@sarindau Wow

@Pieter69715620 @Lanka_Wildlife @elaphrornis Do they bite?

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@lew1ya It’s more intimidating than difficult. Quite easy to get the hang of.

@lew1ya *extracting the honey

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@lew1ya Extra to g the honey also / it is better to sun dry the combs in buckets, under glass, takes time, but you then get pure honey. I’d you centrifuge part of the wax is also extracted and mixes with the honey. It truly is a fascinating subject.

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@lew1ya There is a book called Bee Keeping in Sri Lanka by Dr Punchihewa. It is in English as well and is an amazing book.

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@lew1ya Smoke and take out the frames, cut comb into bowls. Check the hive to see all clean. Put it back together and they return. You need to be careful with the Queen as they can swarm@and abscond. Need to wear protective gear too.

@nuuuwan @DullasOfficial @sajithpremadasa @RW_UNP @nuuuwan the sad thing about your tweet / is that it is absolutely correct!

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@latenduf Like we will remember the vistas of splendor and prosperity. !

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@Namalkamalgoda @Lanka_Wildlife Yes the increase in peacocks over the past 4-5 years is honestly mind blowing.

[Kenneth McAlpine @kennethmcalpine]

@Lanka_Wildlife Unauthorized garbage dumps, especially upcountry have seen localized wild boar populations increase and as near main roads, no hunting. Quite common to see a sounder of 10-15 on the Welimada - Bandarawela main road.

@roelraymond Little worrying to say the least, when the man who may become president for 30
Days is already “ making mistakes”.

@nanayakkara77 @KalaniWrites Thought you had fighting words yesterday, saying our people can’t go overseas for work without your permission based on if dollars brounght in. Yesterday you spoke like you owned our people. Today you speak as a scared traitor. Go fuck yourself. Cowardly
