Beekeeping is a mindful, stress reducing hobby. Apiary therapy uses bees buzzing to calm the nerves. It brings focus to the present moment by putting on the bee suit, using the smoker, handling the brood boxes & the frames. Working bees are also a metaphor for a focused, patient approach to work

You may feel lonely in this world, but you're never really alone. Even now, you are surrounded by bramble witches, dark fairies, and the restless swirling spirits of ancient forest gods. Take comfort in that.

Common sense gun regulations were never the enemy of responsible gun ownership. A tyrant is the enemy of responsible gun ownership.

We are a bee keeping farmstead. Pesticides are killing so many life forms including bees and pollinators. As with many things in this country i.e. the U.S. money rules and is killing us all.
Despite an ever-growing and overwhelming body of science linking #neonicotinoids to adverse effects on #pollinators and other nontarget species, US and Canada regulations fall short in protecting the #environment and #wildlife. #PestManagementScience โก๏ธ Blog: ow.ly/8ZaX50WRnnl

Medical facilities should be protected spaces, however, these protections have been dramatically eroded in #Ukraine. Despite the repeated condemnations of these attacks, Russian forces continue to bomb hospitals and densely residential areas with drones, shells and missiles.
MSF supported this hospital from April 2022 until June 2023, before the advance of the frontline simply made it too dangerous for us to operate. Since Russiaโs invasion of #Ukraine in February 2022, more than 2,000 medical facilities have been damaged or destroyed.

Get the firm or extra firm. Slice in sandwich size pieces and dribble on some tamari. Bake at about 400 for 40 min. Turn and repeat. Super good.

What are you going through right now? We are alive; there is something, there is always something. Mindfulness reminds us that all thoughts, emotions & situations are fleeting. There is a changing nature of all things both internal and external. Pause. Breathe. Wait. It's impermanent like clouds.
