HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR MEMBER NAME?

[dikhou]

dikhou is just an abbreviation of my first and second name - boring !!!.

I am a beginning beekeeper in UK. Keen to learn and also to use hive monitoring like hivetool. I made a top bar hive last winter and started a swarm in there in June. Unfortunately the swarm was tiny (about a couple of pints) and I believe the wasps got it after they had made a couple of small combs!  Maybe they just took off after rattling around in such a large space?

I have since got a couple of standard hives (BS Nationals) and have one very vigorous colony which I am feeding and treating for Varroa in the hope of getting them through the winter. Hop[e they get off to a flying start in March or April. At the moment they are very active bringing in stores which I am supplementing with syrup. The weather here on the east coast of England UK is very mild just now - an Indian summer already!

I'd be glad of advice on how to get registered on hivetool.org or .net to find out more about data logging.

All the best :)

[hivepirate]

the area i live in has a long history of pirates, with even the local football team calling themselves the pirates.  i perform cutouts and removals, so i thought hivepirate would be a cute name that both reflects what i do and the area i do it in. 

[Hops Brewster]

I grow hops for my homebrew. :cheer:

[Happy Hollow]

In 1973, my parents moved from the Seattle WA area to Montana.  Kindergarten was optional there then.  My parents bought a log cabin church plus the minister's house for $25,000 and we moved and transformed the church into Happy Hollow Kindergarten.  In 2011, I bought a beautiful 3 acre place outside Washington DC. It is as if a helicopter put a house inside a park.  It's name...   Happy Hollow.

I was thinking Dude! but Sweet! seemed more intuitive. Like honey.  ;)

[Eric Bosworth]

When I was in college there were a bunch of Erics. I however was the only Bos. I don't remember what was said or who said it but I jokingly said "that's Bos The Great to you..." Then I said I kinda like the sound of that. So that so that is where btg came from.

One names himself after a plant endemic to his area and the other uses the name of a beer endemic to his area  :cheer:
