Black Locust, that's the one! the bees love them, but i only have a couple trees around me, thus my desire to temporarily move the bees to a place where the Black Locusts are aplenty.

I was 7, she was 5. She had beautiful long blonde hair. I cut off her ponytail and threw the evidence in the fire. yeah...i got in trouble for that one. and then my dad made it worse by trying to fix things, he cut her bangs to about 1 inch length. we still have the school photos that were taken shortly thereafter to prove it. ahhh...good times.

No I am not sure if they are Acacia, but that's what people call them around here. They are large trees with huge clusters of white flowers that bloom in May and smell like Jasmine. They have some nasty thorns on them too. "tonnes" - yeah, i'm used to British spelling, being from Canada. as for your vegans - i have heard that vegans don't eat honey. you know, cause it's cruel to let bees do...what they do normally. The "fact" that it takes the bees 48,000 miles (what are those??) of travel seems weird. that number really depends on whether flowers are close by or not. bees aren't dumb, they will travel less if they can. you can see that the bees are tired when no flowers are in bloom close by and they have to travel to the neighbour's and beyond.

i'm near hamilton, ontario. I've got 40 acres of wildflowers for the bees and i'm surrounded by countryside so they can usually find something to eat. We (me and my friend who originally hails from Romania) had 1 deep with 1 medium food and 2 super up top at one point a couple of years ago, but we lost a bunch of bees. Moved to only 1 super and the hives seem much stronger. i haven't a clue what i'm really doing though, perhaps it was just coincidence but my friend assures me it helped.

i started with 10 hives, and kept splitting them as they multiplied. now i have 40 hives and not enough time. oh well, the bees are happy! this year i'm hoping to target certain areas for types of honey. there's some property about 1/2 hr away from me with tonnes of acacia trees and they will let me drop some hives there.

they look good, but i am afraid of earbuds...

the headphones use bone conduction, yes. cochlear implants don't. they use electrodes connected directly to the nerve, bypassing most of the human hearing system entirely. people who need cochlear implants wouldn't get much out of bone conduction. I want to be aware of my surroundings while listening as well, and opted for "on ear" headphones (the V-MODA's). my exercise of choice is swimming though...i've got to check out some waterproof bone conduction headphones!

Cochlear implants have electrodes attached to your cochlear nerve...these use bone induction. Not similar. That said - how do you like the sound compared to traditional headphones?

earbuds are frightening - way too easy to damage your ear. for regular listening, i bought v-modas. bought them for my daughter too. i'm not sure if !@#$ kids gave her a hard time but her headphones beat beats any day of the week and she knows it. they are tough, great sounding headphones.

Oh man this Trump victory is the gift that keeps on giving. i was ready to enjoy the salty tears no matter how the election went, but in retrospect, the Dem's reactions are the best. Is there such a thing as schadenfreude overload? Thank you America!

wtf is going on. I'm a lefty, I'm from Canada...and this amuses the hell out of me.

Trump visits the White House, Obama's staff reacts:

You evil deplorables! You crushed their dreams!

more we need MOOOOOOORRRRRRE

yeah there was all sorts of wrong in that sequence, i wonder if that was the refs way of showing Carp his faking was not appreciated.

did anyone else think that Carp was faking it a bit? He was trying to coerce on a flag. He looked injured at first, but when the med staff came over to him, he was pushing them away frantically, because he saw that there was no flag and he knew he would be taken off the field for a play. it was a dirty hit to be sure, but that's what i saw.

embrace the hate...feel it flow through you...

As a curious onlooker from your BFFs up north - what kind of power does a president in the USA hold when the senate is the opposite party? If Trump wins but the Senate goes Dem, what can he do for Republicans? He seems to be the kind of person that does whatever is popular, is it possible that he would do what a Dem Senate wants? I don't think Trump cares much about policy at all, except when it effects him directly. For example, let's say a Dem senate wants to change obamacare and move towards a system closer to Canada's. Can Trump stop that? Can Trump insist on repealing obamacare? Can Trump just flip and say "whatever the people want..."?

'member Superbowls?

i love nothing about her. As a Canadian i'm finding the whole thing both amusing and horrific.

yes, it's just that your comment coincided with the emailz announcement, as if that was the backbreaker.

yes, revisiting the Clinton email scandal is what will doom your country... The hyperbole from both sides is impressive...but sadly, not surprising. ps. i really hope you guys will be fine.

Welp, here's to always staying on the right side of potential success! First step: get off the internet http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/amp/53/9/1017/ unless you like maximizing your chance of depression, loneliness and stress. As for Pasteur, I shall not argue with him except to say, "not if the robots get us first."

strawman...not my intention. It was simply an example, and I think it was pertinent but if you don't then just ignore it. My point wasn't to call you homophobic or anything, I apologize if you were insulted. My point was that statistics can change over time, and often do, and that sometimes it is people's attitudes that create the change (and oppose it). No matter the example, the question still remains the same: Can you not see a future where these problems don't exist? And yes, i would make an argument regarding sexual preference and STDs although I realize that presently you are correct, so i wouldn't word it quite the way you did. Not because feelings. Because we as a society have decided to meet STDs head on and fix that problem. Better condoms, better medicine, better prevention. Should we not move towards a future where STD prevention is super effective and the chance of getting an STD is mostly equal for everyone (ie very close to 0)?
