the double-crested cormorant is a large member of the cormorant family, with a wide distribution ranging from the aleutian islands to mexico. they are primarily black birds with a distinctive orange bare facial patch; during the breeding season, they develop their namesake ‘double’ crest which has black feathers intermingled with white. they primarily feed on fish, which they hunt by swimming and diving. like other cormorants, their feathers are not waterproof, something generally uncommon in birds who dive for their food; they must dry their feathers after hunts by holding their wings out and sunning. they are sometimes considered pests by aquaculturists, as they will predate on sources of food like koi ponds.

[pokemonshelterstories]

Are there any pokemon that are primarily hunted/killed for their furs?

I would figure tauros and miltank are used to make leather

oh, absolutely. plenty of pokemon are either farmed or hunted for the fur trade.

probably the most expensive fur out there is cinccino fur. minccino are regularly farmed for their fur, but cinccino fur is an entire step up in terms of quality. well-maintained cinccino fur lasts for decades, and it naturally keeps out dust and doesn't typically hold static. what makes them so expensive is partly that getting a cinccino in the first place requires a shiny stone and partly that the highest-quality cinccino fur requires better grooming and a better diet than i get! i have one piece of authentic cinccino fur that my dad gifted me- a scarf- and i don't even want to think about how much it must have cost. wigglytuff fur is also pretty expensive, but i think cinccino has it beat.

vulpix are also commonly bred, and a vulpix pelt with full tails will sell for a pretty penny. you'll find a lot of relatively cheap eevee pelts now that their numbers are back up, so that's what i typically recommend for someone buying fur for utility- flareon fur especially is great for winter!

in terms of pokemon that are hunted, zigzagoon/linoone are fairly common. the bristles from their fur are commonly used in shaving brushes, and they're often considered pest pokemon anyway. when absol were regularly hunted, having one of their pelts was said to keep them away, but that's not as common these days. bidoof and bibarel fur is a common waterproofing material, and is also fairly cheap for fur. pawmi are too tiny to get much fur out of, but wild pawmo are sometimes hunted for fur here in paldea.

for leather, you're right about miltank and tauros! paldean tauros leather is one of our luxury exports out here. wooloo and mareep are mostly kept for their wool, but mareep leather isn't too uncommon, and i know of lechonk farmers who breed for leather. the most expensive leather i've ever seen is from arbok, though- particular patterns can cost tons.

this is by no means a comprehensive list, but it's some of the most common species i've seen used for furs and skins! leather and fur products are great and i highly recommend them, but remember to make sure any pokemon-based products you purchase are humanely sourced!

[leafie-draws]

learned about hydrophobic plants todayyy

superhydrophobic plants have 2 types of leaves: waxy waxy and fuzzy fuzzy.

those with waxy leaves have a smooth, waterproof coating that repels dirt and pests and keeps them clean. while those with fuzzy leaves use tiny hairs to collect water and direct it towards their roots!

which also explains why cold-hardy vegetables like cabbages and broccoli can survive such harsh winters, they have waxy leaves so the snow just slides off :3

Lukercy and their babies:

Percy: ok you guys have hold hands now ok?

Lulu: ok papa*😇👼*

Luke holding Nemos hand who keeps jumping in puddles

Luke: "Never been happier you're waterproof, Perce. And that the kids take after you 😁."

Percy: "Don't I know this 😏."

Nemo: "Ohhhh, Tata look! What's that?"

The kid let go of his father’s hand and bent down to observe something in a puddle of water nearby. A strange long black string moved slowly in wide circles. Suddenly it stopped: it rose on his willowy body to observe the young boy with its smart yellow eyes.

Nemo: "Hi! My name's Nemo Jackson-Milligan. What's yours?"

...

Nemo: "Really? I didn't know they existed! And they left you here? Baaaaadddddd!"

...

Nemo: "Do you want to come home with me? I'm sure Tata can smite them for you! He can make monsters too, you know?"

...

