the ladies are LOUD today.
the best thing about beekeeping is the drama. it’s been a game of thrones year for our hives already. hive #3 murdered their queen on the second day of her reign and then defected to hive #2. yesterday I drove an hour and a half north to pick up a replacement nuc for the abandoned hive. it was a real cute facility with a LOT of nice looking mead that I’m really looking forward to trying. driving back from Middle Of Nowhere: Hills N Mills Edition to Middle Of Nowhere: The Black Marsh in a diesel pickup truck with a medium iced black from dunks, my dawg, and a box fulla bees on a beautiful spring day probably added like a year to my life, I’m sure of it.
while I was moving the new hive #2 in I checked up on all the other hives and discovered something even more shocking. hive #10 has undergone civil war. about half of the swarm has evidently joined hive #5 (whose comb runneth over so hardcore for a brand new hive in may I needed to give them a second super already) and — even more scandalously — even though many stayed in #10, on the farthest side of the hive from the current queen, those who remain have secretly created five replacement queens that they will pit against each other in a fight to the death, in order to send the victor after the current monarch to kill her and usurp the throne. this dark and solemn ritual is known as a supercedure and it’s the first time I’ve seen it in real life. I’m on the edge of my seat honestly — in the next couple weeks I’ll find out if the coup is successful and the new queen is established. as soon as I see new brood I’ll call it a success… and I’ll steal some babies from hive #5 to recoup some of the losses because as we all know Larvae Ain’t Loyal.
honestly talking and thinking about bees makes me feel like a lunatic because they are such interesting animals, I’m so so so lucky I get to work with them, and I really want to get very good at this (I’m mid at best at this point lol).
#weweantica#bees#<- if there’s a better filter tag I can put in there for bee avoiders let me know#I think hive 3 had a disease because a LOT died in the package by day 2#most of the ones that didn’t die fled the hive and were clumped up in a ball near the eaves#bees form a ball around something they want to kill by overheating it#they’ll do this to their queen if she is diseased or infertile when the hive is young like this#as for hive 10 I really didn’t see any brood despite there being plenty of comb which means the current queen is either dead or infertile#I think it’s fascinating that some#of the hive chose to leave and seek an established hive#and others chose to try to rebuild what community they had left#a supercedure involves creating royal jelly to feed to any existing larva to begin the transformations to queens#larva -> bee crawling around is like#3 weeks#then then new queens all fight and the winner kills the old queen which takes however long it needs to#then the new queen has to take her one and only flight to a secret meeting place where all the drones in a three mile radius gather#so she can mate with however many she feels is appropriate#(drones have sex once and their penis literally explodes audibly and they die in midair)#(for real)#and then new queen has to get back to the hive and start gestating#and within a few days of that begin laying eggs#which when they hatch in about a week will need to be HAND FED by worker bees for two weeks#meaning all told a supercedure take easily 5-6 weeks to successfully pull off#and a bee’s lifespan is only 5-7 weeks as it is#so like#it’s DESPERATE#and the generation that pulls it off will die before they see the hive truly restored

So are any of your peahens brooding right now? Any more babies in the forecast?? Just curious :)
Yep, Aris and Arcana are sharing a questionable nest and Corona is nesting in the barn with what I am going to guess are a few dud eggs (since Polaris was in horny jail for being an asshole) and one (1) egg from Arcana/Indie that I'm hoping goes and hatches for her. I have no idea if any of the eggs under Aris and Arcana will hatch; they shared a nest a few years ago and did fine. Aurora and Eclipse did Not do fine this year. There's also some of Eclipse's eggs in the incubator, which should be hatching a few days after Aris' do, and I'm HOPING that I will be able to just shove those babies under Aris overnight, because all babies belong to Aris and her interminable motherly rage.

So I might have gotten so thoroughly distracted by Veilguard that I kinda forgot this blog exists. >.>
We haven't really done anything since the last post. I did keep up the breeding and the thylas and archelons are finished, just need to raise the turtles. They actually gave us 6 perfect babies in the end, so we have our breeders plus a pair for each of us. \o/
We're kinda just waiting for Extinction now, planning to get on it as soon as we can and get a good base spot. I know what I want to build, even did a test build in single-player to show Kel, but it's staying a surprise here until it's done. >.>
I discovered where the wyvern trench is on Reverence and went to see it a couple days ago but had a major disappointment. The trench itself looks amazing and I did have wyverns spawning, but it's in a cave. And ALL the caves on that map have the teleport bug where if I'm not walking on the ground I get teleported up above it. And since the wyvern nests are all up on the walls, I can't get to any of them. >.<
I may uninstall the map once I've tamed a 140 giga I found. I've been wanting to play Astraeos or the official maps more anyway, plus I just found out the creator of The Volcano has finally ported it to ASA so I want to get that installed asap and check it out. So I could use the hard drive space anyway.

Playing subnautica again and struggling a lil bc I set rules that I wouldn't panic-cheat w console commands this time
so base building has been a lil slow but I'm having fun!! I thought it was high enough to not have a problem with a tube I wanted to build to my bedroom so I just stacked it on top like a lil attic instead
Also, I found a time capsule!!! There was a water filtration suit inside which is a massive boon for me bc I struggle keeping enough water, not so much with food

which came first, the headline writer or the headline?
i mean i'm not saying i think i know who stole 100k eggs but i do know the rooster doesn't stray far from the hen
How many mysterious eggs does a guy have to eat to get taken by the fae these days
#ohh i'mmalette this one be#syke there are at least a dozen puns in this carton#initially i balked at trying to take it to a dozen puns but then i was like- 'what am i chicken'#i wanna be in the pitch room when that idea was hatched#amidst film noir lighting- 'now they're really coming home to roost' i'd say cynically yet completely vaguely#i think i need to let these puns incubate for a bit they're not ready for the light of day#*wheezing* 'how many puns is that? 11? fml' *breathing into a paper bag*#*poaches your egg meme*#hopefully me awarding honorary puns to OP and replier's each reply is not overly cocky of me#baker's dozen of egg puns?? may want to cook them all at once put them into breakfast sandwiches and freeze for ur week#OP if you're guilty all I can say is those 100k eggs are not very mysterious looking in and of themselves#like i guess the mystery is in like was it really them? bit heady if you ask me#those are just some basic chicken eggs if you really wanna conjure fae attention get u even one dragon egg#they have them at michaels but only the antarctica branch#clearly very serious about the manic pixie dream boy energy here#I guess pixies are fae folks when they do drugs#clearly i need decaf#deleted my extended tag rant about Fetlife users based in Antarctica because it's just too soon to break that out my god lol#*me as shrek glowing eyes meme* also me as donkey 'you just met this person can you...not...talk about fetlife in the first 2 seconds'#but i mean they do have fae-conjuring dragon eggs on fetlife down in antarctica from what i hear

the apprehension you feel when you hatch an egg and see two matching colors is unparalleled

its always our favourite thing when a headmate who has been worrying and stressing over another headmate who is not doing well is able to see the person they're caring for be comfortable for once bc it's always the most massive sense of relief for both of us
