#honeycomb

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

The first book from the #honeycomb is "The Story of Ferdinand". It was published in 1936 and was radical in terms of its understanding of masculinity and the high value of individuality. It is striking however that Ferdinand is never part of a society. He is the happy outsider who does not want to fight, but would much rather smell flowers (alone).
Ferdinand's pacifism has no consequences for him, quite the opposite of the book we will present next. #books #literature #politics #bookstodon

Continued thread

Final update (hopefully) on the bee swarm. Yesterday they had left the tree and moved into my compost barrel.
After talking to the local bee wrangler this morning we were reassured that it would be safe to open up the barrel to hopefully persuade the bees to move out.

I did just that and found some comb but very few bees. It looks like they had already decided the barrel wasn't suitable. Likely it was too hot for them (it's 90 odd degrees out today).
I just hope they found somewhere safe and out of human's way for their new home!

@raikas thank you for speaking up! #openwashing is a slap in the face of all honest opensource contributors.
on top of that, i read a lot of advertising which may even be factually correct, but suggests that saas was #opensource . like when #aws boasts about their "support for opensource" or #honeycomb here: honeycomb.io/open-source-obser
neither services are oben source, neither grant the four freedoms of free software gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.

Honeycomb[paid] The Open Source Observability Landscape

A small swarm moved into my bait hive I had up a tree a couple of weeks ago. Got it down today and opened it up to reveal this beautifully crafted honeycomb, really calm bees and plenty of brood. I've cut this out and put the bees and all their comb in a nuc so I can move them into my apiary in a few days.
