Huh? Solar noon is exactly the same for everyone on the same longitude. People at the equator have noon at the same time as someone in the north. The only difference is the zenith of the sun and how long the forenoon and afternoon are.

Unfortunately the timezones are pretty wide so only in the center of the zone would be the closest to the solar mean.

I think people fail to realize that Northern latitudes always have bigger changes in day/night time than southern latitudes. Changing the time zones doesn't change the fact that Northern latitudes will always have more daylight in summer and more darkness in winter than the Southern more equatorial latitudes.

    I checked a local store that said they closed their doors to the public and online orders only. Ok, I thought. I'll just order what I want and swing by. No. The order link sent me to Amazon and they only do it through them. Not even will-call it turns out. I gave up and figured I can live without it anyway.

    A healthy hive would get proper nutrients. Usually you only need to feed a hive pollen when it is a weaker hive that doesn't have the population needed to collect pollen. This boosts brood production and the hive can recover faster.

    Another issue is commercial beekeeping. Hundreds of hives could be working a few square miles while in nature it would be just a few. Not enough resources for that many hives so weaker hives struggle. This is a human solution for a human problem.

    That's right lady's! Don't let your man leave the house with brown boots and a black belt. Use the belt and restrain him until he gets his color's right!
