I was elected Dean of the Cathedral in December, 2008. I am passionate about building relationships rooted in the love of God so that the relationship is transformational for all involved. I enjoy strategic thinking and planning so that the Cathedral becomes more fully the happening spot in downtown St. Pete for lively learning, most excellent liturgical worship and heartwarming fellowship…a place where people have fun engaging God in Christ!
I came to the cathedral in May of 2016 to help broaden the Cathedral’s reach into the St. Petersburg downtown community. My passion is to open wide the love of God as known in Jesus to all I meet. I am excited about the opportunity we have as the Cathedral to reclaim and reimagine our presence in this city and the lives of our neighbors.
I began praying with my family at St. Peter's Cathedral over the summer of 2017. We sought and found a progressive and inclusive church that also values the beauty of formal Episcopal liturgy. I am pleased to serve at the altar on Sundays at the Cathedral, along with offering occasional opportunities in formation. During the week I can be found at Berkeley Preparatory School, where I serve as school chaplain.
I have been at the Cathedral since 2001, with many of those years being “in the pew.” My priestly ministry on staff has been since 2012. My primary role as Precentor involves planning liturgies and coordinating our guilds involved in worship. While pastoral care is shared among all the clergy, it is also the primary focus of my ministry. I love serving at the Cathedral “seasonally” from November through May. If I weren’t at the altar, I’d be singing in the choir!
I fell in love with the Episcopal Church and its music while in graduate school, and have been at the Cathedral since 2009. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with the Cathedral congregation who support and appreciate the gift of music, and recognize how music can change lives and bring us closer together as a community.
I have been at the Cathedral as a parishioner since 1986 and came on staff in 2011. In my work with Publications, I work on a variety of projects ranging from bulletins for worship and weddings, coordinating with the Altar Guild, and updating monthly intercessions for birthdays, anniversaries and deaths. I also love rehearsing for and singing in the Cathedral, Chamber, and Festival Choirs.
I have been attending the Cathedral with my family since September 2017. We love the sense of hospitality and welcome at the Cathedral, especially for our young children. I love being a part of Children’s Ministry and believe that an important part of faith formation begins with children experiencing God’s unconditional love for them through the relationships they build at church.
I am passionate about mentoring and advocating for today’s youth, as well as those who have been marginalized, and being an encouraging voice to the people God places in my path. I am excited about what God has done and will do through the Cathedral family, as well as the impact that will prayerfully ripple into the city of downtown St. Petersburg, and beyond.
I am excited to join the Cathedral Church of St. Peter to create a new choir for children of all ages, and to network with the many arts and civic organizations in the thriving downtown St. Petersburg community and beyond to foster mutually beneficial and exciting relationships centered around music and the arts.
The Chapter is the 12-member lay board of directors that, with the dean, sets policy, watches the finances, and supports the spiritual life of the congregation. Each year four new members are elected to three-year terms.

Meh..... Not many good rolls there.
I opened two supercontainers yesterday.
This is the second time I got a Premium ship in the last 3~years. The other was the Warspite.
Yours seemed a bit down on luck though. Regular flags have no business being in a supercontainer as far as I'm concerned. It always feels like a slap in the face when you get a supercontainer expecting some exciting reward but you get 100 November Foxtrots (-5% to consumable reload) instead.
Gratz on the Perth! I love the ship, just don't get to give it enough attention because there is always something else needing more attention. I can not wait until I am at a spot in the game to grind up my Perth captain to 19 points and go to town. Good luck with her and gratz again!
Last three have been coal, the one before that was 50 flags of some sort.
If I get another Tier X ship by the 28th, and that SC is also coal? I will be adding another container for the Salem. I find them to be underwhelming most of the time.
Yeah I had pretty much the same results....did get 1500 steel though.

