A similar thing has happened to me in the past. Brought a phone dock from amazon, and when it arrived, it didn't fit my phone, looking at the serial number on the dock itself, it was for the previous model of phone but the packaging wa

Well, as he says in his video, it's typically the queen that dictates how aggressive the colony is. Watching the video, he taped the hive up and then poured the soapy water in. I doubt that many were able to get away at all. Those that

Some hives have enclosed floors. But modern hives, at least in the UK, now have a mesh floor. Which is there to reduce the numbers of a parasite, varroa. The mesh allows the parasite to fall out of the hive.

That's an interesting question. I'm not sure how you would pump CO2 into a bag and kill a colony. I'm not sure it's an accepted process for doing that. Maybe there's a chance you might accidentally euthanise yoursel

That's funny, I just saw this suggested to me too, but I'm a beekeeper, so I wasn't expecting this to appear here.

It appears, halfway through reading this, it's become password protected.

Yes, I thought so too. But wondered if it might have been a comment about the general state of the Internet instead.

Ah, this is a really useful topic, following on from the previous post about DIY weatherstations. I'm currently adding my data to wunderground, but I'm not getting a huge amount of value out of it. Really happy to see other option

Yeah, it's useful if you want a static website for your weatherstation. But I would quite like the current readings, to actually be current, rather than up to 5 mins old.

Yes, they do fail. I guess that's evident by the design of the weather station, as the humidity sensor is modular, so it can be replaced. Unfortunately, I think this design also means it has a low ingress protection value. The unit I e

I'm using weewx for my weather station. I pulled the weather station out of a bin at my former place of employment, which is an airmar 200wx, ultrasonic wind sensor that's typically used on boats. The humidity sensor doesn't

No but they did attempt to ban neonicotinoids across Europe, against stiff opposition from the UK government.

OK so this started to change my opinion of Google. I could see how, in the article the marketers were trying to describe the map-reduce algorithm and how the journalist could have mis-interpreted it. But this is categorically bad behaviour.
