We’ve had a hard time with bees on the homestead. We usually catch wild swarms, (unfortunately always late in the swarm season) and the never seem to be able to build up enough supply to last them the winter. But this year, we’ve just discovered that two of our hives have been colonized. I’m tempering my enthusiasm until they make it through the winter. #beestr #growstr

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.” Alexander Fraser Tytler

I won the Blockhunters game at the Noderunners conference in Amsterdam this weekend. The youngest of us, 7y/o, won by hodling his bitcoin the whole game. Thanks @onthebrinkie for a great conference. Until next year!