At all times, Muslims should follow the commands of the Qur'an (-31) to "lower their gaze and guard their modesty...." Islam recognizes that we are human and are given to human weakness, so this rule provides safeguards for our own sake. Muzammil Siddiqui answers " Muslims should have good elations with all people, males as well as females. Akhdan are sweethearts or for a man a mistress and for a woman a lover.
African-American Muslims, as well as Arab and Asian immigrants from cultures that practice arranged marriages--are now unenthusiastic to do the same for their own children.
In an arranged marriage, a Muslim family usually investigates the prospective candidate further - talking with teachers, professors, employers, friends, family, Imams, colleagues, etc. It is a well-known fact that Islamic religious or cultural events are often segregated by gender?
In Islam consent is very important- that is neither women nor men can be married against their will.
In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think.
Qur'an There are clear verses in the Quran against the natural results of dating; from the seemingly innocent kiss to the more obvious.Parents have the support of the community in finding spouses for their children.Relatives, networking, social gatherings particularly weddings, make arranging marriages easier.A question arises as to how they met each other before their marriage? They had probably met at work and dated each other.In the past Muslims did not date because of arranged marriages.The first group is "Strict Muslims" who date halal (in an Islamically permissible style).

Pro Drainage Solutions installs Sump pumps wired into a house's main electrical system, but it's important for us to include some kind of power backup as well. Many sump pumps in Cotton Plant, AR use car style batteries as a power backup, but if you don't like the idea of having a battery in your basement, we can install a sump pump that is run off the water pressure in your home.
Some people use a five gallon bucket for their sump pit, Pro Drainage Solutions feels this can in fact cause problems in the long run because there is not enough room for the sump pump to work properly. In Cotton Plant, AR, Pro Drainage Solutions makes sure your sump pit is at least 18 inches across and 22 inches or more deep can keep this problem from happening.

Every business owner looks forward to their company’s growth and expansion. Whether it’s adding more products and services, expanding into a new market, or offering new sales channels, growth is always a welcome change. However, it’s unfortunate to see some businesses not taking full advantage of the opportunities available to them.
When the peak of a business’s life cycle approaches, warehouses often start to reach their full capacity. With pickers wasting time looking for SKUs and pallets piling up in the aisle, it’s not hard to see why the prospect of growth doesn’t sound as rosy as it once was. Records show that warehouses reaching past their 80-90% capacity will start to reduce productivity.
The perennial problem of choosing the right storage systems manufacturer and finding the right solutions may be solved by understanding available options and their best uses.
Known as one of the most versatile and durable storage systems, pallet racking can maximise space and allow for more goods to be stored. It comes in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different types of inventory.
This is the most basic and most affordable type of warehouse storage. It uses no extra equipment and allows for pallets to be stacked. It does come with a few downsides, though, such as possible product damage, low space utilisation, and an increased chance of toppling.
Compared to pallet racking, shelving is smaller and is used in spaces where space utilisation is important, particularly in cases where it comes at a premium. You have two classes to choose from, industrial and wide span shelving. They use drawers and dividers to increase storage capacity and maximise vertical space.
Your choice of storage solution should also depend on a number of other factors, including consistency of product sizes, warehouse space, and SKU quantity. There are different warehouse storage options, but the best part is you can combine them to get the perfect solution for your business.

While there are other clay pot spots in Chinatown, the Ga Ga guys have serious clay game and really wowed in this department as each spoonful upon spoonful scraped up edging as perfectly crunchy as a Waffle House hash brown.
One local outfit actively fighting food waste is the Massachusetts chapter of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, which matches organizations with leftovers to charitable organizations that can use the extras and organizes volunteers to transport it all.
Between the friendly folks behind the counter, the tasty and inexpensive food, the easy parking and access from the Green Line, there’s definitely a lot to like about one of the Boston area’s newest Greek restaurants.
I’ve had other CBD roasts, and as a pot- and coffee-head I get the feel for the concept. The offering from Green Roads, which is based in Florida and distributes around the country, has a nice aroma with strong earthy notes.
Spicy duck heads, chicken gizzards, and pig’s ears in chili oil, oh my!

