Well yep the bad weather and bad moods are back.......
whist i stand by what i was trying to say about people hounding Finman i perhaps could have written it slightly better... so i hold my hands up to that.

As a frequent visitor to the site since May09 i have learnt much about beekeeping and it has seriously helped me out at times, there is a certain amount of crossfire sometimes, i have been shot down twice for Spelling(neither time from Finman but both times from regular respected members), i am Dyslexic and very proud of it, at times it is frustrating, but i can honestly say i wouldn't swap it if i could as nearly everyone i have met thats dyslexic has been incredibly creative and interesting person, i myself work in a very creative/competitive industry and my dyslexia has helped rather than hindered..... ramble ramble....... basically i have little time for those that spurn anyone for bad spelling/grammar or numeracy- this has led to me not feeling at times that i should be posting on this forum for fear of being shot down for Spelling......

i commented on this thread being "embarrassing" because i believe this forum has much to offer in the way of advice on all aspects on beekeeping but the baiting and harassment of any member should not be allowed regardless of there views on beekeeping? is this thread a fair representation of the forum for all to view? i hope not.....
I prefer the thought that this forum is recognised as a leading website on the craft of beekeeping.

on that note i am going to melt some wax.......

beeboybee.......

My elder brother is dyslexic and he writes phonetically..........its a hard job reading his emails..

My keyboard is dyslexic......

and being full of biscuit crumbs doesnt improve the situation..

........ goes with his second job I suppose

Loose Canon?

You are wrong,both myself and Hivemaker moderate the forum reading all posts between us.

Nothing wrong with being wrong. I have said before that the forum is a good resource for beekeepers, but my opinion is that the sentiment of HM's proposed changes would be of benefit - if the objective is for it to remain/improve as such. That's your business. Mine's a cold beer.

 

[mbc]

objective is a cold beer.

Philistine!
no colder than the cellar for me please

The most touching story ever:

- Italian bee professor Antonio Nanetti writes in one of his papers that Varroa douples itself in a month.

- I quoted Nanetti's statement in this forum

- some guys in this forum disagreed that information as nonsense because they have not got the same results.

- DisMob wrote that varroa does not douple itself in a week, because he had not seen that in his glass hive. He had sawn a Charles named mite there and he did not see any little Charleses walking along glass.

- He corrected "in a certain time"

- Then I wrote that DisMOb has dyslexia, because he does not make difference between week and month
(one month = 4 weeks)

- Now guys are presenting how many in their family has dyslexia. - and it my fault


..... and whose fault is that. DisMob have used many adjectives about me, but I am not going to inform, that "not me, but in my family ........"

What university does

To many forum members it is unclear what university does to its pupils.

The most say that university's main production is stupid persons good for nothing
- Many think that it teaches what is right hand what is left hand
- how to measure sugar and make syrup
- when a person is master of science in biochemistry, he knows nothing about pH
- Finnish education is nothing, even if it is ranked best in the world (Tamar valley has better)

That is what I have read here


What University really makes is:

- teaches how to find existing knowledge from outer world
- teaches how to identyfy how much you can trust on that information
- compare information, what results others have got in same issue

- How to setup the problem that you may start to find out answers = goals of research
- how to split the issue that you may get piece of answers

- Plan the research method that you can pick up answers from the big mesh
- not to rely on side answers, what you was not going to reveile out.

Trust on others, and do not waste you life with inveting a stone wheel.

My professor said about y 1970, that

- do not carry everything in your head. It will not succeed.
- do not open over 10 years old book, because it has too much disinformation

.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT BEEKEEPING :
- it is not rocket science
- Bees stand many kind of beekeepers and beekeeping styles

- end results speak tell about your skills = measure points in beekeeping
- if you are not going to be skillful in beekeeping, you will not be skillful

.

Succes measure points in beekeeping

1) in what condition hives are after winter
2) how many frames hives have brood 6 weeks before main yield and how many for early yield
3) how did you succeeded to manage the swarming period
4) How many of your hives have splended pastures and how many have good pastures

5) Guns loaded. You have done what you can with that artillery.



Laziness often wins the skills what you can = it is called motivation...

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface,

where you have plenty of room at each side.

Then with a 2.5 kg potato bag in each hand,

extend your arms straight out from your sides,

and hold them there as long as you can.

Try to reach one full minute, and then relax.

Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position

for a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move to 5kg bags.

Then try 10-kg potato bags and then eventually

try to get to where you can lift a 20-kg potato bag

in each hand, and hold your arms straight for

more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level,

put a potato in each bag. . .



Engineer or Management

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.

She reduced altitude, and spotted a man below.

She descended a bit more and shouted:

“Excuse me, can you help me?

I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago,

but I don’t know where I am.”



The man below replied,

You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet

above the ground. You are between 51 and 52 degrees North latitude,

and between -2 and -3 degrees West longitude.

“You must be an Engineer”, said the balloonist.

“I am”, replied the man, “how did you know??”



“Well”, answered the balloonist, “everything you have told me is probably

technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information,

and the fact is, I am still lost. Frankly, you have not been much help at all.

If anything, you have delayed my trip by your talk”.



man below responded, “ you must be in Management”. “I am”,

replied the balloonist, “but how did you know?”



“Well”, said the man, “you don’t know where you are, or where you are going.

You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.

You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect

the people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly

the same position you were in, before we met, but now, somehow,

it’s my blooming fault.”

Ichbinpaul, perhaps it's time to take seriously the title of this thread.

Time for a little rest, I think.

Tis better to lighten the heart than to mull over misunderstandings or personal problems I believe, but stew if you must.
