I personally recommend natural swarm for a first hive. You get to start clean and from scratch. Bees from natural swarm are eager to start building their new home and are usually much quicker to establish a colony than bees from frames with brood or package.
Once you sorted that out though the combs were perfect and easy to manage. Sometimes you get lucky and they "listen" you from the beginning though.
Honeycomb is something else. You have to make sure that you kind of separate brood and honey and that again takes management. I just left them to their own and just took a comb or two of honey at the end each year. The last few combs were always 100% honey. I also let them swarm multiple times per year (had smaller Kenyan hive - 15 bars ) so I had practically no issues with Varroa in these.
I populated them with my own swarms or packages. Or are you asking about rearing queens?
I find it quite disturbing accusing Brazilians of "booing" at sports event when you could and can see this in events such as US Open, Wimbledon and other "clean and gentlemany" sports when the opponent is from some other country than US or UK. Let's not get into more "dirtier" sports now where booing is de facto standard.
Booing is not something invented and exclusive to third world countries or Brazil for that matter.
Hypocrisy much?
The job market is not so good as in the US but what you're saying is simply not true.
1. Go and build a telescope - https://stellafane.org/tm/atm/
It involves manual labor and thinking as well. Grind that mirror. Make sure you finish it and then go out and see the stars.
2. At your job do absolute minimum and go home as soon as it's possible.
3. Go out and do some charity work. By doing it you're not only helping others but helping yourself as well to feel better. It's kind of an egoistic thing as well but who cares.
Don't get me wrong. It was always this way. Maybe today it's a little better than in other periods in history but we still didn't evolve much. We're all talk mostly.
It's one of the lies that became "truth" in some parts of the Internet.
We get so much queries from the small business owners why their site doesn't bring any new customers. It's all because of "templating". They end up pretty much with an "online business" card. The whole thing is a screw up from the ground up. It takes us months to get their website anywhere where it can be seen...most of the time it would be better to just do it from scratch. And at the end cheaper.
If you're serious about your business you will hire a team that can do the design, copy and SEO so that you can actually bring new clients at your door.
Currently we are all raising kids that will not be ready for the world in 10-20 years. I am sure of that. Kids from other parts of the world will have the advantage in pretty much all fields.
Before coming here I visited and lived in many European countries and Italians for sure are the loudest in public settings (restaurants for example) - especially when there are many of them together. From my experience from Greek Islands Englishmen are the loudest of all - at home in England they are quiet and polite though . Germans are the quietest ones when traveling to other countries but loud at home sometimes.
All this is totally my subjective point of view of course.
Charge for it but don't try and fool me with "I am nice and doing good" talk.
The feedback you got of not being man enough was just compensation for that other person not being human enough.
Screw her and all the other who think of you that way. You are a software engineer. That probably means you are smarter than most people on this world. They respect and are scared of you and your knowledge. That's why some try and put you down.
Go and earn even more money until you can say "Fuck You" to all. Cherry-Pussycat that will praise and adore you will come eventually.
Wish you the best.
When we tracked conversion the best converting page on the site was one made specifically for that and it is 100kb and loaded instantly. Two images and lots of text. They still insist on slow, beautiful pages elsewhere instead of making them convert as well.
It's pretty obvious to me that they pushed him. First he was pushed out from the company and then they tried to push him out of the bigger deal with $100,000.
All Internet outcry in the last few days about this is also pretty indicative. They used their influence to portray Guillory as a bad character all in "we are angels" and he's a freeloader way. Which of course considering Guillory previous work in the field is suspicious. He certainly contributed at the beginning and probably that contribution was very, very important for the company. Otherwise they wouldn't go all the way to $4.5 million.
The interesting point you make about "presence of mind". Exactly. No one in this case has the presence of mind. It reeks of anger and revenge. I feel the same way so I am rooting for the small guy here.