Former Ulster Unionist leader Sir Reg Empey has claimed that Sinn Fein’s demand for an Irish language act is “less about recognition and more about trying to impose an ideology that decades of brutal terror could not”.
The House of Lords peer made the remarks yesterday in the wake of an article penned by Sinn Fein MLA Declan Kearney.
In the piece, which was published on EamonnMallie.com on Monday, Mr Kearney said implementation of an Irish language act “is central to parity of esteem, and proper, official acceptance of the Irish national identity in the North of Ireland”.
However, Lord Empey claimed Sinn Fein is using the issue of an Irish language act as a way to divide the people of Northern Ireland, rather than unite them.
He added: “Sinn Fein clearly need reminding that they are not the gatekeepers of equality and human rights. We must never forget that Sinn Fein were willing and enthusiastic apologists for decades of human rights abuses perpetrated by the IRA.
“It is hard to escape the conclusion that this is less about recognition and more about trying to impose an ideology that decades of brutal terror could not.
Lord Empey also accused the republican party of “desperately trying to pursue De Valera’s ideal of recreating a mythical nation of true bred gaels, fluent in their ancient tongue – a tongue precious few of them can speak”.
He added: “The sub-text is clear. Those who do not speak Irish or who do not regard it as part of their identity and heritage are not truly Irish.
In his article, Mr Kearney also wrote: “An Ireland of equals will only come about once partition has been ended and a national democracy is achieved.
TUV leader Jim Allister said Mr Kearney’s comments should demonstrate to unionists that “Stormont for Sinn Fein is a waiting room for Irish unity”.

A photograph published on the front page of the New York Times on May 25, 2016, and many other media outlets, showing Syrian refugee Nidhal Al Harfoush, 36, and his two daughters Ghadeer, 7, and Gharam, 6, carrying their belongings as they walked towards Greek policemen, during the evacuation of the makeshift camp in Idomeni, is the starting point of this story. This picture gave the a opportunity to the family to find a home in Nea Karvali, a town close to the city of Kavala. Α Spanish volunteer, who had met the father and daughters during their days in Idomeni, recognised them and after a short inquiry about their transference conditions, he had eventually managed to find them a home, through the Spanish NGO “Himaya.” On November 22, 2015, wife of Nidhal, Wafaa, left Syria and after a long journey managed to reach Germany. Today, Nidhal, Ghadeer and Gharam live along with other three Syrians and a newborn child at a house rented by “Himaya”. The neighbours are friendly towards them and the girls take walks and play at the swings around the house. Their father tries to fill the void of their mother’s absence. He takes them to the park, plays with them, bathes them, puts them to bed. In the evening he exchanges messages with his wife hoping they will reunite quickly. He misses her a lot and the girls keep asking about their mother. But time passes slowly. Nidhal will have his first interview for asylum in Greece in February 2017 and then he will have to wait to be relocated.
Lignite is considered the black gold of Greece and renders the country more energy independent. The largest lignite deposit of Greece is concentrated in the area that extends from Florina to Ptolemaida in western Macedonia. Entire villages such as Charavgi, Klitos and Komanos are expropriated and their inhabitants are removed so that the mines are extended. Thousands of people work every day under harsh conditions in a landscape where black dominates. Smeared faces where only the eyes stand out, ash, dust and dense clouds of smoke from burning coal cover the sky. Men, who work every day in the most dangerous posts of the power plant, clean the conveyor belts from the ash and scoop out the dust from the lignite, wearing only a simple protective mask. According to the president of the workers, “Life expectancy for those working in the lignite center 67 years compared to the average in rest of the country which is around 10 years more.
Known in Greece as Evzones, the soldiers comprising the presidential guard – a term dating back to Homer, meaning the “well-girt” men, implying an elite status – are a symbol of discipline. The unit is often referred to as “the jewel of the Greek army”, and rightly so. Their primary mission is to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier around the clock, which may seem like a piece of cake, except it isn’t. During their watch, they have to remain completely motionless and stand at attention at all costs in all kinds of weather, even then during violent demonstrations. As a sign of respect to this select unit, the presidential guard is also in charge of the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag on the sacred rock of the Acropolis.
Akis Andreou, 55, has been performing stunts since he was 17 and in 2006 set up the Wall of Death, a narrow wooden barrel 5.5 metres high and 9 meters wide. Andreou, one of the few remaining performers of such motorcycle stunts in Greece and one of only two owners of these barrels, does other odd jobs to earn a living during winter, when the Wall is closed due to weather conditions.

