A "bee cam" I love the idea! :)

They probably do. Not until my 4th ferret did I learn much of
their language. Almost silent sounds and lots of gestures.

Of course, a bee could never support the weight of even the smallest
camera.
 
However, if you could affix a small retro-reflective matrix onto the
upper-rear abdomen, a small fleet of scanning laser arduino co-ordinated
drones might be able to track a bee. Throw in a few heavier camera
platforms and you have the makings of a university-level robotics project.

The way I do it, the temperature doesn't get any higher than the warm
water method. It just saves the bother of heating a pan of water.

Can you get away without feeding them drugs to keep AFB at bay?

Salt/sodium is a powerful desiccant... used to dry raw meat for
curing.

Then learn from recent history and stay that way. Always wear a
mask in public. Your coldest winter months have just started.
That's when people congregate more inside. Let Melborne situation
be an early warning to you.

I haven't yet heard that the Melbourne thing has anything to do with
the season. Of course, scientists change their story often, since this
is all new.
 
Winter hasn't just started but is almost halfway. September is the
first month of spring. Seven weeks to go.

You are lucky. A few weeks ago I went for an eye examination and I went
through that deal where I had to cover one eye and read the letters on
the chart with my glasses on. As soon as said the letter my lens would
fog up and I would have to wait for it to clear before proceeding.

For paint dust you really need to wear a respirator, they cover the
entire face including eyes and have replacable filtration canisters,
there are many brands. A must for spray painters.

It's stupid anyway, IMO:-)

Shakespeare was an old time perve. People that knew him well
called him, "Shakes-his-spear"
 
Saw a funny Hamlet segment in a movie once.
"Last Action Hero"
Arnold S. was Hamlet. It was filmed in B&W to simulate
an old thing. He was sitting there with a castle in the
background and he said, "To be or not to be."
 
Then immediately he said, "NOT TO BE!" And he pushed a
button on a remote control device and the castle in the
distance behind him blew up in full color. lol

Check to see if your homeowner's insurance covers it. Deductible may be
higher than what you paid though.

"An old thing" was clearly the Laurence Olivier movie of Hamlet.
Since Joan Plowright was Olivier's wife and played the boy's teacher,
it was extra funny for me.

Important or not, I just like fresh air every chance I get,
especially when it's coming off the ocean (east winds) :)

Warm and moist indoor environments are also good breeding
grounds.

I heard that the virus doesn't like moist air because the moisture
damages it's outer membrane and makes it heavy, so it falls to the
ground rather than float from person to person.

I vaguely recall you were in those parts. These flare ups are going to
happen, even in NZ.

I always think about you when we get south winds and the air reeks
of the cement plant 20 miles away or when the farmers are manuring
their fields. Ah, fresh air!
 
Last weekend the air was redolent of skunk.

Make some rice dishes so they feel at home.

At home, I do the same. Sometimes a pickle on the side but not
on the burger. Whatever kind of thin ones that McDonald's uses
are pretty good though...even on their burgers.
 
I will peel a cucumber but never a pickle. I also eat the
seeds in either/both. I never de-seed a tomato either.

I almost forgot to mention... Nicely done. That would make
a tasty dinner.

No, that sounds silly. I also never de-seed a chilli pepper. I want
that heat.

A few years ago, someone opened up a specialty store only selling
Olive Oil. You could go in and get free samples to taste then
choose one to buy. Never did go there but it would be good now.
 
I went up to the bank 2 weeks ago and as I was leaving, I did
look for it but seems to be gone now. Oh well.
 
Anyone here have a recommendation for a very flavorful EVOO
that a grocery store might sell?
