal (in a finely dispersed form called platinum sponge), was exposed to hydrogen, much heat was generated. The platinum (Pt) in fact glowed red- to white-hot, and if more hydrogen were supplied, the hydrogen burst into a hot but nearly colorless flame.
Within days Döbereiner turned this beautiful observation (which Davy had also made six years before on platinum wires) into a practical lamp. Figure 1 shows the design. One has a bottle that can be tightly sealed. In an open glass cylinder in that bottle hangs a piece of zinc (d). The bottle is filled with sulfuric acid (typically 25 percent sulfuric acid (H2SO4)). There is a controlled outlet from the glass bottle, the stopcock (e). The zinc (Zn) reacts with sulfuric acid, generating hydrogen gas in situ:
Zn + H2SO4 → Zn2+ + SO42- + H2
When the stopcock is opened, the H2 is directed through a thin tube (f) onto a bit of platinum sponge (g). A flame lights, essentially instantaneously. When the stopcock is closed, the flame goes out. More H2 is generated, but comes to a stop as gas pressure builds.
Döbereiner continued his research with the catalytic properties of platinum (the word "catalysis" was coined by Berzelius in 1836); he actually was the first to make a supported catalyst (a mainstay of industrial catalysis and automotive catalytic converters today) by shaping small balls of potter's clay impregnated with platinum. For his work Döbereiner needed great supplies of the precious metal, and a geopolitical footnote is in order here: Platinum originally came from Spanish colonial mines in the New World, and that is presumably Döbereiner's original source. Around 1824 major deposits were discovered in the Urals. How could Döbereiner, who was struggling desperately in his laboratory finances, get the precious white metal? Well, the Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great (1729–1796), was a German princess from the Duchy of Anhalt-Zerbst. There were close Russian-German ties throughout this period, and they continued until the first World War. In Döbereiner's principality, the wife of Carl Friedrich, the then heir to the Grand Duke, was Maria Pavlovna, the daughter of Czar Paul I of Russia. Platinum from the Urals came easily to Jena.
Döbereiner's lamp became a common way to light fires in industrial settings in the first half of the 19th century. Within five years of its discovery 20,000 lamps were in use in Germany and England. It entered the middle-class home as well. (Nothing like this could happen today; imagine the horror of today's risk-avoiding society at the thought of filling a lamp with sulfuric acid!) And when a utilitarian technology is accepted into society, it is culturally processed. What I mean is that it is clothed according to the prevalent aesthetics of the time. In 1829 a Berlin manufacturer could offer "… as a pleasant and useful Christmas present a lighting machine, outfitted with platinum, elegant, clean, and sturdily constructed, with Chinese and other decoration, insensitive to wetness and cold…." Figure 2 shows a household Döbereiner lamp of the 19th century.
In time the safety match, the cerium frictional spark source (see Primo Levi's Ce chapter in his Periodic Table), the cigarette lighter and the gas stove electronic lighter put Döbereiner's lamp into the museum.
One hundred seventy-two years later, in 1995, Laurens K. Verheij and Markus B. Hugenschmidt write:
In recent years many studies on the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen on metal surfaces have been reported. Although this reaction is expected to be one of the simplest oxidation reactions, rather complex phenomena are observed which make a determination of the reaction mechanism difficult. Even for the water formation reaction on Pt(111), the system which has been most widely studied, an understanding of the reaction process seems only just emerging.
Here is a sketchy summary of what modern surface chemistry, with its expensive arsenal of ingenious spectroscopies, has taught us about the water-forming reaction on clean single-crystal surfaces of platinum under high vacuum: Both O2 and H2 undergo "dissociative chemisorption" on a platinum surface (under the conditions of Döbereiner's lighter the H2 would impinge on a platinum surface already exposed to the oxygen of the air). The following reactions summarize what happens:
O2 + Pt → Pt-O2 → Pt-O (a)
H2 + Pt → Pt-H (a)
Here the (a) stands for an atomic or molecular species adsorbed on the surface. And the notation hides much interesting detail: For instance, is there a "precursor state" in which H2 molecules bond to the surface before the H–H bond is broken? Where exactly, and in what geometry, does the H atom sit on the surface—is it above a single platinum atom, or bonded to two or three platinum atoms? The same questions may be asked for O2.
