Apiary - Warré or TBH or Langstroth = Happy Bees

This spring, {2013} we plan to add Bees to our sustainable farm project. Like most of our project we are trying to do as much research before we get our creature. At the moment I’m trying to figure out if I want to get a Top Bar Hive or a Warré Hive. Let’s begin with some of the research I’ve done.

Let's take a step back and look at the way honeybees live in the wild. Most feral honeybees prefer to nest in hollow trees. That means they are quite well insulated from the elements, with thick wooden walls on the sides.

Nest chambers of wild bees are vertically elongated cylinders with a capacity of about 8 to 16 gallons. The deep brood box that most Langstroth hives begin with has a capacity of about 11 gallons, and beekeepers generally add on at least one more deep brood box or two shallow supers. That makes the wild bee hives sound small, but keep in mind that wild bees don't sock away as much honey as we ask our bees to. Instead, they swarm as soon as conditions in the h…

Why I don't panic during crypto price swings.

If you haven't heard my story on how I own 400 Bitcoin at one point please listen to my podcast. The clifnotes are in 2009/2010 I own 400 bitcoin, dbled my money and moved on to other things. It wasn't until late 2011 when I bought Litecoin till I got back in.

BitCoin History:

05.10.2009
official exchange rate was the following: $1 = ฿1,309,03 (so ฿1 = $0,00076). Satoshi weren't a thing. (one-hundred-millionth of a bitcoin); mining was something you did for he love of the blockchain not for the profit. Hardware and electricity bills were expensive.

Mid 2010:
$0.08 = ฿1

Late 2010:
$0.5 = ฿1

2011:
09.02.2011 - $1 = ฿1
02.06.2011 - $10 = ฿1
09.06.2011 - $31.911 = ฿1
12 June 2011 - $10 = ฿1 (First major correction)

Late 2011:
$10 = ฿1

2012—relative stability in the $8 range.

2013:
28.02.2013 - $31.92 = ฿1
22.03.2013 - $74.90 = ฿1 — a noticeable growth:
10.04.2013 - $266 = ฿1 — another noticeable growth:
02.10.2013 - $109.71 = ฿1— a steep decl…

Flat Top Mountain, and Winterplace Ski Resort

Flat Top Mountain & Winterplace Ski Resort

The first ski resort on Flat Top Mountain was established on the north slope of Bald Knob in 1958. Named Bald Knob Ski Slopes, the resort was the second commercial ski location in West Virginia, following the predecessors of Canaan Valley Ski Resort. It was founded by future West Virginia governor Hulett C. Smith and businessman John McKay, and designed by former Army officer Robert K. Potter. Operating with four tow ropes and a double chair, the resort's longest trail extended 2,800 feet. It was marketed as the southernmost ski resort in the Eastern United States. The resort closed in 1961; the site is now known as Old Winterplace. The current ski resort, sometimes known as New Winterplace, was established fifteen years later on Huff Knob, southeast of the former resort site; the two resort sites are separated by I-77.The mountainWinterplace is nearly equidistant between Beckley, West Virginia to the north on Interstate 77 and Princet…
