What did you do in the 'workshop' today

[Erichalfbee]

I’ve got an idea of adding a Santa hat to my favourite bee photo - just got to work out how to do it!

Do it......then you can change your avatar for a seasonal one in December

Good idea, just need to persuade a friend with photoshop to add the hat! Can you pls advise how do you change your descriptor eg house bee, new bee etc? Can’t see a way of amending from the settings but maybe that’s determined by the moderator?

It's not up to the individual to chose (got nothing to do with how many certificates you have) it's an algorithm calculated on the number of posts you make

Insulation of roof now done.
Now must make decision what colour to paint the walls... Magnolia, magnolia or magnolia?
One tin matt, one eggshell, one soft sheen.... all waterbased....about 10 liters in all...
FREE STUFF... picked up on my travels!

Well computer algorithms are only as good as the programmer, who should not only make things work but also make things make sense ….. how many male Queens do we have on this forum ?

I don't know - heard the term 'queen bee' used in other scenarios to indicate the position in a pecking order referring to a male.

Pete may be offended!

There's old drones and bold drones but there are no old bold drones ...

My grandson asked me where the King bee was if there was a Queen bee ... Dead I said ... but he died happy ... and there ended the conversation - fortunately.

I remember a Geordie shipmate of mine giving us the tour guide treatment as we took the metro from Newcastle to the sea school in Shields, as we approached Bede old Sharkey piped up 'and now we approach the town made famous by the monk and social historian - the Venereal Bede'