Nemo: "Okay 😁".

The long black string - close up, it looked more like a water snake - began to crawl towards Nemo, rolling up on the offered arm until it settled placid on the child’s shoulders.

Nemo: "Tata, Papàs!!! I made a friend!!! Can he live with us?"

Percy: "The fu... dge!!! 😳"

Luke: "Sure!"

Percy: "LUKE!!!"

Nemo: "His mama left him here, because he didn't want to kill some dude named Thoro? And he has been alone ever since! His name is Jur... Jor... I'm going to name him Juju 😁."

Luke: "It's a water snake, Percy. They're harmless 🤷. And every kid needs a pet sooner or later."

Percy: "Mmm. Never heard of Lord Voldemort, right Luke? 😑"

Lee: "Juju looks a lot like the giant snake from Uncle Raphi's book 🤔."

Percy: "Which giant snake, Lulu?"

Lee: "The one who hugs the world! 😁"

Percy: "WHAT?!"

Luke: "Jormungandr?"

Lee: "Yes!"

Luke: "Uhhh 😶".

Nemo: "You're sooooo smart, Tata! You can say Juju's whole name!"

Percy: "Did our son just find a fucking monster snake?!"

Luke: "Uhhh 😶."

Juju: "Greetingsssssss Lord Darknesssss and lady wife 🐍".

Percy: "I. AM. A. MAN!"

Luke: "That's not what you said last night, babe 😁. Greetings, mighty Jormungandr. I hope you understand how our hospitality is not for free. Should something happen to one of my boys, I won't hesitate to destroy you 😠."

Juju: "I will keep thisssss in mind, Lord Darknesssss. I've heard frightening and amazzzzzing thingssss about you and your nesssssst of young beassssstssss 🐍".

Luke: "Oh! You hear that, Perce? We have a street creed now 😁."

Nemo&Lee: "Can we keep him, Papàs pleaseeeeeee? 🥺"

Juju: "Yesssss, pleassssseeee 🐍."

Percy: "Luke, we don’t even know what a giant snake eats!"

Luke: "He can eat all those pests your uncle Zeus sends us every week 😉."

Percy: "Three against one is unfair 😑. Okay he can stay, but I won't clean his mess! Do you understand me, boys? 😑".

Nemo&Lee: "Yeah!!! 🎉"

Juju: "I will earn your ressssspect, Lady Percy 🐍".

Percy: "I AM A MAN!!!"

A Complete Guide on What is a Mattress Protector?

Introduction

A comfortable mattress that provides restful sleep is one of the best investments you can make for your health and well-being. With the average mattress lifespan being 8 to 10 years, you’ll want to take good care of your mattress so it lasts. An important part of mattress care and maintenance is using a mattress protector. But what exactly is a mattress protector and why does your mattress need one? Let’s take a look.

A mattress protector is a removable layer of bedding that completely encases your mattress like a fitted sheet. It creates a barrier between you and the mattress to protect the sleep surface from a range of contaminants. Mattress protectors keep your mattress clean, hygienic, and damage-free for a healthier sleep environment.

There are many types of mattress protectors available to suit different needs. Key types include waterproof, cooling, hypoallergenic, and organic mattress protectors. Premium mattress protectors are designed using innovative fabrics and technologies for optimal protection, comfort, and convenience. Let’s explore the details of what a mattress protector is.

What is a Mattress Protector?

Mattress Protector Definition

A mattress protector is a removable cover that fully encases a mattress similar to a fitted sheet. It protects the mattress from spills, stains, dust mites, allergens, bed bugs, and damage. Mattress protectors create a barrier between you and the mattress to promote cleanliness, hygiene, and longevity.

How Mattress Protectors Work

Mattress protectors work by fully surrounding your mattress in a durable, protective barrier material. Many feature an inner waterproof membrane made of materials like vinyl or polyurethane to block moisture and spills. This waterproof backing may have a terry cotton or polyester top layer for comfort.

