    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

When these guys come out they aint joking!

I have literally been counting the days till these little guys and gals hatched. I checked them yesterday day 55, and no-one was piped, today I check and this is what I find! These two wanted out on day 56.

The bottom two pictures are mom on the clutch when she finally gave them up and then a picture of the eggs as they went into the incubator.

For now I know there are two Lesser Bees, and the other three look like a third lesser bee on the far right, a normal in the back and a lesser on the left, the front egg I have not seen yet it is piped but I have not seen it yet. Now I am just guessing by head pattern so if you think other please let me know! I will update pictures as more come out.

Lesser Bees, I am stoked!! On my way to Queen Bees!

Thanks Randy, this is truly my best clutch in three years. TYL!
 
Wow! Congrats on that awsome clutch!
I also want to thank u again for the bino baby. Its a girl! Her name is Hope. She is just feeding for the first time tonight as I type this reply.
To anyone reading this. I would like to mention what a stand up guy Richard is! Three years ago I had to sell my collection and Richard had bought some het binos from me. At the time of the deal he had mentioned that if they proved out he would give me one. Well to fast forward i am starting my collection again. I totally forgot about that part of the deal. Richard didnt. He got in touch with me and low and behold , he gave me a baby albino. What a guy.
Thanks again
