Rejected by the "Ladies"

I never claimed to be an expert beekeeper.
There are simply two honeybee hives in the food forest
project in MN, and we occasionally check in on them
and wrap them up snug for the winter.

I dont know tons about bees, and believe that by
leaving them alone and providing good food and shelter
for them, maintenance is hardly needed.
This is my viewpoint on gardening and health overall.

Less is more.

So...I went against that a little bit a month ago
to see just what was cooking in their hives.



One hive is mellow, which wasnt filmed because
there wasnt much to show and I only have 10 min on youtube.
The other hive though is quite aggressive, and will
even attack when the lid is simply taken off the top.

Usually it is the guards near the entrance of the hive
that are the tough ones, but these bees all take part.

Bees cannot hear, which is a good thing.
I felt that I had to speak so loud to talk with my
dad and was worried that it would disturb them.

Ive heard that they sense fear, and although I wasnt
really scared, I was tense as hell after getting stung in
my finger twice. It was getting to be too frustrating so I gave up
and let them be. Honey is being made, so that is all we need to know.

I used to sit in front of the hives last year and meditate,
usually sitting about 2 feet away from the entrance.
They would just buzz right by as if I wasnt there.
I didnt move much, but still.

These bees now will get aggressive with you if you are picking
vegetables 15 feet from the hive...pretty sassy for sure.

You just cant avoid getting stung eventually.
Maybe Im wrong, but Ive been hit at least 10 times
in the past 2 seasons and I havent even been around them
all that much, so just be aware to that fact that if you have
bee allergies, think long and hard about where you can put
your bees and have someone else do the dirtywork for you.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Good Stuff from Underground Wellness



He says again and again that it doesnt make
sense that these sick doctors and nutritionists
keep telling us to eat foods that are actually bad for us.

Well..it makes sense when we finally realize that
its a two-part equation:

First, they get us sick with those types of foods.
Refined oils, sugars, and starches.
Toxic dairy with condensed GMO and EVERYTHING else.
No grass fed is ever mentioned officially that I know of.
No distinction, right? Am I wrong?
Will feedlots ever be made illegal?

Second, they attempt to sell us some kind of remedy.
It works perfectly well and makes loads of sense when
you look at it from a business perspective.

Sell the disease, then sell the cure.

Nature (God, The Universe, The Force, The Source)
knows (and has always known) what its doing.
Eat according to the laws set down, and you can do no wrong.

Simple Mango Spinach Smoothie



This is a very simple and accessible smoothie
that makes consistency more possible.

People might nag on me about using bagged spinach,
but lets be reasonable. We are all on a different path,
and some people only have organic access to bagged
salads and bagged-frozen berries/mangoes.

I will be making lots more food videos like I was
last spring, so stay tuned for some new twists and
ideas, and some VEGETARIAN recipes! GASP!

GMO VID-E-O



This is a little graphic at times,
but definitely a good watch.

Think about this -
Those who produce food for 95% of the population
have to report many things on their labels,
but not GMOS? WHY?
Don't we have the right to know in the USA? THE WORLD?

Why the secrecy?

Many people get it through corn syrup, soy and canola oil,
and probably so much more.

When you get really deep into cleansing
you start to feel as if everything is out to harm you.
Im definitely overdue for a cleanse but Ive been there.

Lets get the parents off of conventional meat and dairy at the very least.
Those animals are concentrating GMO feed into their tissues. Yikes.

If you cut GMO's out of your life,
your basically removing all processed foods,
which will totally cleanse you depending on
how much leafy greens you eat.

The whole gmo diet has got to become a sad memory of the past.

Glenn Beck and Catie Couric


Watch CBS Videos Online

I just watched this and thought Id put it on for everyone.

If you watched it, what did you think?

I think as a society, we have to think of it as more of a divide
between those who want true peace and freedom
AND ABUNDANCE FOR ALL
around this wonderful world we have been given,
and those that make billions on the business of war and wage slavery.

Why have we made ourselves so dependent on their food, water,
and electricity (and MONEY)? Would it not be worth it to produce our own instead?

I just found the grainy satellite pic of my place in MN!
I believe this was taken in march or late fall last year.
I planted alot more in there this summer, and Im
excited to see what it looks like now with the green "carpeting".

And if you measure the angle from the greenhouse to the dome,
it aligns perfectly with Orion's belt on the summer solstice.

........

KIDDING!

That would be pretty crazy if I actually did that.
Im sure someone 10,000 years into the future could find that it
matches up to some constellation and say that some
primitive? civilization was onto something.

Can you tell which spot the garden is at?
FOOD FOREST!!
