@emidln U probably forgot that U had submitted the same article on HN ~6months ago... https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nordicfoodlab.org Thanks for sharing though, i had missed it the last time around. :) :)

I wouldn't say that I forgot, more that I was reminded by an email: Hi there, [snip] looks good, but didn't get much attention. Would you care to repost it? You can do so here: [snip].

Wait, so upvotes from readers are secondary to mod upvotes in some cases? Not that I immediately disagree, but it's an interesting feature.

I guess it's easier to verify. Otherwise, you'd get an instant bump on all reposts with all the votes the original accumulated.

Are there multiple mods or is just the one?

I've received maybe 10 of them, but always from dang.

How did they not make the obvious "beebliography" pun at the end? I would not have been able to resist that.

Hilarious coincident that the photographer's name is Josh Pollen!

Or is this the coming of the bee revolution?! Wake up sheeple!!! (Just kidding of course).

Seriously though, I've never heard of the last name "Pollen", is there any chance that it's pseudonym?

Our beekeeper just told us our hives made 800 lbs of honey so far this year.

You lucky lucky dog. What kind of flowers do they have access to primarily?

A very restrained response, and very effective. I just wanted to add that I really enjoyed this article, and this is the first I've seen it.

Whereabouts is that? How many hives?

About 10. 2 are superperformers, 3 strong, the others mediocre. The hives are at the only place in the valley which is flat enough to mow but has not been mowed so there is very rich vegetation. This is in Upstate New York near Ithaca.

For my seasonal pollen allergies here's what I do. a) Take a spoonful of dried bee bread b) Take 2 spoonful of local honey c) Add 100ml warm water d) Stir it until the bee-bread dissolves e) Drink it. (Starts acting in 10 minutes)

Anyone know why it works?
