Today’s philosophical musings are on the subject of going cold turkey When I was young and barely dry I learnt there was nothing better Than to keep in contact with my friends By writing them a letter. The telephone I didn’t like When fixed upon the wall I never had any privacy As I was […]

Looking back on a year of working remotely
It is only in comparatively recent years that attention has been given to bee-keeping on a scientific basis. Aforetime there were certain traditional methods to be followed to secure the honey harvest, but those who practised them knew neither the why nor wherefore. Today, however, thanks to the observations of our great scientists on the life and habits of the bee, to their patience and diligence in noting the insect’s manner of working, we are in possession of knowledge which has enabled the practical bee-keeper to reduce the old haphazard ways to method, orderliness, and definite purpose.
The budding bee-keeper, as he reads one or other of these great works on the bee and its ways, may begin to wonder if it is not all too wonderful for him to deal with, and if he may ever hope to become proficient in the art and practice of bee-keeping. Let me say, here and now, that, given patience, perseverance, and diligence, a measure of success is open to anyone who brings intelligence into his work.
I’m spending more time with
my family, exercising more,
and getting more sleep.
Although the doubts and difficulties that assail the tyro, and the questions arising therefrom, might raise a smile from the expert—if only as a reminder of his own early aspirations and efforts—yet there is no reason for despair; though disappointments are certain to arise, they should be accepted merely as spurs to further effort, as steps towards the ultimate goal of success.
Some may think—rashly—that there is nothing new to be said or learned about the bee, but the fact is that even scientists are still ignorant as to the definite uses of certain of the insect’s organs, and of the origin and remedies of some of the diseases from which it suffers. Putting aside, therefore, the merely commercial aspect of bee-keeping, there is still a wide field of interest and research open for exploration by the intelligent bee-keeper.

A Word To The Righteous – September 11, 2022

Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his own way and the unrighteous his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon… [Isaiah 55:6- 7] A word to the righteous: […]

I Am Corona: Alien Replicant

“It is inconceivable alien life is non-existent. The naivety of humans is to believe life originated here.“ Peck, augmented AI. “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, […]

The CIA asks Dr. Nolan to study UFOs saying, “People have died.”

“It’s 100% real. There’s no doubt about it. The data [of the harmful physical effects associated with UFO encounters] is real.” … “It’s unscientific to not study it. And if you’re going to be that way, you’re not a scientist, you’re a priest.” – Garry Nolan, PhD, immunologist cancer researcher at Stanford University.

Cromwell Mortimer and the first modern era UFO Sighting

With the nights rapidly drawing in towards winter, some of us are more able to spend time outside to look up at the starry skies, observing the moon, planets and various phenomena as well the aeroplanes and satellites. Perhaps we might even see an unidentified flying object. We tend to think of these as being […]

PHOTO PROMPT © David StewartI’d just passed into the backyard through the breezeway between the barn andhouse and froze. Light! I stared straight ahead and thought, “Straight ahead.” The light that appeared without a sound had straight edges and the shadowsof my legs were parallel with those edges. Impossible. I turned towards the glare in […]

Close Encounters with a UFO

Imagine for a moment you are in the passenger seat of Kim’s car, a two-door canary yellow Toyota Corolla circa 1979. Kim is driving and chatting happily as the car motors along the western highway to a recreational lake and water catchment area, about 80 or so km from the city and your home. Kim […]
