No need. Beekeepers could sort the problem. Less whinging, less hui, more doi. 

And my unbiased, disinterested hobbyist take on that relates to pigs with wings.

Should the pallet get burnt too ??

Chair > jug/coffee > chair ?

I would certainly support a bit of publicity provided there was no doubt....same with capital punishment.

Half hour (I think) north of Auckland

You will get a reply ultimately from the whoever the new minister is. All pollies have gone home, and severed links with welly.

It's called "tagging" someone, and is common throughout the digital world.

Really gotta say I don’t like not having the location visible.
 

I don’t want to have to check a profile every time I want to see where someone’s from to get an idea of whether there Post is more or less relevant to us in our area.

Well Mrs Pot now do you know how the rest of us felt when you described your domicile as "Earth" ????

I'd be careful about harvesting it for the table if it was gathered last autumn...you're within the Tutu zone....

@Mummzieare you  sure that's not just for admin ?

You could ask about spring losses too if you want more gloom !

Looks to me as though the Maestro has poured a package of surplus black bees in there !

I have just had a look at your profile to see where you are.  Is it my imagination, or did that info used to be just below our moniker? 

 

Nelson. And it's not your imagination. Grant seems to have more time on his hands to fiddle with things these days. This time it's something about speeding up scrolling....

Doesn't your local Barberry flower ? Or are all the hedges history ?

That'll be because all the middle/low managers who used to co-ordinate that stuff have all gone and their budget has gone into the director's pockets.

I have found an opened Q cell in a broodless but very busy hive. All three hives suddenly went Q less. 

Sniff sniff I've been trespassed from my swarm gathering valley. Subdividers don't like stirrers. Need a swarm or two this year, my hives have gone downhill. 

All our native bees are similar to your solitary bees.

Maybe there's something here ?   https://www.comvita.co.nz/store/articles

And I try not to buy processed foods.  Fortunately the whanau are hunter gatherers, so that solves the meat issue

Only have to watch out for brodifacoum and 970 then....