a photograph published on the front page of the new york times on may 25, 2016, and many other media outlets, showing syrian refugee nidhal al harfoush, 36, and his two daughters ghadeer, 7, and gharam, 6, carrying their belongings as they walked towards greek policemen, during the evacuation of the makeshift camp in idomeni, is the starting point of this story. this picture gave the a opportunity to the family to find a home in nea karvali, a town close to the city of kavala. α spanish volunteer, who had met the father and daughters during their days in idomeni, recognised them and after a short inquiry about their transference conditions, he had eventually managed to find them a home, through the spanish ngo “himaya.” on november 22, 2015, wife of nidhal, wafaa, left syria and after a long journey managed to reach germany. today, nidhal, ghadeer and gharam live along with other three syrians and a newborn child at a house rented by “himaya”. the neighbours are friendly towards them and the girls take walks and play at the swings around the house. their father tries to fill the void of their mother’s absence. he takes them to the park, plays with them, bathes them, puts them to bed. in the evening he exchanges messages with his wife hoping they will reunite quickly. he misses her a lot and the girls keep asking about their mother. but time passes slowly. nidhal will have his first interview for asylum in greece in february 2017 and then he will have to wait to be relocated.

Here is this month’s food that we are highlighting a specific topic of sleep. There are 3 foods that help you sleep better that you do not read about enough. If you noticed, we specifically chose fruits as they get no love when it comes to having the anti-inflammatory conversation. Fruits get a bad rap due to the high sugar content but do not let that fool you.

"Medical Waste Contamination" by Meghan Goodwin, Richard Grady et al.
With the medical field advancing, prescriptions and other medicines are becoming more common and are increasing biomedical waste. These drugs are leaching into our water resources through improper disposal such as rinsing them down a sink, throwing them into household trash, or directly depositing them into the environment. At Worcester Polytechnic Institute this is a problem because students do not have access to proper disposal methods. They are adding to the wastewater problem instead of helping it. Our methods to change WPI’s effect on the problem were conducted through research and a survey of students’ pharmaceutical waste habits. We learned the best solution is to install drop-boxes on campus. In order to solve this problem, we need to start small.

I appear to be a female, black American Pit Bull Terrier.
I have been at the shelter since Sep 10, 2018.
Oakie is super sweet gal! She's gentle and affectionate but still has a fun-loving playful side. She loves older children, but is not a fan of other dogs or cats. She has a moderate energy level, meaning she can be rambunctious but still has good manners - isn't a jumper or a barker. She is about 4 years old, already spayed, and current on vaccines. She loves to cuddle on the couch and give kisses to her humans. Oakie is in a foster home, so you would need to make an appointment to meet her.