The snug fitted sheet style ensures the protector stays securely in place on the mattress. It protects all six sides — top, bottom and sides. Some protectors have zippered encasement to fully seal the mattress.

Advanced mattress protectors use innovative fabrics like breathable Tencel® to wick moisture and regulate temperature. Some are treated with SILPURE antimicrobial technology to inhibit bacteria and odor.

Mattress Protector vs. Mattress Cover

A mattress cover loosely covers the top of a mattress to protect it from dust and debris. A mattress protector fully encases the mattress and has protective barriers against spills, allergens, bed bugs, etc.

Mattress protectors are designed to be removable for washing, while mattress covers aren’t intended for removal. So mattress protectors play a bigger role in mattress hygiene and care.

Benefits of Using a Mattress Protector

Protects mattress from spills, stains, fluids, incontinence

Creates allergen barrier against dust mites, pollen, pet dander

Prevents bed bug and pest infestations

Keeps mattress free of dead skin cells, body oils, sweat

Allows easy mattress cleaning and maintenance

Extends mattress lifespan by preventing premature damage

Promotes better sleep hygiene and health

So in summary, a mattress protector is a removable, encasing layer designed to protect your mattress. It promotes cleanliness, hygiene and longevity for a more comfortable, refreshing sleep environment. Investing in a high-quality mattress protector helps safeguard your mattress against damage and allergens.

At Mattress To Door, we offer a range of mattress protectors to keep your mattress clean and damage-free. Check out our selection of premium mattress protectors including waterproof and breathable protectors to find the right match for your mattress.

Why You Need a Mattress Protector

Now that you know what a mattress protector is, let’s look at why it’s so important to use one. There are many compelling reasons to invest in a high-quality mattress protector for your bed.

Protect Against Spills and Stains

Life happens — spills and accidents are inevitable. Food, drinks, oils, lotions, makeup, urine, perspiration, etc. can quickly stain or damage a mattress if spilled directly on it. A waterproof mattress protector creates a barrier that keeps liquids from seeping into the mattress itself.

Mattress protectors safeguard your investment against pesky stains that are difficult to remove. It’s much easier to wash removable mattress protectors as needed instead of trying to clean the entire mattress.

Allergen Protection

Dust mites, mold spores, pollen and pet dander are common allergens that can collect in your mattress. Protectors that are hypoallergenic and antimicrobial block allergens and prevent bacteria buildup. This helps reduce allergy symptoms for a better night’s sleep.

Mattress protectors also trap dead skin cells, body oils and sweat that would otherwise sink into the mattress. This improves mattress hygiene.

Extend Mattress Longevity

Mattress protectors prevent premature mattress breakdown and damage in several ways:

Protects against stains from spills, incontinence, etc.

Reduces indentation from body pressure points

Avoids dust mite and pest damage

Reduces exposure to sweat, oils and grime

By keeping your mattress clean and well-maintained, a protector can extend the mattress lifespan by years. This improves your return on investment.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

Mattress protectors allow you to easily clean and care for your mattress:

Wipe spills right off the surface

Remove and machine wash the protector

Use sanitizing sprays or steam clean without worry

Vacuum the mattress through the protector

Regular washing also removes dead skin cells, bacteria and microbes that accumulate. This improves mattress hygiene and air quality.

Warranty Support

Most mattress warranties require using a suitable mattress protector to validate claims. Protectors shield against stains, damage and indentations that could void the warranty.

Be sure to check your mattress warranty documentation for any mattress protector requirements. Using one provides an extra layer of warranty protection.

Improved Sleep Health

Mattress protectors promote a clean, hygienic sleep environment free of allergens, skin cells, pests, and microbes. This allows you to breathe easier and sleep better on a kept mattress. A high-quality mattress protector supports healthy, restorative sleep.

