Re: I bee back

Our area is not very diverse in flower variety, at lest in terms of honey. Most of what we get is a varied Wildflower containing many different floral types but heaviest flavored by clover, usually Dutch Clover.

Re: It is necessary to add root password in Linux Mint?

sudo is intended to allow an admin to assign sub admins limited and specific abilities to do their respective jobs on a system.

Thank God For Linux Mint & Cinnamon

I have been running LMDE pretty happily for a few months now and yesterday I finally did the full updates which included Gnome 3 which i have been avoiding like the plague.

Re: my chronicle of LMDE on the family computer.

no, actually, that's a ""work" pic. It's a swarm that I was called out to collect last summer.

I run my own business as a bee conservationist, Integrated Pest Management services and beekeeping supplies and equipment sales.