Not because I’m exhausted from watching both full football matches last night, (with both matches going to extra time!), but because I didn’t attend yesterday’s democracy protest.
I’m a permanent resident of Hong Kong now, and almost every issue that over 100,000 people marched for yesterday was for my benefit. I believe in what the protesters marched for and I selfishly made the choice not to attend.
I did have a really fun family day, with swimming and playing with dolls with my daughter. I play with dolls more than most adults should… I loved yesterday. However, there were more important issues at hand. I should have joined my fellow Hong Kongers on the street and I won’t make that mistake again.
We have recently seen the power of the people in Hong Kong, with a group called Scholarism, that forced the Education Bureau to back down over it’s planned national education curriculum in 2012, and this group is once again a major player in this fight for democracy.
It will be very interesting what happens with this and the OccupyCentral campaign. It seems that we have a big fight on our hands, and I for one feel very appreciative of the thousands of people who stood up on our behalf yesterday.
How about you? Did you attend the protest? If so, how was it? If not, do you regret not doing so?
I was listening, today, to an in depth commentary on what was happening in HK; love NPR, very informative. If I had been in HK I most surely would have joined in and protested. What China is trying to do, albeit with some semblance of subtlety, is turn HK into another one of its puppet-states. I think this is an outrage and it would break my heart to see anything change what HK is.
I wish, as I am sure many in HK do, that it were still in British hands. China is just the worst type of government imaginable; as long as those at the top reap rewards, to hell with the rest. China does not have the capacity to treasure the Pearl that it is in possession of with HK.
I truly feel that everyone in HK has to continuously be on gaurd and ready to speak out/ protest so as to never seem complacent, that would be a grievous error and China will take any form of complacency as acceptance of their policies.
To everyone in HK I have to say “Bon courage!” Stay strong and do not accept anything less than what already is. China is all about removing freedoms, do not let them.

To start off, 2009 Cadillac Escalade is newer by 7 year(s). Which means there will be less support and parts availability for 2002 Acura CL. In addition, the cost of maintenance, including insurance, on 2002 Acura CL would be higher. At 6,161 cc (8 cylinders), 2009 Cadillac Escalade is equipped with a bigger engine. In terms of performance, 2009 Cadillac Escalade (403 HP @ 5700 RPM) has 143 more horse power than 2002 Acura CL. (260 HP @ 6900 RPM). In normal driving conditions, 2009 Cadillac Escalade should accelerate faster than 2002 Acura CL. With that said, vehicle weight also plays an important factor in acceleration. 2009 Cadillac Escalade weights approximately 1029 kg more than 2002 Acura CL. So despite on having greater horse power, its additional weight may have an impact towards its acceleration in comparison.
Because 2009 Cadillac Escalade is four wheel drive (4WD), it will have significant more traction and grip than 2002 Acura CL. In wet, icy, snow, or gravel driving conditions, 2009 Cadillac Escalade will offer significantly more control. With that said, do keep in mind that many other factors such as speed and the wear on your tires can also have significant impact on traction and control. Let's talk about torque, 2009 Cadillac Escalade (565 Nm @ 4400 RPM) has 250 more torque (in Nm) than 2002 Acura CL. (315 Nm @ 3500 RPM). This means 2009 Cadillac Escalade will have an easier job in driving up hills or pulling heavy equipment than 2002 Acura CL.

Memorizing this verse was an assignment my father, the minister, gave to a class of 7-9 year olds at Piney River Church of Christ near Dickson, TN. The language of the King James version made the message was largely unaccessible to me. I understood the general gist of the verse – that scripture was written to teach us about God’s love – but not its connection to the rest of this passage.
Paul is writing to Christians in Rome encouraging unity and willingness to love and serve one another. He refers to the Old Testament which was more familiar to early Christians than it is to many of us. He wanted his audience to understand that Jesus, the root of Jesse, is the hope of all the world. God’s incredible power came into the world through Jesus and the salvation and forgiveness he offers. The joy and peace of trusting in God is available to all believers. God sends his Spirit among us to transform our lives and empower each of us to do what we can to be the change God dreams for the world.

