Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Just been through all my bees - they were very calm today, even the hive that is usually a bit frisky. Lots of spring honey coming in. I had a hive last year that did nothing so I just let them be and gave them a second chance this year. They seen to have suddenly figured things out and they are building up nicely. I had to add a super on them today - last year they didn't even get that far. Strange things bees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern diesel is better in terms of power consumption from primary fuel given the efficiencies of EV chargers and losses in energy production. EV however has lower net carbon emissions per unit distance but not by much. It's only something like 36kg carbon per year in it. A modern diesel car with brake energy recovery and exhaust energy recovery would dick all over EV in both cases. Happy motoring y'all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already £0 road tax and getting 52 mpg around town so we are happy with that They all market these EV's with huge mpg figures which most probably won't achieve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was it different to a standard essay. eventually an already qualified chum leant me theirs and I could get started but had a lot to do.

dynax Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Nothing happened again today, so the weekend has to have something to offer. Cleethorpes or Bust I have been trying out various combinations for taking my fishing gear on the bike, basically trying to travel as light as possible I think I might have got it now but still a lot to take. main problem is a change of clothing, don't really want to be fishing in my biking gear, and I definitely don't want to compromise on riding without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
