Hello N. Hug and kiss.

I'm on lit in small doses just now. Thanks for your thoughts. We are very much together, and doing what we can for people dear to us. Meanwhile I'm living in a more serious zone most of the time. No bad thing, for a while anyway.

I had a deep conversation with my best queen bee this week. She's a 2014 bee, so I was checking her agility. She seems well, and well loved by her workers who show no signs of preparing to replace her. It will be grand I think if she has one more productive season.

... my beeky rambles ... :eek:

We've been thinking of you. I know you'll be a huge help and comfort to your dear ones and to each other. And you know, sometimes when we have to be serious and responsible for a while, it makes the freer times all the more fun when they come. :heart:

Saw a bee-keeping acquaintance quite recently, his colonies are well and he reckons it's going to be a good honey year. In fact he's put out a general call for empty jars, if anyone in his circle have any! He's promising to return a proportion full of delicious honey as a reward! I'm glad your queen is doing well - would three seasons be unusual?

I'm getting the impression that hobby beekeepers are trending towards the commercial practice of replacing queens after a second season, or after one season if the colony did only moderately well in terms of surplus honey as compared with other colonies. Or else there is a silent majority who let the queen continue until the workers and she decide otherwise. I want to try that with good queens such as this one. Let them decide. They would do this by preparing just one 'supersedure' queen cell [as distinct from several queen cells in preparation for swarming]. In supersedure, once the one new queen emerges, the mother queen has to submit to her daughter's choice - to work with her until the old lady dies of natural causes, or to kill her immediately and take sole charge of the colony. It's that stark.

My friend is very nurturing and caring, I don't see him killing off an old queen for any reason. Only his second year, though. I'm going to ask him next time I see him. Interesting. He's definitely had swarming, although it sounded like it was controlled somehow, so his friend could take the swarm for her hives.

It really is nature 'red in tooth and claw', isn't it. Which makes me wonder firstly how the queen would actually kill her daughter? And if she didn't, what work would she do for her daughter?

I love that we have these conversations too, by the way, as well as the ... other sort... ;) :kiss:

i've enjoyed all of those and the teasing one where you can't fuck due to the time and place but when you do it's sooooo hot - a bit like the rip your clothes off scenario mentioned too

Teasing, yes that's good one! Like the theatre scenario. :devil: Or being naked in the sunshine on top of a Lakeland fell :devil::devil:

So where were you when you teased, hmm?

The instinct of a newly emerged queen is to sting the other queens in the hive, including any which have not emerged from their cells in the honeycomb. And so the strongest one continues the vitality of the whole colony. This is the one and only time a queen is aggressive. In the more common situation of swarming, the mother queen will have left the hive, accompanied by about 60 percent of the workers, before any of her daughters emerge. [the primary swarm]. She is 'giving' her home to one of her daughters. But in the case of supersedure, she will create only one daughter in her old age, and 'hope' that the instinct to kill is overridden by the instinct to value her mother. When that happens, the colony will have a further season or two with two queens, which means it will be huge in number - them both laying eggs - and have a huge honey surplus. A friend of mine took 200 pounds of honey one September from a colony with two queens, and they still had plenty left for their winter supply.

That's the way I want it to be, if possible, for my 2014 Lady. :)

She can sting without it being terminal for her?

Did you learn all this simply by reading, researching, practice, Simon? Or did you have a mentor?

The queen has no barbs on her sting, so that she can withdraw it. The barbs on the workers' stings mean that they cannot fly off without tearing it away from their bodies which leaves them mortally wounded.

I did a fourteen session course at our local agricultural college, the principal lecturer being an elderly gentleman with a highly respected reputation in the beekeeping world. It was his last year doing his lectures, and I feel really privileged to have sat at his feet. I keep him posted with my progress and I think he likes that. He is one of those genuine masters of his art.

And then there are books, and,guess what, interactive websites such as this one! The difference being that on the beekeeping one some people are as cutting to each other as they are on the General Board here!

I discovered a couple of weeks back that even the Government are in on this act: I had an email from DEFRA alerting me to the possibility of mid Spring starvation in northern Britain, with a set of proposals as to how to determine if one's hives were starving, and what to do about it. As happens I was aware of the problem, but it was surprising and encouraging to discover that the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs was concerned about my bees!

What would the mid-Spring starvation be? I wonder if my friend knows about that... :eek:

I seriously can't imagine that beekeepers are like the GBers? Surely you're all lovely? :confused:

(On a completely separate note: I so want to see your mod-censored cock ring picture... I wonder if a link might find its way into H's inbox?)

yes i like those, but i need to experience those locations... may i pop up :D

closest to theatre is in the middle of a cinema, and also sat in a crowded restaurant with a hand on my lap under the table :devil:

See, I don't think the restaurant one would work for me in that way, I like beautiful food too much...

I wouldn't be above being seductive with it though. Eating with my fingers, sucking juices off them, 'accidentally' spilling something delicious into my cleavage...