Types of Mattress Protectors

There are different types of mattress protectors designed for various needs. Let’s look at the most common varieties and their key benefits:

Pelecoptera {Peleconis Pterropis} Less formally known as 'Pecos' (plural Peci), these beasts are more commonly found in rocky coastal regions of the south-east. After splitting off from other migratory Pterrors centuries ago, these pesky piscivores decided to stray from the never ending marathon to where the weather was warm and the food was plentyful. Unfortunately for everybody else living in the Citadel Dockside, they have made themselves a nuisance ever since they arrived all those years ago. Though they technically fall under the Fair Game laws, the 'Better-For-Beasts' activist group shunned any 'who's righteousness justified them hunting down an otherwise harmless creature'. This made it almost impossible for any dock-dweller to rid themselves of this pest without protesters tagging their boats for ridicule and harassing their families until the cows came home. So, these beasts (while not legally under protection) have enough wriggle room to annoy sailors and traders alike without consequence.

Pecoc are piscivores, but due to a decrease in fish and other sea dwelling creatures they have become opportunistic predators. Their main hunting method is to cling to rocky cliff faces with their heads tilted back and the ends of their antenna like tendrils dipped in the water as a wat of electrolocation. They then swoop down and grab the fish in their net like jaws, and the rest is history. Their size would make it easy for them to carry off a smaller human or monster child, though very little cases have been reported. The furthest a Pecos has ever gotten while trying to snatch a being was a few inspection bites and dragging the man a few metres before being shooed away. Don't let this intimidate you though, Pecos are generally skittish and quite docile. They are smart enough not to risk damaging their already rocky relationship with the people of the docks. Those who have enough patience (and willpower) can tame these curious creatures, some even using them as mounts. It's not uncommon for Pecos to develop an emotional attatchment to a species that is not their own, they are very intelligent creatures that have a lot of personality once you get to know one.

The males of the species have brightly coloured noses and necks, whereas the females lack this extravagance in favour of longer tendrils. Every breeding season they come together at one location to chose a new partner, though it is not uncommon for a pair to breed again if their last clutch was extremely successful. The males court by showing off their vibrant colours, spreading their wings and puffing out their chests. The female will inspect his feathers diligently, if she doesn't like the colour or if he lacks enough downy feathers she will reject him by simply flying away. If she accepts him however, she will preen him, and he will preen her back. For reuniting, pairs the process is less formal, one will simply preen the other and if the other accepts they will preen in return. The male creates a nest by plucking the white downy feathers from his chest, creating a bald spot. Not only does this create an extra warm spot for the chick to nestle against, but it signals to other Pecos that he is taken and flirting would be a waste of energy. The female lays the eggs and takes turns with the male to incubate so the other can feed and rest in peace until the chicks hatch.

Once the chicks hatch the father of the brood stays with them at all times while the mother flies back and forth delivering food. During this period the male relies on her solely for food, though if she fails to return for whatever reason he will take on her role as well as his own, though it is not usually successful.

Their downy fluff hidden beneath slick, almost skin like layer of waterproof feathers also make for great stuffings. Ethically sourced downy stuffing is expensive but worth the price. Unethically sourced downy stuffing is unfortunately much more popular and easier to find.

Pecos are a nuisance, yes, but they are intelligent, intricate species with a lot of payoff if you have the patience to get to know one.

Vidirons Introduction:

What are Vidirons?

➤ Vidirons come from a faraway advanced planet called AP-3091, in this planet life is good, the world flourishes with many creatures such as but not limited to the mystical wobbleworms,a vidirons favorite pet, electroberries, a favorite snack of vidirons and features calm and cool weather during the long summer days.

➤Vidirons themselves were placed there long ago by astronauts who were weary of the newfound planet and wanted to gather new information on it, that's why they have creatures in their chests, these creatures are their primary source of energy (with the exception of the plant ones who gather it from the sunlight) once thought to be emotionless and purely fueled by their tasks given this was soon seen as false when the whole space project was slowly abandoned. from this and no tasks they formed emotion, personality and even unique likes and dislikes.

