I made an app to help you determine when best to inspect your hives, InspectNext

It could be useful for new bee keepers

I'll re-phrase that: it could be useful for people who are unfamilar with assessing weather.

Years ago, I looked at the horizon and said to the adult with me: uh-oh, heavy rain in half an hour, or somesuch. She looked at me astonished, as if I was an ultra-wizard from a parallel universe, but the reality was that she'd clearly never been outdoors long enough to learn to read natural events.

If you don't put in the effort to feel and interpret the weather you'll be soaked or burned pretty rapidly. Same with beekeeping: enjoy the dirt on your hands and learn to read the colony the awkward way; apps and mentors seem attractive but they'll hinder your learning.

If you do not understand weather information, it may be, that you do not understand bees.

Even animals and flowers understand weather.

Sort of like the brain turning to mush when you use a sat-nav...

Did you keep your pager for sentimental reasons?

I hated it with a vengeance which I think explains my phobia of mobile phones

 

[Finman]

I think explains my phobia of mobile phones

You are not only one , but it does not disturb other people who like to use smartphones.

Fobia of phones? Never heard about such. Do you get nibles?

 

[roche]

smartphone is oxymoron

 

[Amari]

Nibles? or d'you mean nibbles, ripples, tipples, wibbles or nipples?

 

[Finman]

Nibles? or d'you mean nibbles, ripples, tipples, wibbles or nipples?

Pipple

 

[Gilberdyke John]

I use the met office one

So do I but it does have some serious shortcomings. It showed wind gusts of 50 mph in this area when the Humber bridge was totally shut due to winds in excess of 80mph

 

[Hachi]

The only app a beekeeper needs is a weather forecasting one.

Can you recommend an accurate weather site? I use the Met Office and find it poor frankly

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Nibles? or d'you mean nibbles, ripples, tipples, wibbles or nipples?

definitely wibble

met office seldom wrong when I've checked, another good site we used a lot on the boats is XCweather

Have you tried rebooting it??

 

[roche]

Have you tried rebooting it??

Reboot! I tried an upgrade! Still doesn't work.

 

[ericbeaumont]

Still doesn't work.

No bother! Throw it away! Buy another one!

 

[JamezF]

No bother! Throw it away! Buy another one!

You can't go throwing a way a perfectly good telephone! There's probably years of use left in that yet. I don't know... Modern consumerist society... <shakes head & wanders off mumbling to himself>

I don't know...

That sounds good.

I bought a book named "when memory fails".

The professor wrote that there 2 kind of memory losses, dementia and stress.
It is rare that under 75 y has dementia.

If you ask something from a stressed person, common answer is " I don't know". A dementic person does not answer that way, he knows always.

Can't remember where I put it though

Same with me. Anyway, it did not helped my memory.
