This is feed for beekeepers. It's run from a contributor list that I maintain and pulls posts using the keyword beekeeper, hive, honey, varroa or the honeybee emoji 🐝.

If you want to join the conversation, use #addbeekeeper in a post and I'll add you.

🦎 Oops! No Lizard pictures today!
But I did see this Lizard yesterday!
Almost adult male green anole on his way down some sort of stem lifts his head to look at us with lizardly disdain.

If it's not back by next week, I'm going to hit them hard with a major and I mean major leaflet campaign!

Here used to be the best coffee machine in the building. But no more. #coffee
An empty kitchen space with tiles and a significant lack of coffee machine.

Clean as a whistle. No over heating problems this afternoon! #smallfarmlife
The front radiator of my tractor after it's been cleaned of seed fluff.

The seeds had covered the radiator too. Its a new 2nd hand tractor for me and it took me ages to find the lever to open it up after i saw the temperature gauge touching the red. I'm going to get the shop vac out to clean it properly

If you don't keep your tractor grill free of fluffy seeds, it's ability to cool the engine will be impaired. Ask me how i know! #smallfarmlife

Interesting. We had to shovel out the ash each day before starting the fire so that shoot could have saved a lot of work.

D'y'all not have a fire grate? In all the houses with open fires, we had a metal grate which allowed the ash to fall through. Are you building you fire on the floor of the fire place.

Being an adult is hard but occasionally I can decide to have cake for lunch and then cake for dessert. So that's nice. #cake #cakeisnice

Ugh...5am alarm and the commute in to Houston was most unwelcome but the sky this morning was beautiful. #beautifulsky #fullmoon
A bright moon shines through low clouds.

We are lucky to have a neighbour who comes to visit twice a day. And by the state of the house when we got back i think they might have had a couple of illicit parties while we were gone.

RoadTrip. End of the road. BonBon and Doggo join me for an impromptu snuggle now that we're home. Big Boy Clyde is under the table still a little irked at being left alone for so long. #dogs #cats
Grey and white cat leaning against me on one side and a white dog leaning against the other.

I'm starting to go native. I held it from OKC until I crossed the border to Texas and a buc-ee's restroom.

I did not get any Lizard pictures today, but I did see TWO (2!) green anoles yesterday!
Here is the second one!

Adult female green anole climbing u a wedelia leaf with her back to us. She has a mottled stripe down her spine that looks quite like a blade of grass with seed pods on it.

RoadTrip. Day Friday. The Oregon trail in Nebraska. You have died of an easily prevented disease. Thanks, brainworm guy. #vaccines
A man holding on to the horn of part of a 6 oxen team (made of plastic) hitched to a wagon at Scott's bluff.

🦎 Baby Lizard of the Day just woke up!
Incredibly tiny baby green anole clings to a wedelia leaf, looking extremely waif-like. Same baby lizard, viewed from a distance so we can see how incredibly teeny tiny & itty bitty he is, cautiously makes his way up a wedelia stalk. He is so tiny! Did he just hatch? Is this the first time he has ever climbed anything?

RoadTrip. Day...I have no idea. but here is a picture of a bear.

🦎Lizard of the Day suspects you are not a bug!

Also, I don’t have a picture because I was holding Cat, but Gobblekins saw me pick up Cat & was SO CONFUSED!
This has happened several times before, & Gobblekins is always flummoxed & looks all over to see where Cat went!😹
Juvenile green anole climbing up some sansevieria leaves, turning its head to look at you with deep suspicion!

The Ryder Cup is a perfect microcosm for America in 2025 - overhyped, performatively chesty, whiny, and boorish. IOW, a 'complete embarrassment'
