Why would someone steal a bee hive?
Comments (2)Some people will take anything that they can get their thieving hands on. Used hives are not valuable, at least not to a knowledgeable beekeeper. If a hive is infested with American Foul Brood, the only cure is to burn the hive and everything associated with it. Your hive wasn't, but anyone buying the hive from the thieves wouldn't be able to tell if it was infected or not. I hope the bees stung the bee-jeezus out of the thieves!...See MoreDid I get a steal ?
Comments (8)i think i see the remaining spikes of cones.. if so.. it is severely overgrown for that pot ... most likely needing the TLC you can provide ... we really should not see a plant mature enough to cone in that small a pot.. dont you think ... [excluding the early coners ... of course] if it lives.. its the bargain of the century .... this plant has a nomenclature nightmare.. as seedlings were sold under the name.. so theoretically not all are exactly the same ... regardless though.. its not yellow in any terms... so that is a pot and/or fertilizer [or lack thereof] issue .... and its supposed to be bluish [not like a candicans blue.. just a suggestion of blue] with white undersides.. and the key is the curling needles that show the white undersides unlike the species ... the blue and the white are due to a glaucous coating on the leaves... a wax that reflects the blue sky ... it rubs off easily .... similar to any blue conifer.. and all blue hosta ... otherwise its a green tree underneath ... so that is probably what you are seeing .. on confers.. many things affect the wax.. like hot weather.. followed by hard rain .. winter.. sleet.. snow.. etc ... so by spring.. in my z5 .. its coloration is dullish ... as perhaps yours is ... as are mine.. until budding ... you know how to plant it properly.. etc ... just do it ... depending on what root structure you are left with after surgery ... it should prevail ... and.. if you have a warranty ... then it is a bargain.. as you have nothing to lose ... if you can plant it in very bright area.. but with some late afternoon shade.. the hot part of the day.. then you should be all set .. though i see no reason it cant handle full sun... the shade just helps that wax last longer .... i am bothered by saying it is bluish ... perhaps.. in curling the white undersides to the sky ... it is an optical illusion that it SEEMS to give it a blue hue on clear days ... i will have to study that in the yard ... if, after surgery.. there are sufficient roots.. there is no reason it should be hard to grow .... ken...See MoreWho would steal heirloom tomatoes?
Comments (12)Alsosara, Thank you so much for your bringing this to my attention! The many that were stolen are history now, though with three very nice members of the County Sheriff's department having come to purchase their own plants, they are certainly aware of them having been stolen. Too, most that disappeared were of varieties that restaurants, growers, and the police can easily recognize since most were of the more rare varieties and colors including yellows, orange, purple, black, green and striped. That said, I have put this behind me, while considerably enhancing those factors in my own ad that make them unique. From the beginning, I went to great effort to identify those varieties that excel in flavor and, starting in January, just after my two stroke and the news of an incurable disease, used this project as a form of physical and even emotional therapy to keep me interested and moving. Mostly, I just wanted to grow the best plants and varieties possible for my own use in saving two of each plant, but that meant growing extras to provide me with a good selection of my own starters. These will provide me with plenty of seeds for othgers next year and has already provided others throughout the region with their first heirlooms. Too, it has, despite the major downer of the theft, been a means for me to stay active, meet others, and share my own knowledge with lots of people. Because these were my own "babies", I started them with the best possible seed starting mix that I then used espoma organic fertilizers and a blend of many micro-organisms. That has really proven itself. My own garden is thriving and despite the disease that is rapidly and painfully fusing my spine and hips, LIFE CAN BE VERY, VERY GOOD! In many ways, this is what I learned during my time as an E.R. chaplain and expressed in my four books....Happiness is a choice....See MoreTiny shower, can I steal space from attic if roof line is right there?
Comments (26)The attic is behind the long 5' wall of the tub/shower combo, so stealing space from there makes the new shower wider. Contractor is framing now. I wasn't home today to see first hand, but I think they were able to steal about 14" or maybe a little more. So the shower will be a comfortable width (about 44") and the toilet will have 32" to itself instead of 30." The ceiling had a wierd fur-down, so they took that out and now the ceiling height is 8 feet. They will waterproof the floor. I think Ditra is what my contractor prefers to use on the floor....See More- 6 years ago
