Spring bloom was 3 weeks early this year. These cold snaps aren't good for them but fingers crossed we get through the next week or so we should be good.

My wife wants to start keeping (?) bees but she was looking at those ones that don't have stingers and don't make any honey. I'm not sure I see the point since we haven't had a garden in probably 3 years...

there is no stinger, there is no point. That's the point.

So I was scanning the tank last night with a flashlight, looking for my lawnmower blenny I haven't seen. Didn't find the fish but I did find a flippin' leopard polyclad flatworm encased on something. This morning I found my pistol shrimp outer shell. It dissolved all the fleshy bits from the body, just some claw meat was left. Jerk. That was one of my founding members from my first tank.

I couldn't get a picture last night of the crime in progress due to location and lighting.

 

[Goaway]

Did you get the polyclad out?

 

[Jim Gomoll]

I printed a similar one but for air plants:

Looks like a good candidate for encrusting coral.

Made a small planter. I printed this at 50% it's original size. Still took 6+ hrs. Some post processing and it's looking pretty nice. currently printing the tray.

Carpenter bees? I think Mason bees are another kind. Definitely not as fun.

Nope, gonna have to stalk the tank at night and hope I see it on an easy to grab rock.

Right, but what point if there is none?

Mason. That's the ones!

 

[Stang67]

Mason. That's the ones!

They have a secret club. And unlike regular honey bees which are female, Masonic bees are only males. I hear they have weird handshakes (instead of dancing) to communicate, and they wear tiny little aprons.

So definitely get or definitely skip? Weird handshakes and secret clubs can be cool, but they can also be weird and creepy... Especially if tiny aprons are involved.

is it secret club boarding cult? or just a regular secret club - that might be the deciding factor...

As long as they are Free Masons I don't see why not.
