@TKDano Nutella is pretty perfect for him. 😅

@JamTheGardenMan I love the little snails! Then again the only other occupants of the tank are tiny shrimp, so who's to say who the real stars are?

@Gothfarts1 I just wad it up. I know my limits. 😅

@JoeySantore My urban humanure operation was 50% less malodorous than my competitor's.

@BizzleBugs Agree! Some of these chemicals are serious business.

[Cork Hives @CorkHives]

@BizzleBugs In the US they advertise products to control mosquitos and other "pests" but they really just nuke all the insects in your yard (for up to 12 weeks!). Deceptive marketing and bad consequences. 😑

@FedEx One of your drivers in the Mason County Washington area saved a stray dog and reunited her with her family. I think that is pretty cool. 😍

@villhelmbock I remember something like that. I feel like googling it would be cheating at this point. 😅

[Cork Hives @CorkHives]

@villhelmbock Good to know! 😃

@pguythompson Amazing! Please keep us posted with more photos!

My brothers observations using cork in habitat replacement. It appears the stimulus for propolisation is dust, wood fibres and debris in a cavity. This would explain why simply ‘roughing’ a surface falls short in producing the propolis layers we see in wild nests @EvaCraneTrust

Fascinating to watch the behavior of the violet green swallows nesting in a bird house on my shed. Three adults are involved. They feed the babies, fly off with a wad of poo from the nest, and then drop said wad on our cars. 😅

@18_bees TY! 😃

Spotted several of these on my lovage plants. Oregon swallowtail? Whatever they are, they are welcome to all the lovage they can eat. #insectID

@Gothfarts1 Love the lacey phacelia! Very popular with the bumbles around here too. 😃

I know this is a show off post but I had to post it.
When you work hard all your life and you are doing so well you can treat yourself, right?
I can’t express the happiness I am feeling. White was the only colour but it doesn’t matter.
I’ve purchased these four chairs.

[Cork Hives @CorkHives]

@SimonAngelanMin Congrats! You deserve it. May they bring you many happy years of sitting. 😅

[Cork Hives @CorkHives]

@TKDano These are the sorts of penalties I can really get behind!

[Cork Hives @CorkHives]

@pguythompson @TKDano Oh yes! We got winds off the ocean starting Monday afternoon that took the temp down from like 116 to the 70s in a few hours. 😃

[Cork Hives @CorkHives]

@Evangel76283187 I have some weeds sending flowers through the bottom of my chairs - might be in for a surprise sometime when I sit! 😅