➤Vidirons eventually discovered how to build themselves alongside their journey and they began to form into a flourishing society with buildings,towns,and families. its presumed they got this knowledge due to how they were coded. how they get the species inside their chests now, is unheard of. some presume the newer generations are holographic,some presume their replicated from spliced dna samples. alas we will never know.

╚══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╝

Subtypes:

ೃ⁀➷ Plantera also known as project 001 These Vidirons survive solely by their sun's rays, Hey don’t need to eat, hunt, or even really do anything to be alive, though they do get thirsty and don’t mind sitting in water, They were made to all come with seeds inside their paw to dispense and regrow them throughout the planet although that's not needed anymore These ones are known to know anything about anyone “they hear it through the grapevine” they say which is funny because they have the best hearing compared to all of the subtypes. They have been known to grow plants as people used to use them as decorations in replacement to bushes Social and friendly as they come but the wilted ones aren't so friendly,most are known to be nitpicky.

ೃ⁀➷ Mammals, aka petbot 001 These Vidirons survive by intresting holographic food through their sensors, all “food” any have been known to eat is actually faked, it has the taste and smell but isn't real They were made to be sweet companions or entertainers for people, often having skills of no other and some even being made on all fours like a real animal(that is before they took over, after humans were long gone)

ೃ⁀➷ Insecta , aka pollinator 002 A idea becoming successful, these bots were made to be able to pollinate and spread plants, like a Planteras helper, that's basically why they were made. Their personalities vary from the sweetest to the most evil and destructive. Or little pests that constantly bug you

ೃ⁀➷Reptilian No one exactly asked for them, Aquatic Vidirons and mammalian Vidirons actually built them themselves, they have no exact purpose, and most are actually clowns and entertain others. Those flashy colors must come in handy They'll snatch your food if you let them

ೃ⁀➷ Plushie Vidirons, made to be the caregivers for other Vidirons young and designed + created after the downfall of humans They are incredibly soft, loveable and all around great Vidirons to be around They even have a heart made of quite literally gold. They teach younger Vidirons, babysit, care for the others around them, its no wonder they have a worldwide holiday dedicated to them and their hard work Plus the kids dig them

ೃ⁀➷ Aquatic These guys were made to go to the parts of the water that humans couldn't reach, equipped with heavy duty shelling, a waterproof body, and some of the most flexible limbs they could get through almost any obstacle and most even live purely in the water

ೃ⁀➷ Edible Vidirons are a species of Vidirons created by an aspiring chef, who accidently spilled the ingredients on themselves, becoming the first of a new subspecies.

ೃ⁀➷Elemental Vidirons were created when a young Vidiron wandered into a storm, was struck by lightning, and thus created the new subspecies.

ೃ⁀➷ The Corrupted Subspecies…long lost prototypes gone rogue around the world, their extremely rare but encountering one might serve you to become unbuilt, their incredibly hostile and like none of the Vidirons except their own. Youd better run

Essential Features to Include in a Custom Storage Building

When it comes to building a custom storage unit, functionality, durability, and design should be top priorities. Whether you need extra space for tools, seasonal decorations, or even a small workshop, the right features can make all the difference. If you're in Oregon and looking for a professional service to bring your vision to life, BKS Remodeling Construction is the go-to company for high-quality custom storage buildings.

Let's explore the must-have features that can turn your storage building into a practical and long-lasting investment.

1. Proper Foundation

A solid foundation is key to ensuring your storage building remains stable and weather-resistant. Depending on your needs, you can choose from concrete slabs, gravel bases, or treated wooden foundations. A concrete foundation is the best choice for a durable and permanent structure, preventing moisture issues and ensuring stability.

2. Quality Roofing and Weather Protection

Oregon’s unpredictable weather means your storage building should be equipped with durable roofing materials like metal, asphalt shingles, or polycarbonate panels. Waterproofing is a must—insulation, ventilation, and proper sealing will protect your belongings from extreme heat, cold, and moisture buildup.

