It’s not some boat-feasting substance like whatever had been eating away at steel pilings in Duluth Harbor a number of years ago, he said.

If he puts it in a certain spot in a certain room, it tells him where the ark of the covenant is.

“can you do the fandango?”

A very informative video on the subject from Practical Engineer.

Need a window in the bedroom for a fire escape, but the the rest looks solid!

Hey! You learned something today. Great job!

That design is known as “Ball and Claw”. It likely originated in the east with some symbolism, but when it went west, craftsman thought it looked cool and started copying it with minor changes.

Bee keepers move comb in and out of the hive frequently during the producing seasons. If they just cut the caps (top layer of wax) off the honeycomb, drain it, and then put the comb back in the hive, the bees have to use less energy to make comb, so they make more honey. If you put an “empty frame” (a spot with no honeycomb already on it) it takes the bees a lot more energy to make the comb so there is less honey. So it’s a trade off from the bee keepers’ perspective.

Here’s another for the road: mites are a big problem for bees. They latch on to the bees and the bees don’t feel them. One way bee keepers can encourage bees to clean themselves and knock off the mites is by covering the bees in powdered sugar! This makes it look like there are a bunch of powder white bees flying around for a while.
