say for instance a bee got some pollen on a monday, and then landed on another flower on the Friday, would it be possible for the pollen to still be in the bees system. sorry if this is a silly question, just ive had fruits form in other years when there was nothing else around to pollinate, of course also its possible that there was other cactus around that I didn't know about.

i didn't think it was a spach either, no idea what it is though.

ive just moved house, and as I was clearing the fridge I found a bag of yellow powder, scop pollen from 2015, its anyones guess if it was viable or not but it looked intact, no silica gel, like a world of other things it went in the bin.

ps. I wont be doing seeds this year after my last debacle, too much commitment, if theres anything it will be OP and IM PLANTING THEM ALL mwhahaha.

so I suppose to simplify my question I would say... do bees clean themselves of pollen upon returning to the hive?

im not suggesting a year, maybe a week at most, pollen aint so supremely fragile, wrap it in foil and leave it in the fridge it will last a good 2 weeks. some people might disagree but ive had pollen stored (and used) after 2 weeks plus, with no silica gel, after 2 weeks the mould starts to form. I know others who have done the same. be very interesting to see what you see under the microscope. im hoping someone who knows more about bees than I do can answer this question, I thought it a silly question but the more I look at it the more I think its very valid. so any apiarists out there tell us what you know about bees and pollen.

only thing id add to that is about mixers, avoid coke and sugar like the plague, I try and only mix with water these days. in the past I would account for more of my hangover being due to cigarette binges and masses of sugary mixers rather than alcohol itself. also generally and I stress generally, anything clear is better than anything dark. but I think that's what your getting at with point 1. that being said im on a healthy diet of port lately, tryin to save the coin.

I LOVE MELBOURNE, I LOVE VICTORIA, I LOVE LIVING IN THE CITY, I LOVE LIVING IN THE COUNTRY

im looking for something for the palm of my hand when im in Nazca (5cm x 5cm), polar opposite to siam reap, where I got one on the back of my hand.

well "steamrail 'lucky amber' amber ale"...you've just been eclipsed by Melbourne bitter.

and fruit, I want enough fruit so I can eat it. but my farm will be 99% trichs and that's how I like it, so no cereus or prickly pear.

will do mapacho, for sure. goal is just bulk I guess. and theyre all nice clones in the mass area. I had to make a decision this year of whether to plant or sell, obviously I went with plant. long term plan is to have a garden open to public for a fee and have a nursery and spend my older years wandering the cacti fields.

my names sake

got 15 sausage and six scop in the ground yesterday, 2 rows to go for the year (21 per row), plus at least 2 more rows (10 each) in the "one off" patch

and hey dooood! that sina grafts coming along nicely

5 years till opening im sure those psycho0 will do something cool, whether they stand up or not (which im certain they will)

whats this? im happy to change it to peruvianus, I just like to keep IDs that plants come with

gotta remember, I put beers in the freezer
