How do you introduce a new queen to an existing colony? How do you make sure both the queen and worker bees become successful on their respective roles? "Requeening" is a common beekeeper task but you want to be able to do it right. This new blog post will tell you everything you need to know to make that happen. 👍 https://bit.ly/3sond5W #beekeeping #requeening #foxhoundbeeco

Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

We appreciate the shout out, Latarsha B.! And we are so happy to support and celebrate this very American holiday; at the same time recognizing that our democracy is still very much a work in progress. But, if we use the past to learn and self-reflect in the present, we can be better human beings in the present and future. #Juneteenth Princeton Hydro

🎅🎁 Did you find any surprises this morning? 🎁🎅   Today is St. Nicholas Day, a tradition that celebrates the generosity and kindness of the 4th-century bishop of Myra, who is also known as the patron saint of children and sailors.   On the eve of St. Nicholas Day, children in many countries leave their shoes by the fireplace, the door, or the window, hoping that St. Nicholas will fill them with gifts, sweets, and coins.   This year, the Aqua team were delighted to find some chocolate coins.   Do you celebrate St. Nicholas Day? What did you find in your shoe?!   #stnicholasday #shoesurprises #gifts #christmas #tradition. #clearviewchristmascountdown #christmas #christmas2023 #christmascheer #Clearviewrelocation #Clearviewimmigration #clearviewconsultancy #relocationservices #relocationspecialist #relocationexperts #clearviewway #clearviewconsultancy #relocations #relocationtips #relocationassistance #relocation #Immigration #visaimmigration