3. Strong, Weather-Resistant Walls

Your storage building should be constructed using high-quality materials like pressure-treated wood, steel, or vinyl. These materials provide protection against moisture, pests, and wear and tear. If you plan to use the space for more than just storage—such as a workshop—you might also want insulated walls to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round.

4. Customizable Door Options

The type of doors you choose can greatly impact the accessibility and functionality of your storage building. Some options include:

Roll-up doors – Great for garages and larger storage units

Double barn-style doors – Provide a rustic look with wide openings for large equipment

Sliding doors – Ideal for tight spaces

Standard entry doors – Perfect for smaller storage sheds

Choosing the right door type will ensure easy access while keeping your stored items secure.

5. Windows and Ventilation

Proper ventilation is a crucial but often overlooked feature. If you’re storing chemicals, paints, or machinery, airflow will prevent moisture buildup and mold growth. Consider:

Vented soffits or ridge vents for natural air circulation

Windows with screens for fresh air while keeping pests out

Ceiling fans or exhaust vents if you plan to spend time inside

6. Electrical and Lighting Options

If you plan on using your storage building for more than just storing items, adding electricity is a smart move. Proper indoor and outdoor lighting, power outlets, and security lights can improve usability and safety. Motion-sensor lights are a great option for nighttime visibility.

7. Custom Shelving and Storage Solutions

The more organized your space, the better! Built-in shelves, pegboards, tool racks, and lofted storage help maximize space, making it easier to keep everything neat and accessible. If you're storing heavy equipment, consider reinforced shelves or workbenches.

8. Security Features

Protecting your valuables is essential, especially if you're storing expensive tools, equipment, or personal items. Sturdy locks, reinforced doors, security cameras, and motion sensors are excellent investments. You can also install smart locks for added convenience and control.

9. Multi-Use Functionality

Custom storage buildings aren’t just for storage anymore! Many homeowners use them as home offices, hobby spaces, workshops, or even guest suites. If this is your plan, consider insulation, drywall, and HVAC systems to make the space livable and comfortable year-round.

Why Choose BKS Remodeling Construction for Your Custom Storage Building?

If you’re in Oregon and need a high-quality, customized storage building, BKS Remodeling Construction is the best company to bring your vision to life. They specialize in durable, custom-built storage solutions designed to fit your exact needs—whether for simple storage, a workshop, or a multi-functional space.

Preserving History: How to Prevent Damage to Restored Documents

History lives in documents. Whether it’s an old family letter, a historical manuscript, or an official city record, these pieces of paper hold invaluable information. Restoring old documents is just the first step in keeping history alive—protecting them from future damage is just as crucial and Document restoration services. In this guide, we’ll explore the best practices to ensure your restored documents remain intact for generations to come.

Understanding the Risks

Even after restoration, documents are still vulnerable to environmental damage, handling issues, and aging. The main threats include:

Humidity and Moisture: High humidity can cause mold growth, while low humidity can make paper brittle.

Light Exposure: UV rays can fade ink and weaken paper fibers over time.

Pests: Insects and rodents may find old documents appealing.

Poor Handling: Oils and dirt from hands can degrade delicate materials.

By addressing these risks, you can greatly extend the lifespan of your valuable documents.

Proper Storage Methods

Storing restored documents correctly is the first line of defense against deterioration.

Use Archival-Quality Materials

Invest in acid-free folders, boxes, and sleeves to prevent chemical reactions that lead to paper degradation. Avoid standard plastic covers as they may trap moisture.

Control the Climate

Maintain a consistent temperature between 60-70°F (15-21°C) with relative humidity between 30-50%. If possible, use a dehumidifier or climate-controlled storage to achieve this.

Limit Light Exposure

Store documents in a dark environment and use UV-filtering glass if displaying them. Indirect lighting and minimal exposure can slow down fading and weakening.

Handling and Maintenance

Even with proper storage, handling is a major factor in document preservation.