Have you ever muttered the words 'my precious' in a sinister tone? Mistaken an elderly gentleman with a giant white beard as Gandalf? Or bellowed 'you shall not pass!' to someone standing in your way?
The chances are that you've heard or done one of these things. And they all have one thing in common - apart from being somewhat anti-social, they are all references to author J.R.R Tolkien's universe.
Let's be honest - the books that distinguish Tolkien over the rest is his Lord of the Rings series. There's no better way to celebrate his work than to read his most recognised pieces.
Let's say the average person in Cambridge reads at least 300 words per minute.
According to a few sources, it takes approximately six hours and seven minutes to read the Fellowship of the Ring, four hours and 59 minutes to read The Two Towers, and six hours and seven minutes to read the Return of the King.
An estimation of around 17 hours proves it's possible. If you start now.
Tolkien Day wouldn't really be a true celebration without a bunch of lunatics dressing up as goblins.
There are a number of characters that you could dress up as - Gandalf, Galadriel, Aragorn, Legolas, Gollum, or the forgotten Tom Bombadil, who didn't quite make the film.
Even better yet, reading at a local book shop while dressed as Saruman. There's an idea.
Why not peruse the works of Tolkien's less known books or poetry?
Such works include The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, The Farmer Giles of Ham, The Battle of the Eastern Field, or Effantry.
Wherever someone lives and breathes, there is a Tolkien Society somewhere.
In this case, there's one in Cambridge. With just over 200 members on its Facebook group, the members enjoy various events in and around the city.
And I'm sure there will be members who would gladly join you in your adventures with one and two.
There's an easy one. Just have a party. Include the first three, and maybe invite the fourth.
And you can't invite people to a party without turning your house into Minas Tirith.

