"my best honey producer. Beehives take a while to get established, and each hive has its own personality! My hives are traditional Langstroth hives, which are boxes
.
Each hive is it’s own little society. Bee societies consist of a queen, a small number of males, called drones, and worker bees. Worker bees are all sisters, and all bees are daughters of the queen. Worker bees either tend to the hive by storing pollen, tending the queen, making honey or tending to larvae, or they go out and forage for pollen.

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING
"Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise."
Hm.
No stick.
No sun.
