Collony Collaps Disorder

[Finsky]

The top of saunas is "smoke sauna". It has not chimney and flames are inside the house. The bath is very soft and pleasant.  Problem is that they tend to burn easily. 

In picture the chimney gives fresh air to smoke sauna and it begins from roof.

That is style which we appreciate here.

>I have read that American indians have had tent saunas too. Hot stones in the middle on teepee.

It's an Inipi.  More like an upside down willow basket covered with old buffalo robes.  Of course those have gotten hard to come by, so old carpet or tents or tarps are more common.

Now we are near final solution! Beehives into Inipi and then we pour acetic acid on hot stones!

Bees in sauna !

We have in Finland term "louse sauna".  It means that in good old years children, soldier and so on, they went into sauna where was something delousening stuff .

I heard a program on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory about this problem from a award winning specialist in apiculture - he said: "In the early 80s we had Tracheal Mites and understood it, in the late 80s came Varroa and are still striving to get this under control, but CCD has us puzzled, especially in California where mass exodus of bees and dwindling hive count is hard to study because as instinctual and compulsive as bees are, this defies their natural behavior."

Could a species SO DEPENDANT ON PHEROMONES be receiving a signal that has turned on a suicide mechanism in hives? Is something triggering man-kept colonies to be breeding grounds for Feral repopulating bees, are they triggered to repopulate the deep wild and using us as a means to build up  their numbers - is man feral bees enablers in a mass time of species change?

.

So CCD has so many affects! It is really infectious .

I read just that one reason is  BBP    (Bad Beekeeping Practice)

[kathyp]

you know that whole alien thing we were talking about??  they haven't dwindled...they've just gone on home......

Finsky, I had a different image in my head of what you looked like. Not anything like your picture above.

Kev,

What's the reference to swinging birches about? I recall that Russians (and maybe Finns?) like to swing birch branches around to cool themselves inside their saunas.

That bunch of  birch twings are mention to rise the tempereture  on skin.

I'm laughing like crazy about that one. I has nothing to do with the sauna, although with the temps around here lately a good sauna would be nice. Reinbeau picked it up on another post a couple of days ago. It's a quote from a Robert Frost Poem "Birches." It's a fine poem about a love and other things. Here's the whole poem.

Birches

WHEN I see birches bend to left and right   
Across the line of straighter darker trees,   
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.   
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay.   
Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them          5
Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning   
After a rain. They click upon themselves   
As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored   
As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.   
Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells   10
Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust—   
Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away   
You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.   
They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load,   
And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed   15
So low for long, they never right themselves:   
You may see their trunks arching in the woods   
Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground   
Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair   
Before them over their heads to dry in the sun.   20
But I was going to say when Truth broke in   
With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm   
(Now am I free to be poetical?)   
I should prefer to have some boy bend them   
As he went out and in to fetch the cows—   25
Some boy too far from town to learn baseball,   
Whose only play was what he found himself,   
Summer or winter, and could play alone.   
One by one he subdued his father's trees   
By riding them down over and over again   30
Until he took the stiffness out of them,   
And not one but hung limp, not one was left   
For him to conquer. He learned all there was   
To learn about not launching out too soon   
And so not carrying the tree away   35
Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise   
To the top branches, climbing carefully   
With the same pains you use to fill a cup   
Up to the brim, and even above the brim.   
Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,   40
Kicking his way down through the air to the ground.   
   
So was I once myself a swinger of birches;   
And so I dream of going back to be.   
It's when I'm weary of considerations,   
And life is too much like a pathless wood   45
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs   
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping   
From a twig's having lashed across it open.   
I'd like to get away from earth awhile   
And then come back to it and begin over.   50
May no fate wilfully misunderstand me   
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away   
Not to return. Earth's the right place for love:   
I don't know where it's likely to go better.   
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,   55
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk   
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,   
But dipped its top and set me down again.   
That would be good both going and coming back.   
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.   60

Eva's disorder polka LDP

To listen in Finnsh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvVBCNcL_A&eurl=

nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
ıevan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän ıeva sen jutkutti,
sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.

salivili hipput tupput tapput
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.
halituli jallaa tilituli tallaa
tilitili tilitili tilitili tallaa.
halituli tilitali jallati jallan,
tilitali talitali helevantaa.

the sound of a polka drifted from my neighbor`s
and set my feet a-tapping oh!
ıeva`s mother had her eye on her daughter but
ıeva she managed to fool her, you know.
`cause who`s going to listen to mother saying no
when we`re all busy dancing to and fro!

I should have known better than to ask. But seriously guys, thanks for the edification. The Frost poem is beautiful and I should have caught that being partial to his work.

Finsky - thanks for correcting my grave misconception. I will certainly repair to YouYube momentarily  but...one question: the birch branches - does one apply them gently or does one LAY ON as we say, like the flagellants of old? (pardon this ever increasing digression. It IS fascinating..)

The style is like you would kill mosqitoes on your skin.    And your face looks like you try to stay alive in hot hell.

Does anyone know why a well would be dug up on a hill? Seems it would be a shallower well if dug at the foot of the hill. And then Jack wouldn't have broke his crown and had Jill land on top of him.

[Understudy]

hmmmm.
