    Sugar babies! 3/3 hives are alive. We cracked them open during the warm spell today to feed sugar blocks (seen in 1st photo) to the honey bees as insurance against starvation. But they have ample honey stores still. (Hey, look at the bees peering up at us in the 2nd photo. Hi!)

    DYK – Hiking in nature can change your brain for the better! Research has found that spending time in nature lowers obsessive, negative thoughts which can lead to depression.

    Springtails (snow fleas) on a mild winter day, eating + drinking microscopic matter on snow. A protein in their bodies prevents them freezing so all year long they eat decaying organic matter and contribute to healthy forest floor decomposition.

    For years, I would force myself to write at least 25 possible titles for each article. Almost without fail, the best ideas came later in the list. The lesson: Don’t stop early. Ideas that are easy to think of are obvious. The good ideas come after the obvious ones are gone.

    Great start 2 the lunar year! Chinese New Year dinner w friends. Our fortunes, written by other guests + picked @ random: Louise's "May you spend the year w the love of your life." Ellen's "You will take up boxing + be good at it." Let's imagine there's no overlap between those.

    This female crab spider is very... popular (female crab spider is feeding on a bee, a male rides on her back, and around them are kleptoparasitic flies that leech on the fresh prey)

    My habit-tracking sheet lets me see which habits are easy and which ones I resist. Then I can decide which to keep or let go of, and how to batch and stack habits for least resistance and most efficient and effective action.

    ‘Perhaps if we learn to save a bee today we can save the world tomorrow?’ A great read on bees, their ecology, and efforts of scientists to improve their state, including reintroducing locally extinct ones. 3: A Sting in the Tale by . – mjesto: Blk 424, Serangoon Central

    Concepts linked to identity can be beneficial until they get in your way. Use them when and while they are helpful but be willing to let go of your attachment to them. -Athlete -Retired -Parent -Anxious -Depressed -Manager -Leader -Teacher -Student -Creative -Failure -Success

    We tend to believe that what we’re experiencing is a mistake, that our lives are a mistake. Meditation is a moment in which we sit with ourselves, with our lives, with the contents of our own hearts, without arguing with what we discover. That’s the peace we’re all searching for.

    Good conversations are happening, and must continue, about what we eat and how we grow it. Every time we learn more, we can make choices.

    10 am, -15C. The honey bees live: I hear a gentle buzzing from all three hives. Honey bees stay warm by forming a tight cluster, queen in the middle, and make heat by vibrating the muscles that move their wings. We can sometimes hear this buzzing.

    Here’s an idea. If you’re looking for some company and to feel loved how about visiting a nursing home regularly or a pet shelter or volunteering to help at a homeless shelter. SMH.
