Wow, Instagram is like straight up bottom of the barrel content. Just mind-numbing garbage.

We need more Head Poppa here
He needs to cut that slicked back hair down if heβs gonna send Americans to their death. At least make yourself look like a normal person instead of Slick Willie.
See yβall there in Austin, 3/28
I just caught a swarm! Effing nuts for February. youtube.com/shorts/yTsBU...
I love these old Buddhist stories of enlightenment. Theyβre always like:
A monk asked his master, βMaster, what is enlightenment?β
The master then farted.
The monk bowed deeply.
2008 Prius with green honey supers
Prius with green honey supers
Odometer of my βnew to meβ Prius.
Canβt figure out the problem with my van Barry, so sheβs on hiatus.
Iβm officially that douchy beekeeper who drives a Prius. Her name is Heidi. A 2008 with low miles, almost old enough to drink. I just hit 30,000 miles on her. I hope she lasts a while. I now know she holds at least 12 honey supers
Well you created it, soβ¦
Syrup in queue! #beekeeping
Mixing up pollen substitute
Tote full of sugar bags
Mixing up some nutrition for the bees today. Global pollen with Apis Biologix, and some 1:1 syrup since itβs in the 70βs every day this next week. Found these totes for $20 at Home Depot and they perfectly fit 10 25lb bags of sugar, so Iβm stoked about it.
Happy beeβing! #beekeeping
Boxes are together! Still need about 15 more nucs for 2026, but these should buy some time. Lots of painting to do.
Happy beeβing π
Time to grabβem by the booboo #beekeeping
Bottom board that still needs to be glued and stapled. Then on to paint and screen.
Bottom board cuts are done! Tomorrow I glue and staple. Then on to paint and screens. #beekeeping
Here we go! Bottom boards are in progress. #beekeeping
Old school! They were a crazy band. I remember you playing this and jamming it with you a lot in the 4 Runner! Or maybe the Old Blue the pickup too. Haha!
Snow day for us!
They need to just own the fact that they are nazis.
I look up to you, Jake, even though youβre younger than me. I have a lot of respect for you. Even though you give us some bad news, when I hear it from you it gives me hope. Because you are a badass American. You arenβt some guy on the fringes.
Nobody in America is safe. If Trumpβs secret police force will execute a government employed VA nurse on camera for us all to see and then lie about it, then they wonβt hesitate to kill you next and lie about you.
This is fascism. They are Nazis.
Fucking sucks. What s cool dude Alex was. Iβll never have his courage and conviction. He is an American to make us proud.
I am afraid aka a chickenshit bastard. Just one look at me, itβs pretty clear that I am a βlibtardβ and we are moving towards McCarthyism. I canβt take the risk of not being here for my wife and our family. I donβt know what to do.
What is going on right now in my country that I am very proud of is unprecedented. Iβve always considered myself a patriot. Canβt believe this. I do attend peaceful protests. I do donate to those I believe will help and I vote for the same. I feel lost. Canβt believe the insanity.
As a beekeeper who relies on bees to make ends meet, it can be tough for me to bring up politics. My field is mostly dominated by βgood ole boysβ who have a different worldview than me. I used to be able to get along just fine with these folks. I am from South Texas. This is all very hard for me.
Everything is covered in ice π₯Ά
I donβt think Iβll be working outside today π€¦π»ββοΈ
Mine were pretty pissed off yesterday when I got to them. All of the foragers were home and they were like naw!
Reflectix double bubble insulation for bee hive lids
My wife wearing a Kakashi shirt. CHIDORI!!!
Cutting Reflectix for the hives before this winter storm hits. Very grateful for my wifeβs help. She got a little mad at me for calling her a nerd for wearing her #Kakashi t-shirt!
I wish I could be holdinβ that cat! :)
Honey bee plastic mini mating nucs
I had never owned mini mating nucs like these before. My wife and I agreed that theyβre super cute. They look like Fisher Price toys. #bees #hachi
Van full of bee equipment
Special Agent Fox Mulder
Barry the Sienna van is loaded with #bee stuff! Many more loads to go before the season kicks off! Gonna need to grow a pair this year. Failure is not an option.
$14k really isnβt much these days. Maybe they accidentally left off a zero or two? π
Itβs all bad news, but for some reason when I hear it from DarkMatter2525, it gives me hope. He just has the ability to put things into words in a way that I am not capable of.