Just imagine returning home relishing setting down overfilled grocery bags, and sitting in the shade with a nice cup of tea on a hot day, when, instead, you notice the biggest swarm of the season settled in your front garden and immediately you’re propelled into swarm collecting mode!
You might sling the shopping in through the front door and focus on the job in hand spending ages rushing about collecting all the items needed for successful swarm collection. Even if you are a very well organised beekeeper, who needs only to collect the carefully pre-packed swarm collection kit, you might still wonder if the bees will be hanging there when you return to the tree.
If any of these responses sound familiar, then you will be delighted to learn that swarm bees give warning signals prior to takeoff, and the well informed beekeeper can easily take advantage of them to predict, and even halt, the departure of the swarm.
Bernd Heinrich, (1981) insect physiologist and pioneer of temperature control studies in insects, discovered the requirement for honey bees, in a swarm, to warm their wing muscles to at least 35oC (95oF) before takeoff, though he was not aware of the process by which all the bees in a swarm synchronously attain the optimum temperature for flight. By the way, have you ever, out of curiosity, poked a finger into the middle of a swarm and felt how amazingly warm it was in the center compared with the outside, and wondered what was happening in there? A four-pound swarm can generate enough heat to power a forty-watt light bulb, so it is pretty warm in the centre of a swarm.
Individual bees are endothermic which means that they can generate heat by themselves, and so can maintain their own thermal homeostasis. A bee generates heat by working her wing muscles, located in her thorax. A bee produces much body heat while in flight, but she can also activate these wing muscles (i.e., shiver) while not in flight, either to warm herself or to help keep her colony’s broodnest toasty warm, 33-36oC (91-97oF).
A cluster of swarm bees is therefore “warm blooded” and can regulate its temperature by adjusting its heat production and by clustering more tightly when the ambient air temperature drops below about 18oC (65oF). Cluster contraction conserves heat by reducing the surface area over which heat can be lost, and by also reducing internal convection currents. When the temperature falls to 14oC (58oF) the swarm cluster develops an outer mantle of bees in a quiescent state of just hanging motionless, whereas in the core the bees have some space to move about.
Figure 2. Temperature profiles of a swarm at low (5oC=41oF) and high (30oC=86oF) ambient temperatures. Diagram shows the positions of bees, channels for ventilation, losses of heat (arrows), and areas of active metabolism (crosses) and resting metabolism (dots). From Honeybee Democracy (Princeton University Press) and used with permission from the author.
You can see, in Figure 2, how a swarm regulates its collective temperature at different ambient air temperatures; on the left side it is only 5oC (40°F), and the bees are having to work hard to actively maintain the temperature between the core (35oC) and the mantle (19oC). A hot day of 30oC (86oF) is illustrated on the right, and bees in the mantle are mostly at rest with some active bees, most likely to be scouts. The channels between bees allows air to circulate by convection helping keep the temperature in the middle uniformly 35oC (95oF), whilst the mantle is 31oC (88oF).
But how does all this relate to swarm takeoff? Well, typically a swarm of about 10,000 honey bees hangs in a beard-like cluster from a solid object, often a tree, whilst the 300 to 500 scout bees go and choose a new home. They may hang for a few hours, or a few days, until a quorum of scouts has built up at one of the sites, which marks the end of the scouts’ decision-making process. Then it’s time for all the bees in the swarm to travel to the new home site and start moving in.
Work on swarm thermoregulation by Seeley and Tautz (2001) revealed the mechanisms by which all the bees in a swarm become suitably warmed and flight-ready with their wing muscles heated to 35oC (95oF) which is close to our core body temperature. The entire swarm knows when to warm up because around 100 of the scout bees who have visited the swarm’s new home site give the remaining 9,900 or so swarm-bees a clear signal to warm up their flight muscles to 35oC (95oF) to be ready to launch into flight. The signal first occurs around an hour before takeoff and comes in the form of piping which is easy for the beekeeper to hear by listening with an ear close to the swarm. This is usually possible as most swarms are extremely calm and settled, unless the bees are starving, or have been hanging in the open for a long period during poor weather. The piping noise is generated by a worker bee pressing her thorax, with wings pulled tightly together over the abdomen, onto another bee. While she presses against another bee, the scout bee activates her wing muscles and produces a sound resembling a Formula One car revving up at Le Mans. These piping scout bees are highly excited and run all over the swarm burrowing into it, and pausing frequently to pipe. At first, the beekeeper will hear sporadic weak piping sounds, but they will increase in intensity and build to a climax just before the swarm’s takeoff.
Some of the scout bees communicate imminent departure by shaking or vibrating the quiescent mantle bees. A shaker bee grasps her sister and shakes her body for one to two seconds at 16-18 Hz but this shaking signal is not as significant as another important signal, the buzz run. This third signal really gets the bees going and, if observed in conjunction with piping bees, is a clear sign that the swarm will usually takeoff in the next one or two minutes.
Figure 3. Panel 1: The buzz-runner runs towards the quiet bees. Panel 2: One second later, the buzz-runner makes contact with the cluster, spreads her wings, and buzzes the other bees. Panel 3: One second after making contact, the buzz-runner continues pushing through the cluster, still buzzing her wings. Panel 4: Bee is still buzzing her wings as she runs off. Drawing by Barrett Klein, from Honeybee Democracy (Princeton University Press) and used with permission from the author.
The buzz runners are also the pipers and are most noticeable on the swarm cluster just prior to takeoff. You can see above in the diagram how the buzz runner runs towards the small group of torpid bees, and a second later she spreads her wings and buzzes them as she makes contact with the cluster. She pushes through them still buzzing her wings when contact is broken, and she may fly round before landing to repeat the procedure. She may sense the temperature of the bees whom she presses against, and research informs us that takeoff begins only a few seconds after 100% of the bees have their wing muscles warmed to 35oC. And they’re off!
So how does this knowledge benefit beekeeping? Acquiring a deeper understanding of this amazing behavior of the scout bees on a swarm enables the beekeeper to watch some of nature’s most wonderful displays as a partner in a unique relationship with bees.
Practically, the beekeeper can examine closely the swarm and work out how near to takeoff it is by looking for signals. If no piping is heard and no buzz runners are seen, then there is time for assembling the necessary equipment, and to think carefully about the best action to take in a relaxed manner. How many times do beekeepers get so excited by swarms that they react rather than think things through quietly and carefully?
If, however, piping is heard, and maybe buzz running is also seen, then still all is not lost! The swarm can be lightly sprayed with cool water using a spray bottle. This will lower the bees’ body temperatures and will stop their departure cold, at least temporarily. Now the beekeeper has an extra 10 minutes or so to capture the swarm and so keep the girls at home.
