Trap Out Begins 7-29-10
Jackson Arms in Glendale had bees in their exterior vent between 1st & 2nd floor. Constructed scaffolding & placed trap out Porter Bee Escape device to keep bees foraging out & hopefully evacuate vent hive workers to bait hive. When bait hive full will relocate to live out life pollinating & keeping hive alive.

Feral Apis Melifera 2010
This El Nino winter/spring has been buzzing w/ bees, bees, bees. Trying to take advantage of & rescue the swarms, cut outs, swarm trap lures, & hive splits to grow up mini apiary.
Only question is how many colonies can area support when dearth hits? Been making bee equipment, 5 frame nuc's, Lang deep hive bodies, 4" shim feeders, Lang deep frames, Lang med. frames, hive stands, swarm trap lures, & finally finish that solar wax melter. Only using repurposed woods & materials but hardware needed from home stores & have to buy premanufactured Lang frames.
Hope to make storage shed from thrown out pallets but that project is slow in going. Seen many plans/ideas here:
Keeping busy learning/ doing to be more sustainable & helping likeminded local folks to build/ keep up in their endeavors toward the same.

Augorophobia Daze 2
Was a beautiful day after deluge of a rain storm yesterday, yet had this urge to stay in & isolate from living. Saw Niki yesterday & was intoxicatingly addictive even glancing her deep sable eyes & still enveloped by her smooth litting russian accented voice... yada, yada, yada.
Augorophobic Daze
I know I'm morose or elated when the Depeche & MC Solaar is spining. The earlier is the case. Compelled to be round walls even though weather was clearing & sunny. Went yesterday to see Niki for my teeth clean.... yada, yada, yada.

Gesundheit~2005
Moved in March to TC. Started a community garden this year whoptee. Why? Guess I'm grasping to my roots, lol! Finally went vacation to northern Virginia & saw D.C. & autumn of East. I'm still morose & collecting junk & aflicted w/ this brewing augrophobia. Dreaming of the Russian, ... yada, yada, yada...
When all the world was very young, mountain magic heavy hung, the supermen would walk in file, guardians of a loveless Isle, with super fear & super haze their endless tragic lives could heave no sigh, solemn in their serenity, endless beings chained to life, David screwball Bowie.