We know some, only some, of the answers. At low temperatures, way below room temperature, the O2 is bonded to the surface first as a molecule, and in no less than three different ways. As one heats up the surface, the diatomic (O2) ruptures into individual oxygen atoms, which sit bonded to triangles of platinums. At ambient temperatures, it is not likely that an O2 coming onto the surface survives very long before it breaks apart. The hydrogen molecules break apart even more readily on the surface. A consensus is emerging that on the surface, the Pt-bonded oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms cluster, or form islands of Pt-O(a) and Pt-H(a).
Recently, there appeared two beautiful papers illustrating the immense complexity of a step as seemingly simple as the breakdown of an oxygen molecule into individual oxygen atoms on a platinum surface. One paper comes from the group of Gerhard Ertl at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, the other from my colleague at Cornell, Wilson Ho, and his coworkers. Figure 3 shows an image from the latter group's paper of oxygen molecules and atoms adsorbed onto a platinum surface, made at atomic resolution with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The molecules are the light spots, and they come in two types— "pear like" (labeled F in the figure) and "clover-leaf" (labeled B) shapes. Please don't worry that the shapes don't look like the O2 dumbbell you expect. The STM technique does not really "see," for instead of sensing the position of the nuclei, it measures the flow of electrons from the STM instrument tip into available orbitals in the oxygen atoms or molecules. The orbitals (calculating them is my stock-in-trade) describe quantum mechanically where the electrons are. A clover-leaf pattern turns out to be exactly what one would expect—it confirms that these are O2 molecules. The darker individual circles (marked o) are oxygen atoms formed by molecules falling apart on the surface. Note the clustering of adsorbed molecules and atoms into islands, oriented along privileged directions of the platinum surface underneath.
Incidentally, one could have imagined that either H2 or O2 (but not both) first bond to the surface and break up. And then water might be formed directly, the Pt-H(a) or Pt-O(a) approached by a gas phase O2 or H2 molecule, respectively, without the latter bonding to the surface. This apparently does not happen; can you think of an experiment to test such a mechanism?
The next stage still remains a mystery. The most likely scenario is that on the surface a chemisorbed hydrogen atom diffuses out of its safe island, over to at Pt-O island, and reacts, forming a surface-coordinated hydroxyl Pt-OH(a). Subsequently, that species picks up a second hydrogen, and water is released. And the catalyst, Pt, gets to work on the next molecule.
Remarkable, isn't it, how old technologies link up to contemporary science? Actually behind Döbereiner's invention was cutting-edge science of its day—it was reported in several journals in Germany, France and England within weeks. And Berzelius, in a series of influential annual reports on the progress of chemistry, writes the year after:
From any point of view the most important, and, if I may use the expression, the most brilliant discovery of last year is, without doubt, that fine platinum powder has the ability to unite oxygen and hydrogen even at low temperatures.
One hundred seventy-five years later, we are still studying the intricacies of water burning. The wonder of platinum glowing in a stream of hydrogen remains. Imagine a contemporary surface chemist coming into an antique shop in Saxony, and feeling a magical connection, yet not knowing exactly why, to that mysterious object—a Döbereiner lamp in a display case.

Not sure if this is in the right forum but I'll post and see. Does anyone rent hives to individuals for personal garden pollination and enjoyment? If so, how have you advertised your service and has it been successful?
Not sure if this is in the right forum but I'll post and see. Does anyone rent hives to individuals for personal garden pollination and enjoyment? If so, how have you advertised your service and has it been successful?
