BooBees

Yeah i know there’s a couple, but I haven’t seen what all each platform does, especially not his, so I can’t speak to the usefulness or innovation.

Sounds more like a hub you would plug ollama into, along with other platforms. Kinda like putting all your favorite stores in a mall is useful.

I have never ever known another bee keeper to clip wings of queens, especially because they only live a few years, swarming is healthy, and clipping is pointless when you manage the hives properly. A seasoned bee keeper will just manage the hives to do artificial splits and the queens will just stay in the new split because it mimics a swarmed hive in a new home. This complaint is like saying i don’t trust doctors because some use motor oil to perform ass and bicep and breast augmentations. Yeah, a few shady assholes do, but not the majority, so why are you judging and condemning an entire group based on a limited few who perform a very rare practice? Because you don’t know what you’re talking about and want to be angry about something on the internet, because it’s easier to do that than actually get out there and talk to people in the industry first hand. Stop getting your news and information from anger engagement sources.

I’m a bee keeper and it’s clear you know nothing about bees and how they work. They don’t use all their honey, and you leave them enough plus some extra to use and survive on all year and through the winter. If you leave unused honey it attracts mice and other pests that destroy the hives, eat the honey, the larva, and cause much stress and eventually encourage disease in the bees. A well managed hive is actually better, safer for the bees than just leaving them to their own devices, which runs on reproducing in such high numbers that their species survives and replicates based on swarming, dividing the hive so often that they can continue on as a species despite disease, some colony collapse, some suffering.

A good bee keeper is safer and healthier than a natural selection process because nature can be a bitch, especially if your species isn’t about the individual but is instead a numbers game.

Most apiaries are just people, not corporations that bottle honey. The very very vast majority of bee keepers have zero to do with the poor practices of honey bottling businesses that adulterate honey and ruin the industry. Most commercial honey comes from private beekeepers who rent their bees to pollinate crops so Americans can actually have affordable food. Those beekeepers are not out there adulterating honey or acting irresponsibly with their bees. Most adulterated honey comes from out of the nation and is imported by a select few shit corporations. Fuck the corporations, not the people working hard to get your quality honey and pollinate your food so you don’t have to rely on poorly functioning vitamin substitutes to avoid diseases humans get when they eat limited selections of produce and hyper processed “food”.

Art teacher, but yes, I do my best to do my part.

I’m glad you were. I’m a teacher. I have no such experience, but there were books on the matter in my libraries as a kid, that’s how i found out and went down the path of finding out some of what I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

It would be nice if we had an education system that actually taught the history of forces protecting the wealth class and their property over the safety, needs, and rights of the common individual and masses.

Sooo… billionaires that have always been complying in advance to Trump and fascism in the name of profits.

Why? We already deal with no public restrooms, dress codes, etc., it’s not like Americans are fighting for rights anymore, especially not water and air as an inalienable right or anything. Americans protect corporate rights above all else, even to their own demise.
