Who said it was kids?
If kids are addicted to phones then it is only because they are following the examples of their parents and grandparents. How much time do you spend on this forum, Facebook, twitter? I've always assumed you were behind the beekeepershour hashtag.Stan's granddaughters get their phones taken off them at the beginning of every school day......you may be right. The trauma to two well brought up rounded young ladies was a revelation. It echos still.
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Based on the two pictures I've seen I don't see any sure signs of vandalism. What I do see is an apiary of polystyrene hives woefully under prepared for a very windy day.sounds like you are suggesting that commercial beekeepers get what they disserve for running a successful business or can you clarify your statement?
I'm not the only one that read your statement and came to the same conclusion. Just maybe its the way you write if indeed there was no malice inferred. Do you know the status of the weather at the mating apiary on the day of the event and can see any 'anti-wind' protection in the grass?I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Based on the two pictures I've seen I don't see any sure signs of vandalism. What I do see is an apiary of polystyrene hives woefully under prepared for a very windy day.
Chance of posting them here?the two pictures
On their InstagramChance of posting them here?
Take their TVs, game things, computers and cars away.
Just their mobile phones would be enough.
Strange really, I remember the same level of vandalism and destructive mischief when I was a kid - mobile phones, computers (and computer games) had not really been invented, in my area not many households had landlines in their homes! very few parents had cars, let alone the teenagers, and I can't recall there being many (if any) 'multiple partner' families, let alone state/nursery raised kids - in fact, there were no nursery schools period.That’s the issue, they’re not brought up by their parents, but nursery staff, teachers, often multiple partners and the state.
Do you know when the day of the event was? It was very windy there in that area on the 4th July ...see their facebook video on that day describing and briefly showing wind disturbance to some of their little nucs that day ..."bits blown off all over the place". Apparently they have over 700 of them.on the day of the event
Gosh JBM wouldn’t have expected that from you, don’t know why.Strange really, I remember the same level of vandalism and destructive mischief when I was a kid - mobile phones, computers (and computer games) had not really been invented, in my area not many households had landlines in their homes! very few parents had cars, let alone the teenagers, and I can't recall there being many (if any) 'multiple partner' families, let alone state/nursery raised kids - in fact, there were no nursery schools period.
It's just the usual rant of the boomers and gammonista. same as their sanctimonious 'we never needed recycling in our days' post you see on social media - even though they are the ones who created the throwaway, disposable, selfish society.
I spend a bit of time here, dipping in and out. I’m a moderator. I keep an eye on things.If kids are addicted to phones then it is only because they are following the examples of their parents and grandparents.

there didn't appear to be any evidence of the boxes being strapped or held down to the tops of the "tables"
Had a flip through the NH Instagram and found only 3 showing the mating nucs, and none of the boxes showed signs of strapping or use of weight on roofs.'bits blown off all over the place'
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you do realise that you act *exactly* like the 'gammons' (your words) that so offend you? You started this thread about a Facebook post that you took at face value without any deeper thought?It's just the usual rant of the boomers and gammonista
typical allegation I'd expect from someone with your track record, it seems the only objective of you ever posting is to troll or cause discord.You started this thread about a Facebook post that you took at face value without any deeper thought?