That sort of thing. :devil:

I've just put the link onto that thread - with an apology for posting the pic. Rules!

The starvation possibility was in consequence of such a mild winter followed by that continuous period of cold windy weather in these parts. The mild winter meant the bees were active and therefore using up their winter stores of honey faster than usual, and the queens beginning to lay fresh eggs - the larvae needing feeding - and then a shut down on the possibility of flights for foraging spring nectar. The last few days have totally ended that problem thankfully.
 
@Azuldrgon

Loved the before and after the haircut pictures! You did go short, didn't you? Is that a summer thing? My man always goes shorter in the summer, or if we're off to a hot climate. I do too, of course, but not quite in the same way ;)

Ooh, yes, so I see. *shivers*

Looks very familiar to me now :)

After yesterday's discussion elsewhere in the threads about naked sunbathing producing a two-tone cock, I'm wondering how it would go with a cock-ring too... :rolleyes: *thinks ahead to August*

The danger, of course, would be that the naked sunbathing would be curtailed somewhat by my being unable to resist jumping on him... :devil:

"Shiny, shiny", as we say in my household :D

I'm sure someone somewhere produces clear glass cockrings! That would solve the shaded ring effect, but - there just could be a prism effect! Hot but not in a good way! :eek:

In fact, here it is:

Hmm. I didn't really think the whole steel in the sun, did I? :eek: It was only you mentioning a prism effect, Simon, that gave me a sudden vision of metal heating to branding temperature in the sun :eek::eek::eek:

Don't think I'll be encouraging that experiment after all... ;)

On different types of fucking

I started thinking about this after reading
this lovely perceptive and tender post of Simon's about his woman's emotionally exhausted return after a period apart. "Husband and wife sex for real", he says, and it inspired me to think further about the variety of sex there can be in a long-term monogamous relationship.

First, a couple which don't appeal:

Maintenance - When one person fucks simply to satisfy the other's desire, even though they don't really want to. Much better to defer, I think, and both enjoy it.

To 'get' something - What?! Isn't there a rather specific name for that sort of thing? I have absolutely no issue with uncoerced sex work in any way. But in a relationship? Noooo...

These I like though:

Sleepy - aka 'morning wood'. Waking to his hand gently caressing me, feeling his hardness at my back. Or, alternatively, snaking my arm over his hip and holding him in my hand, feeling him grow or feeling him already very much awake. And then the languid pleasure of relaxed, sleepy fucking. Sometimes it feels like a dream. And then it's a secret you carry around all day.

Inspired - by porn, by reading, by browsing, by Lit... By something you've seen that you want to try. By someone else's experience. By a picture, a comment, a description. Or just by something you saw, heard, read that turned you on.

Recovery - When you've been through some difficult thing together, a family thing, a financial thing, or a work thing maybe, and want the life-affirming boost of physical closeness and release. I love the way a good fuck in these circumstances can re-focus, help put whatever it was firmly in its place.

Comfort - Similar to the above, but when the difficulty has been for one of you only. To be able to bring comfort with your body to someone you love is a beautiful thing, or to be similarly comforted by the body of your lover.

Reclaiming - After a trip away together, whether for work or play, I love the first fuck back home. It reclaims normal life, resets, restores normality (in a good way). If I've been separated from my man I like to be reclaimed too... This one also applies following the departure of house guests - at last, let the unfettered naked debauchery resume...

'Been a while' - When circumstances conspire for more days than you'd like, work, illness, too much real life, whatever. This can go one of two ways - utterly vanilla, but hugely satisfying for it, or a naughtier, lustier catch-up...

Quickie - sudden lusty urge, not really about bonding or long mutual satisfaction, just quick, hopefully dirty, rapid, possibly frantic coupling.

Planned - it can be the timing which is planned, or the location, or the specific activities themselves. But it gives a lovely sense of anticipation.

Hotel - Opening the door, seeing the room. Maybe some interesting furniture, a desk, a chair... The knowledge that the person in the next room can hear you and not caring, actually enjoying that. Maybe walking a little too close to the window on purpose in insufficiently respectable clothing. Haven't quite ever fucked in full view in the window of a hotel room, but it's tempting, very tempting...

'Clean sheets!' - Closely connected to the 'hotel' fuck. Lovely crisp, fragrant sheets on your own familiar bed. Be a shame not to rumple them...

But maybe the one I like the best is this one:

Regular - Just feeling like enjoying the giving and receiving of pleasure, the bonding and the closeness, the desire and its fulfillment. And the glorious release of an orgasm. Or several. A simple celebration of being together and enjoying one another's bodies, the learning of which began way back, and the exploration of which continues to delight. :heart:

Did I miss anything? :D

Numi, you really need to publish these, in a book or something. And if you need a research assistant, an intern, someone to just go get coffee, count me in ;)

Hey, I was wondering about something if you don't mind. Maybe I was inspired by Jen's thread but what does your username mean? I know who Numenius was. (I'm Greek) Is it a reference to that? I won't be offended if you don't want to say. I'm just curious.