I mentioned that I was looking into keeping bees on another forum. Several of the people there I know locally and a few of them said they would like to have bees. I shared the link to this group with them and every one of them said. "Oh I don't have time for all of that right now" But they would still like to have bees. SInce I want more hives than I can keep on my property I have been thinking of asking them if I can place a hive on their property. I will pay for the hive maintain it etc. and they are welcome to any honey. I want the wax and bees. Basically the more hives I can put together the better my odds at being able to keep all the hives going. I can make my own nucs etc.
One problem I see right off the bat is that it maximizes the cost in every way for each hive. IN short I am not sure it would be worth the effort to travel to different locations just for one or two hives.
I keep bees for several clients who buy my whole crop at close to retail. They buy several hundred pounds bottled in the $7+ dollar a pound range, unlabeled. I pay all the hive costs but if more call, I am going to make them foot the bill for the new hives.
I tried to "rent" out garden hives to people in town in Oklahoma City. It lasted one season....and never again going to do it. First....the homeowner never was around for me to get to the backyards to do any maintenance on the hive....and then they had a dog outside that wouldn't let me in the yard...(and they didn't have a dog when I placed the hive). Then the homeowners wanted to know how much Sevin dust they can use on their flowers to kill off the insects that were eating them up...and that was a battle. Then the kids "accidently" knocked over the garden hive (I used NUCs) with a basketball, while playing in the backyard...and that was the mess from H#**. After that....I gave back 1/2 of the money and said the bees had to go home to my house. And by the time you figure in the gas, labor, and only working a single hive...it wasn't cost effective for me. That is my rant....and sticking to it.
I have been wondering the same thing about having people sponsor hives. It appears that some beekeepers do this, but not sure it is worth the effort. Has anyone been happy with their arrangement of sponsored hives?
See post #3. It has been working well for me, but with very wealthy clients, probably over 10K sales doing that this year. I had two sites with poor production and of course on those it did not pay. On the sites with good crops I am earning similar hourly wages as I charge in my landscape business, and the honey is pre-sold at almost retail. So far the clients have bought the whole crop, several hundred pounds, but I wonder how many years they will continue to do so. It would not pay as well if I properly figured in my hive costs, which I for the most part have already paid for over the last 40 years. If you built new hives and bought the bees there would be a few years just to re-coup those costs.
i rent to a golf course and charge them $45 a hive a month minimum 2 hives year round, they get 90% of honey in bulk, i have another client who pays $25 and they get 50% of honey, if they want it bottled thats a separate bill. one thing you should make clear is that you want full access at least 5 days a week, i also let them know that quantity depends on mother nature, other factors are gas and in my case flying golf balls, you must have strong replacements if one of them go south, i could probably get more but the other advantages are swarms from other hives, boost in honey sales, iv gotten free equipment, and getting your name out there.
A couple of years ago I posted an ad on the billboard of a local grocery store. I stated simply that I was looking for anyone that would be willing to let place up to 5 beehives on their property. After receiving 6 responses in the first week I talked to all the property owners and told them that I simply needed the extra space since I had too many hives on my own property at that time. Five of the six were willing to let me place hives on their property simply because they thought that it would help the bee population in their area and they were concerned with all of the news they were hearing about the troubles that bees were having.
I chose three of the locations after I looked at the area where they said I could place the hives. All of the locations are between three and five miles from my house and are therefor quick and easy to get to. All have produced extra honey that I wouldn't otherwise have gotten. With the number of hives at each location I can quickly see when one or more of the hives are having problems and need to be boosted by transferring frames from the stronger hives. I also have the extra hives to make nucs or splits from in the spring.
Over the years I've had one owner ask me a couple of times for honey, but never more than a quart at a time.
In my opinion, I think its a great arrangement for all involved, particularly me.
Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken!
You have had some good advice so far. I have done what you are asking about. But, I found it to be more trouble than it is really worth. You end up with a few hives here and a few there. It makes inspections and care of the hives agrivating. You have to plan ahead try to antiipate everything you might need. If you can find a few places close to your house it maybe worth it. I met some nice people doing this and now have more out yards than I need. So I have gained some from doing it.