Wash Hands or Use Gloves

Natural oils from fingers can damage paper. Wash hands before handling documents, or better yet, wear clean, lint-free gloves.

Use Clean, Flat Surfaces

When viewing or working with documents, lay them flat on a clean, dry surface. Avoid placing them near food, beverages, or clutter.

Limit Folding and Rolling

Repeated folding can weaken paper fibers, leading to cracks and tears. Use flat storage whenever possible, and if rolling is necessary, use a tube with a wide diameter to prevent creasing.

Digitization: A Long-Term Preservation Strategy

One of the best ways to ensure the longevity of restored documents is to create digital copies. Scanning or photographing documents provides a backup in case of physical deterioration.

Use High-Resolution Scanning: This ensures details are preserved for future reference.

Store Backups Securely: Keep copies on external drives, cloud storage, or archival digital repositories.

Consider OCR Technology: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can make text searchable, adding convenience for researchers and archivists.

Pest Prevention

Rodents and insects can be a document’s worst enemy. To prevent infestations:

Store documents in sealed containers.

Regularly clean storage areas to remove dust and debris.

Avoid storing documents in basements, attics, or areas prone to pests.

Emergency Preparedness

Despite the best efforts, disasters can happen. Have an emergency plan in place to protect restored documents from floods, fires, or other unexpected events.

Waterproof Storage: Use sealed archival boxes to prevent water damage.

Fireproof Safes: Store irreplaceable documents in fire-resistant safes.

Disaster Recovery Plan: Identify professional conservation services that can help in case of damage.

Conclusion

Restoring documents breathes new life into history, but without proper care, they can easily be damaged again. By following these best practices—proper storage, careful handling, digitization, pest prevention, and emergency planning—you can ensure that restored documents remain safe for future generations.

Taking the time to protect your documents today means preserving history for tomorrow. Whether for personal archives, city records, or historical collections, these steps will help keep the past alive and well-protected.

Yeah like, the thing to remember is that beekeeping is a mutual trade!.

Bees make SO MUCH HONEY. they don’t have a “stop making honey” button, because in the wild where food is scarce, predators/pests could raid the hive at any moment, and an especially cold winter could kill most of the hive, making as much honey as they physically can is the only strategy that makes sense. With a beekeeper, basically none of those things are a problem.

The beekeeper literally moves the hive to the middle of huge fields of flowers, and will sometimes move the hive *again* when those flowers start going out of season, ensuring a continuous, reliable supply of nectar and pollen for the hive.

The beekeeper protects the hive from predators and fights off the pests with targeted medications and treatments that largely don’t harm the bees

The beekeeper also protects the hive from especially extreme weather, adding insulating wraps, waterproofing, or even small heaters to keep the temperature as good as possible for hibernation.

As a result, bees kept by humans make SIGNIFICANTLY more honey than they do in the wild, simply because beekeepers keep their conditions *really good*. Living in the wild is hard, offloading 90% of the hard stuff to a human means a colony can just settle in and focus on the stuff that matters, ie. making babies, pollinating flowers, and making honey.

In return, the human takes that extra honey, leaving enough for the bees to eat. and notably! That #2 point above, that bees will start using the baby areas for honey? Bees only do that as an absolute last resort.

The reason beehives have those removable frames is because, given the option, bees *vastly* prefer to keep their nurseries and their honey storage separate. Which makes sense, if you think about it: predators are going to target the honey, so they want to keep their young as far away from that as possible, to keep them safe. With frames, beekeepers can take out just one of the ones being used for honey without harming any bees, and replace it with a fresh empty frame that gives the bees more space to fill up.

Also, as has been brought up before, unlike most of our domesticated animals, if they don’t like the way they’re being kept? bees have wings, they can literally just leave. The fact that very few of them *don’t* means that they’re satisfied, a tiny bit of excess honey is a small price to pay for a good place to live and a humungous bodyguard to serve their every need.

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
