Bumble Bee Trap-out Update #2

It's been three weeks now.
The bees aren't budging.

Experienced advice says the chances of success w/ this method are grim.

In fact, he said chances of Bumble Bee Trap Outs are usually unlikely. 

Perhaps we need to make a bee vacuum? 

Have a good weekend :]

The New Spotify

A couple week/weeks ago? Spotify changed their layout.

- There are no more Starred songs :'( Stars were fun :) 

- Love the new "Artists" section under "your music" :) (although i cant remember if they had it before)

- I can't just hit the delete button anymore to go back to the previous browsing page :'( 

- Large icons are eye pleasing :), yet I find it difficult to see the larger of list :(

- I don't get news feed on what my friends do :'( say when they add songs to their pl's. Although i kinda like it cuz now i can just feel free. ya nah i mean? tee hee (update: that's been updated too so)

- The playlist lists are separated more; making me scroll more :(
- I Can't send songss to anyone anymore?!!? (update: yes, you can still send songs via right-click)

Either way, I still LOVE they way you come through 

with the music, with privilege to  choose 

thank you 

::bows:: 

a touched soul - and 

you can hit it anytime ;)

there's no wrong or right

so do yo thang, Spotify. 

just as long as you keep it tight ;)

stay true to you

n do what you do

by the end of tha night, 

im in bed asleep w you ;)

love you :) 

Believe In Our Youth

I've been seeing this floating around my social media lately, and
It reads "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow" by Aubrey

true, yes,  I believe
and believe too - in our youth
i try to be nice to them
esp. if going through school

cuz school is hella cruel
it will bite you up
and give you a good chew
spit you up - as if you were "old news"

anywhos..
All we need to do
is come through
and let them know
that we've been there too
;) ::hugs::

so for the seeds of you
and for the seeds of me,
let's nurture the seeds that all belong to we

we too believe
for tomorrow's humanity
to raise them greens
and to raise our teens

Bumble Bee Trap-out Update

Since putting up the "hive" for ChiChiBall's in-home Bumble Bee challenge, i've visited it everyday and have some updates ^__^

Set-up day: A special shout out to ChiChiBall, Mad Dog, and brother DC. I love this pic! ROFL!!!!

Day 1 (4/1/14): It was around 2pm and it's been raining. I noticed the confirmed Bumble Bees are still flying in and out of the trap hole :'(   They're not having trouble getting back into their original spot.  But! The couple minutes I spent observing, I noticed a bee fly into our homemade trap.  Though i'm not sure if it was an accident, it's good news! :)  I also noticed there are different size bees; some being around 40% smaller than the largest one i've noticed.  The larger bees are the ones that are coming back with filled pollen baskets (see picture below). Unfortunately, I also noticed some of the bees continuing to go in the sides of the trap so we know there are still some openings.

Day 2 (4/2/14): It was 5:40pm and there's definitely more action going on here on day 2.  I found a dead wet bee upon arrival :'( see her picture below.  Otherwise, some bees seem to know exactly what they're doing; flying straight into the hole of the trap we set up.  Other bees fly onto the wall and try to walk in the side cracks.  Other bees fail to land on the trap mesh; but get in after a couple tries.  Since there's only one hole, there seems to be a "waiting line" or "taking turns" to use the hole :P (i am so immature =__+) I took some videos but not advanced enough yet to troubleshoot them onto Blogger.  So LOTS of bees (enough to completely cover the side cracks) were just stagnant; waiting to get in da club :P hahahah! jk of course.  These latter guys seem to be unaware of the hole so it's kinda working - yay!!    I stood directly below the hive to monitor the stagnant guys and a bee came wailing towards me. I hid behind my big hair and lowered myself to the floor ( I must've been interesting to observe myself hahaha! I have another video on this fallen bee too, but again, sorry for the technical difficulties ::insert 'im imperfectly perfect' mantra::)  After today's observation, I conclude they're having a hard time getting in and out of their old hive.  Their flying pattern is definitely disturbed; making it harder for them to come in and out of the trap.  It's kind of heartbreaking to see them struggle but the good news is today I saw 3-5 bees hanging out INSIDE our hive setup! They weren't hanging for long but it feels as if they're scoping out the new spot.  Hopefully they'll find our hive a lot more convenient than their current situation.

look closely and you'll notice a bee on our house - yay! :D

Our fallen sister. I took her home. She likes Jose Melendez in the mix.

ChiChiBall, have you observed them? What's your stat?

Be Gentle: A a heartfelt spiritual website for my sistahs and brothas too.. ;)

I stumbled upon Mysticmamma because of her New Moon post.
I highly recommend going to her Read the Signs section (or wherever you heart desires) for all sorts of inspiration.
Enjoy, my friends :)

ps:updates on confirmed Bumble Bees at ChiChiBall's place plus a sad story to come :'(

double ps/update: I apologize I fear that I will be judged. Currently feeling ashamed about for my humbling learning moments; the sad story will have to wait for courage to come through - pretty soon i hope.

meanwhile.... Be Gentle With Yourself (also from MysticMama)