One other side thing I learned from doing this was is I now have a better idea of the honey flow in my area. Each area has a little different flow.
Hello, we have four acres in the Avra Valley Marana AZ and would like to rent FREE, a part of our land to a Beekeeper to place their hives.
We have planted over fifty trees in the area as well as many flowering plants.

text: New beekeeper here. I have two new hives that are about two weeks old. I have a medium super with Pierco frames ready to go for both of them but have been intrigued by the ross round system. I am not even quite sure if I will have any honey to harvest this year because they are new hives but was curious about your opinions on what kind of supers I should be using. Can you mix different kinds of supers on hives? How may supers do you think I will need this first season? I originally purchased one brood chamber and one super for each hive thinking that was going to be enough for the season but after doing al ot of reading here and at other websites I am getting more hopeful on my possible yield!

Police have this morning found the Toyota RAV 4 owned by Shalvin Prasad, whose body body was found in a fire near Auckland.
The vehicle was located after a member of the public noticed it outside an industrial premises on Plunkett Ave, Papatoetoe.
It has been seized and "will be subject to an extensive forensic examination", police said in a statement.
Detectives are trying to establish how long the vehicle was parked in the area and have appealed for information from nearby business owners.
CCTV footage from businesses on Plunkett Ave will also be investigated.
Today would have been Mr Prasad's 22nd birthday and his family has asked for privacy as they prepare for his funeral.
His body was identified by police after being found in a scrub fire near McRobbie Rd in Kingseat on Thursday morning.
Police believe Mr Prasad was killed by the fire and an accelerant was used.
His brother, Pravin Prasad, yesterday released a statement from the family appealing for information about his brother's killers.
"I would like to say a few words about my brother Shalvin. He is the youngest child. Family and friends are the centre of his world. He loves to play soccer and enjoyed his job. He is probably the most innocent and naive 21-year-old you could meet," he said.
"Anyone who has seen his RAV 4 please come forward. Any of his friends who saw or spoke to Shalvin in the 48 hours before he went missing please call police, the more information the better."
Shalvin was born in Fiji and worked as a produce assistant at Botany Pak'nSave supermarket.
Detective Inspector Dave Lynch of Counties-Manukau Police said Shalvin had been at soccer practice on Wednesday evening.
He returned home but left again about 8.30pm, telling his family he was going to play pool in South Auckland.
He sent a text about 9.30pm saying he would be home by 10.30pm.
When he did not return by 2am, they called the police.
A member of the public found his body in the scrub fire about 6.30am on Thursday.
"Based upon what we now know about Shalvin, coupled with the fact his vehicle and some personal possessions are still missing, it is believed that another person or persons are involved in his disappearance and death," Mr Lynch said.
"One thing in particular on that [Wednesday] afternoon is of interest to us but we are not making it public at this time."
There was no indication he had been involved in drugs or had any debts, Mr Lynch said.
Area enquires completed by police have also established that two vehicles left McRobbie Rd at high speed on Thursday morning about 6.30am just prior to the arrival of the first police vehicle.
Both vehicles carried on straight through the intersection into Kingseat Rd travelling in the Pukekohe direction. One vehicle was described as blue/silver in colour and the other was white.
"This is a remote location and both drivers will be well aware that their vehicles will be of interest to the investigation," Mr Lynch said.
"The longer they wait to come forward will increase the level of interest police have in them and we urge them to contact us as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should call police on 09 295 0311 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Kidney Function and Disease
Your kidneys filter extra water and wastes out of your blood and make urine. They also help control your blood pressure and make hormones that your body needs to stay healthy.
If your kidneys don't work properly, harmful waste products can build up in your body and cause serious health problems.
Kidney disease (also known as "renal disease") is an important complication of HIV infection. Up to 30 percent of people living with HIV have abnormal kidney function, which can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the complete or almost complete failure of the kidneys to work. This can require dialysis or a kidney transplant. Untreated kidney problems can be fatal.
Are You at Risk?
If you have HIV, you are more likely to develop kidney disease if you:
- Are African American
- Have diabetes
- Have high blood pressure
- Are older
- Have a lower CD4 count (below 200 cells/mm3)
- Have a higher viral load
- Have Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C
For more information, see the National Kidney Disease Education Programs' About Kidney Disease.
Signs and Symptoms
Unfortunately, early kidney disease has no symptoms. If your kidneys are not working properly, they may suffer serious damage before you begin experiencing problems. That's why it's so important for your healthcare provider to test your kidney function on a regular basis.
A urinalysis is the most common test used to check kidney function. Your healthcare provider will order this test to check your urine for a number of things, including protein, ketones, and sugar. Protein in your urine is a sign that your kidneys are not working the way they should. Ketones and sugar in your urine are markers for diabetes—a major cause of kidney disease.
What Role Does HIV Play in Kidney Disease?
Kidney disease is common in people living with HIV/AIDS—up to 30% have abnormal kidney function. HIV can affect your kidneys in many different ways, but the most common are HIV-associated nephropathy and nephrotoxicity.
HIV Associated Nephropathy (HIVAN)
HIVAN is damage to your kidneys caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) itself. African American men with HIV/AIDS seem to be most at risk for developing HIVAN. It is most common in patients with CD4 counts less than 200 cells/mm3, but it can occur at any CD4 count.
HIVAN is extremely uncommon in individuals with HIV who have a suppressed viral load (a low amount of HIV in their blood). Therefore, if you have HIVAN, it is very important to be started on antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the earliest sign of kidney problems—and to stay on it—no matter what your CD4 count is. Research shows that people who have HIVAN can stay healthy and live longer by staying on ART.
"Nephrotoxicity" is a term that means "toxicity or injury to the kidneys." For people living with HIV/AIDS, nephrotoxicity can be an adverse side effect of certain HIV medications, including protease inhibitors and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs—commonly called "nukes").
Your kidneys clear many medications from your body, so if your kidneys aren't working properly, your healthcare provider may need to adjust the HIV meds that you are taking. Sometimes that means changing which HIV meds you take; other times it means changing your dosage. Work with your healthcare provider to find a treatment regimen that works for you.
For more information, see The Body's HIV and Kidney Disease .
HIV Treatment and Kidney Disease
Thanks to scientific advances in effective ART, people with HIV are living longer. But as people with HIV live longer, kidney problems may increase. While widespread access to and earlier initiation of ART has led to a decrease in HIVAN, other causes of kidney disease persist and, in some cases, are on the rise.
For example, in the U.S., people who are infected with HIV are three times more likely to develop hypertension (high blood pressure) and are four times more likely to develop diabetes than uninfected individuals. Both hypertension and diabetes are common causes of end-stage renal disease.
In addition, about 25% of people living with HIV in the United States are co-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), an inflammation of the liver that causes a chronic infection. HCV is associated with several types of kidney disease.
People living with HIV can also develop kidney disease caused by side effects of medication, including some antiretroviral (ARV) medications, as noted above.
For these reasons, it is very important to work closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your HIV treatment and ensure your kidneys stay healthy.

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 2
Blend buttermilk, hot sauce (or cayenne), oregano, chili powder and garlic salt in a shallow dish. Pulse cornflakes in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Transfer to a large plate. Pulse pecans in the food processor until coarsely chopped; mix the pecans with the cornflake crumbs. (Alternatively, place cornflakes in a sealable bag and crush with a rolling pin; chop nuts with a knife.)
Step 3
Dip each catfish fillet in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the cornflake mixture, coating both sides. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake the catfish for 25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

I have one very strong hive and one fairly weak hive. In fact I have been adding honey boxes because all frames are full of bees to the point of having three honey supers on the strong hive.
Now, Can I take a honey super full of bees and simply place it on the weak hive to strengthen it or will the bee's just go back to the old hive????
