Schlatt rang Tubbo’s doorbell, crossing his bare arms across his chest. He hadn’t bothered to put a coat on, because Tubbo’s house wasn’t far anyway. But he had forgotten about what he had did to himself. That day.

The ram honestly looked like shit, pale and noticeably skinnier than before Ted had passed (not that Tubbo knew, not that anyone knew, Schlatt couldn’t bring himself to anyone, and being skinny was.. not in the older ram’s nature since he was revived. He liked to stay comfortable, at most.)

But as Schlatt waited in the cold, anxiety grew in his chest wondering what his son would think of him now.

( @jschllat )

patiently, he walks to the door knob and twists the still freezing metal to peek through the door. once he sees that it’s schlatt, then does he push the whole door open. swinging it.

tubbo’s eyes widen at the husk of a man. he looks beaten down and exhausted, barely anything left of him to be seen. he immediately shudders, but stays calm in order to not alarm him.

oh.. schlatt.. you look sick, big man? what are you doing out in the cold? come inside..

he motions silently with a calm voice as he moves past and allows an open entrance. his house was a warm gust of air and a home honey smell that was child like, fresh and vintage. his house was almost completely brown and green, layers of soft coats everywhere and blankets. a few children toys scattered about with something boiling on the stove.

tubbo didn’t judge the man, he knew how hard everything will be on someone. but it nags at him, how much he worries.

The college I work for has recently got some hives and they kindly paid for me and my colleagues to do an amazing beekeeping course.

This week I did a solo hive inspection for the very first time, as I was the only trained person on site.

It has been a magnificent, if nerve-wracking experience and I can't wait to do it again next week. I am forever petrified of squishing the queen but I will hopefully get more confident with time.

We have one large hive and one smaller one. The large hive is going strong and each week we have to rearrange everything so they don't run out of space. To do this you move empty frames towards the centre of the brood box so the Queen has access to at least 2 empty frames. For some reason she only likes laying eggs on frames near the centre. You also have to check that there's enough space in the supers as this is where worker bee store most of the honey. If the colony doesn't have enough space then the bees start to get agitated and it can prompt a swarm.

The smaller hive unfortunately lost its Queen when it was being delivered to us. So we are currently trying to raise a new one. To do this we moved over a tester frame containing newly laid eggs and some grubs from our other hive. The worker bees then chose the new Queens and built special large cells for them. we knocked down all but one of these to stop a potential swarm. We then left this hive for 3-weeks to give her a chance to emerge and go on her nuptial flight. On this flight she will hopefully have mated with a number of genetically diverse drones. She has around a 30% chance of surviving this and coming back to the hive. We haven't seen her yet but fingers crossed she's there. The workers had started to make play cups indicating that they are dissatisfied with the lack of new eggs being laid. But it does take a while for her to start laying. As we don't know if she survived I put in two new tester frames with eggs and grubs from the other hive. When I do an inspection next week I will need to check for freshly laid eggs and queen cells. If I see new eggs then I know that the Queen survived, but if not and if Queen cells have been produced then we'll have to start the process of raising a Queen again.

The pictures above are from the smaller hive showing some play cups on a couple of the frames. This shows the workers are irritated at the lack of new eggs being laid. One picture also shows the entrance to the hive and one of the worker bees has pollen on their legs. This is apparently an indication that a new queen is present and is about to start laying.

General Bee info:

The Queen has a store of sperm and can control which eggs are fertilised with a little flap. Unfertilized eggs turn into drones (haploid, reproductive males). Fertile eggs turn into either worker bees (usually non reproductive, female bees) or new Queens. She lays individual eggs into each of the cells.

In a healthy hive, drones are only present in the summertime when the hive has reached sexual maturity. In an unhealthy hive the Queen can start laying drone eggs when she runs out of stored sperm. Queenless workers may also start to lay drone eggs.

When the eggs hatch, worker bees feed and nurture the grubbs with honey and variety of different pollen. It is the worker bees that choose what fertile eggs become Queens. The ones they select as potential new Queens are fed a diet of mostly royal jelly and they build larger cells for them. Workers can also choose when new queen's emerge by standing on top of the flap door to their cell. This prevents them from emerging until the workers deem the time is right.

As time progresses grubs get larger and eventually pupate within their cells. The cells are then capped with wax and the pupae starts to metamorphose internally. When the pupa are fully developed they moult and then chew their way through the wax cap. Young bees can be quite light-colored when they first emerge.

Unfortunately I don't have very many pictures of our lovely hives. It is quite hard to take photos with massive gloves on, and the longer you spend faffing around, the more stressed out the bees get. I only got these pictures because I needed to update my colleagues on certain developments. If the opportunity arises again then I will share any photos here as I think bees are really interesting.

an introductory description of the greek club except it’s narrated like the meet the plastics scene in mean girls

#that one there? that’s bunny corcoran. he is one of the dumbest men you will ever meet. #i sat next to him in english last year. he asked me how to spell orange. #that little one? that’s francis abernathy. he’s totally rich because his dad invented toaster streusel. #francis abernathy knows everyone’s business he knows everything about everyone. that’s why his hair is so big it’s full of secrets. #and evil takes a human form in henry winter. don’t be fooled—cause he may seem like your typical selfish backstabbing slut-faced hoebag. #but in reality? he is so much more than that. he’s the queen bee—the star. the other four are just his little workers. #sorry to the twins. didn’t have room for them in the trio 💀 #the secret history #tsh #bunny corcoran #henry winter #francis abernathy #charles macaulay #camilla macaulay #richard papen

Schlatt had tried to make it to Tubbo’s door, tried as hard as he can, but he just couldn’t. He collapsed at the stairs of the house, the hot tears tripping down his face overwhelming to the pounding of his head and the coldness of the snow. He couldn’t move, just having been revived and killed countless times in the matter of minutes, not even able to say his son’s name, only weak sobs. Blood sputtered out of his mouth, staining the wet snow, as his chest heaved. He was so close, but so far away.

(@jschllat)

the loud noise banging from outside alerted tubbo, he quickly sat michael down from them watching some sort of impishly silly cartoon, but the sight shocked tubbo when he opened the door.

he gasped, letting out a quiet noise of distress. as he fell to his knees he quickly put some of schlatts weight onto his shoulders and tried to pull him up.

HOLY fucking shit, schlatt!!! what the fuck happened?? who do i have to kill-

he rambled while slightly shaking the other, still trying to take a hold of his limp body.

-schlatt??

Here's a very important piece of Fusionsprunt lore:

Hunter nicknamed B2 "Bee"

That's it. That's the lore. Thanks for reading.

#starbstalks #fusionsprunt #According to Hunter: #'B2 is searching for people in need of extra help on a daily basis. She's like a worker bee‚ flying from flower to flower. It's amusing.' #'One minute she's carrying two heavy fruit baskets for the seller. You turn around and she's 3ft above the ground helping the engineers' #'At night‚ she simply collapses. She curls up and rests over the fabric of her own dress. It reminds me of bees sleeping in flowers...'
