How are things done there on the other side of the world? Do you move your bees to fields with these flowers
Rewarewa is a early bush/forest crop that we move the hives to, then they get moved off to Manuka
Flying hives into Manuka: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE9yuSvimw0&ab_channel=Sa…
TIL proper name for that thing
I’m making this, again from waste honey. I would’nt subject good honey to this treatment

We are heading into autumn, I’m thinking of going both a feijoa and a persimmon mead. I also have some honeys ready for mead; a Bochet (anout 12kg), another 35kg of clover honey, about 10kg of reject manuka from cleaning out the filters, and some 30kg of medium pasture (again from cleaning filters)
I currently have these meads going:
- ginger and clover honey
- rewarewa

So, what’s you point?
I have given you a list of poor democracies that are ‘republics’ and a list of strong democracies that many/most of which are a constitutional monarchy of some flavour or another.

Does it have location sharing like google’s services?

Is very easy, by @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat. Not sure if they are doing more updates though?

You have had some really good replies so far.
In the mountains realty could mean anything
- I’ve done winter camping in snow - in the mountains
- I’ve done summer camping (in snow, shit can go sideways) - in the mountains
- I’ve done subtropical camping - in the mountains
- I’ve done temperate camping - in the mountains
- I’ve done 90 mph wind camping - in the mountains
- I’ve also done some absolutely drop dead breathtaking camping in the mountains
As others have said, beperpaired for it to be colder than you expect.
Are you walking / hiking in, or car?
Enjoy it

Not really sure of the question.
on my smaller batched I will normally use just a single full dose, anything above 15-20 l I split it
- Comment on Happy little bugs 3 weeks ago:
no the honey wasn’t wet, in fact it was a bit on the dry side (was recovered from a plastic pallet that wet honey had leaked onto - not that clean so couldn’t go into the batch). Being on the dry side it was hard to get to fully dissolve - thus the est on the OG.
It was 5L of honey and I used the GotMead calc. I’m not too worried if it’s on the upper end of a starting OG and it stays a little on the sweet side.
For fermentation time, I’m in no hurry and I expect it will sit in primary for the next 3 or 4 weeks.
I’ll probably give it a second dose of firmaid tomorrow

- Comment on Adding flavours to extract. 4 weeks ago:
It’s what I brew.
Very easy to add botanicals, fruit or even spices to get something very easy to brew and drink.
I currently have a hopped mead and a ginger mead brewing, the ginger one is my current goto
- about 1.8kg of light colour/flavoured honey (currently using a lotus major)
- somewhere between 100g and 200g of grated root ginger
- make to 5l
- add champagne style yeast and nutrients

I must say its 20 odd years ago that we went, I’m sure the world was a simpler place
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 1 month ago:
For me it was Russia when I spent aroubd 9 days there (in and around Moscow). The people were genuinely friendly and there we not the scammers/tourist traps like in most of Europe and Asia.
The markets were as interesting as any I’ve been to in Asia/North Africa.
