Hate this new green format!
Comments (7)Cora, it didn't stay green all day. Later on in the afternoon it came up with a white back ground again. Also after you went to a post and came back to the main page it was white. I think they ard having some problems. :o)...See MoreAttn GW Admin: New Format Problem
Comments (93)Also, their formatting is having the opposite effect as well ... pictures that were formatted as smaller by using height= and width= are now showing up in their huge original size. For example, let's say I have posted 3 pictures side by side. The original size for the first one in pixels is 200x200, the second is 300x300, and the third is 800x800. Using formatting, I could have all 3 pictures show up as 200x200. Their new formatting is overriding the pictures and reverting them to their original sizes, so the 3rd picture is showing up as huge in comparison. Now, let's assume that 800x800 is the largest picture they will allow. If someone posts a picture that is larger than that, then it is automatically being resized down to their max of 800x800. As writersblock pointed out, that is making some of the pics too small to be legible. And they still have not fixed the font style. They still have it in this hard to read font. Can we please revert back to "do no harm" ? Tamara, where are you ?!?!?!?!...See MoreConvo: What DO you like about the new format?
Comments (20)I had to google Klout. Not at all interested in becoming more visible on the net. Apparently this site is moving more toward facebook and twitter and the Houzz mystic. That isn't me. I used to browse pinterest before it became a password protected site. In the long run, this could be a good thing. I used to get a lot more done inside and outside the house before I started killing time in front of the computer monitor. I miss the old GW forum. I will probably come here to read from time to time but it won't be like the old days. The atmosphere is totally different. Being here now is like having coffee with Lady Mary instead of Mrs. Patmore. In the kitchen forum I've always felt like Elizabeth having coffee with Hyacinth so I don't often go there. I'll see what develops on the kitchen table forum. The same people seem to be on all the forums I read....See MoreIs a beehive a worthwhile addition to an orchard?
Comments (26)Are you in africanized territory then? Are you in New Mexico? (Is that what the nm in your username is?) I know plenty of older beekeepers and former beekeepers that experienced what you're talking about in the 70's and before (and I experienced it myself in New Zealand in the late 90's), but hives in non-africanized parts of the continental US just don't last anything like they used to. If you make enough splits or catch enough swarms (all of which amounts to significant work, evidenced by what swarms sell for) or buy enough replacements you can stay ahead of the losses (even without medications now, which really wasn't true for the first 10-15 years after the mites arrived), but it used to be hives would last for years and years all on their own (with swarming, but they'd requeen themselves quite reliably and keep going), and it's just a world of difference now. Feeding might be avoidable most of the time if you live in the right location with a good honey flow late enough in the year. Here, for example, our only significant honey flow comes in May, which leaves plenty of time for the bees to rob each other out or deplete their reserves before winter even starts. That can all be managed, potentially without supplemental feeding -- although that's generally decided by the large price difference between syrup and honey -- but either way it takes management. I'm curious, nm, not that I haven't interacted with enough beekeepers to know what can be expected -- I also worked on the retail end of a beekeeping supply business for about 8 years, and I've also traveled by volunteering short-term (about a week at a time) for other beekeepers (in FL, GA, and MS, as well as internationally) just for room and board, so I have plenty of exposure to plenty of different styles of beekeeping in various states and regions -- but how long would you say your average hive would survive if all you did was steal honey? Have you kept hives continuously for all your 9 years of experience?...See Morehavingfun
