  • Huh! TIL. I had that for years and years on both feet, then one day it snagged on a pair of jeans as I was putting them on and the one on my right foot got ripped out. Hurt like crazy and bled like you wouldn’t believe. Still have the left one, but the right never grew back. Always wondered why, and I guess the answer is it had its own nail bed and I ripped that out



  • Iunno, never personally seen it. Just heard about it online when I first started looking into beekeeping (which I ultimately did not take up).

    Still interested in doing it (the keeping not the clipping), if you have any advice on getting started for someone with like 18 dollars between paydays. Lol


  • Best friend’s a vegan who raises bees. He doesn’t clip wings or use smoke. From what I gather he basically just maintains their boxes, feeds them sugar when it’s too cold for em, and collects honey when it’s time. Someone is about to come along and say “he’s not a vegan. Sounds like a vegetarian” and then I’m going to think “sounds like you’re gatekeeping a lifestyle like it’s a religion, and not even all vegans who don’t use honey agree on whether or not a vegan can use honey” but I won’t, because I don’t wanna get wrapped up in the nonsense.

    But either way, yes, some vegans do use honey. And some, like that theoretical commenter, don’t eat anything that casts a shadow.
