Does no one else notice how alike these two really are?
Both wanted a summer romance, no matter what they had to do for it.
Both retreat into the safety of their garments of choice when upset.
Both overreact to rejection.
Both have been at odds with others over their romances.
Both tried to control their romances out of desperation and fear of losing them (remember Mabel keeping Sev’ral Times captive in her room?)
Both have tried to be something they aren’t to impress someone else (Mabel pretending to love sock puppets/turtles/etc., and Robbie trying too hard to be “cool” instead of just being himself).
Both are willing to eat food off of their own clothing.
It’s like Robbie’s just an older, genderswapped Mabel with more angst, and even more eyeliner.
This is how you gracefully introduce kids with the concept that it’s not a bad thing to learn differently. I was really proud of this episode, I thought it was very well done.
Oooh this hits home. Especially the first two sets. Something you never get rid of into your adult life but people seem so set that its just bad behaviour that you’re supposed to ‘grow out of’ Its so nice to see it shown in this light.
I learned better when I drew while listening to what they were saying but me drawing must have meant I wasn’t paying attention so I must have been cheating to get the grades I got.
WITHOU T DISTURBING THE BEES THAT IS FANTASTIC BEES ARE GREAT
You don’t understand how fabulous this is!!
This hive structure, if it works like the descriptions imply, would make beehives something super affordable, that just about anyone could install near their home and maintain. AND it would reduce the cost of harvesting honey by more than just the money-
A typical honey harvesting device costs $200-300, plus the time it takes to use to harvest. For a Langstroth hive, you have to suit up (gear which can be pricey), remove the comb (which is highly disturbing to the bees), install said comb in the extractor (scraping all the caps off the comb first), spin out the honey, RE-open the hive (after suiting up and again disturbing the bees), and put the comb back.
If you use a method that doesn’t require an extractor, you usually end up destroying the comb, which is damaging to the hive and intensively laborious for your bees because they have to completely remake the combs from scratch.
What this looks like is that you probably wouldn’t even need to suit up any time you wanted to harvest honey (though you would still need the equipment for installation of the colony and for inspections, etc, or if you’re still getting used to the colony). Removing the viewing window on a hive doesn’t disturb the bees at all (ours hardly even notice us), and the shift in the comb to start extraction is unlikely to cause enough disturbance to merit a response.
The bees get to keep/recycle all the materials they created (aside from the honey), and you get fresh, almost-effortless honey.
Perhaps the most important and AWESOME thing about this?? The “Flow Frames” that allow for this type of extraction can be used with pre-existing hive boxes. This means that folks who already own bees that are being kept in most kinds of hives, especailly the standard Langstroth hive boxes, can replace their old frames with Flow frames without having to start from scratch.
The Indiegogo campaign to start production on these launches in just a few hours (11AM AU EST, Feb. 23rd, 2015), so if you want to help these folks revolutionize bee-keeping, I would suggest signing up for their mailing list!
