Oh no, it's not just you, it's everyone.  We are preparing for a move to a new server, so whenever that happens, the problems should be resolved.  We're having a suspicious overload of guests right now that seems to be at least partially crawlers and spambots combing the site, and that should cease when we get the updated security of the new server.  Robo and Eivindm are working on the situation currently.  Thanks for your patience, everyone.

GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: Pecan sap

Aphids work on Pecan and Black Walnut and the bees work the "honey dew" the aphids produce.  I have heard bees in both Pecan and walnut trees that sounded like a 747 taking off.  A master beekeeper in our club said this makes bad tasting honey.

COMPUTER TECH HELP FORUM / Technical Difficulties?

I've been locked out a whole lot lately. Is it just me? I see some posts have been made by others at times that I was unable to read anything. FWIW, the 2A forum that I haunt has had a lot of similar issues for the past several months now. They are tight lipped about everything but it seems like they have reduced the number of 'guests' viewing and things have improved. I only assume that there is a connection and it is possible that it is just coincidence.

Most sap is somewhat sweet, even if watered down.  You probably could have made some syrup...

Now a days dairy male calves cost around $100. I have bottle fed calves and due to the cost of the powdered milk is so expensive it is not worth raising calves without the cow.
My buddy used to get 30 of them and feed them all before going to school and feed them in the evening. The powdered milk was cheap enough to make it worth raising and selling them once they were on grass.

Somewhere I have a galvanized bucket with a nipple on it. It's been around as long as I have and the galvanize was still looking good the last time I looked at it. I think it's full of bolts right now.

Yep...
