Never thought I'd see the day

This past Australian Open Joanne got me hooked on Cheesymite scrolls - a delicious blend of spreadable cheese and Vegemite baked until it is a little crusty on top of the roll. I basically had one every day after Joanne introduced it to me. Now I've just moved on to mainlining Vegemite. It goes on a little thicker each day.

I used to think that Vegemite tasted like licking an Australian pub floor around 2am. I think I was being a bit unfair at the time but it is definitely an acquired taste. My only concern now is - why didn't I buy a bigger jar?

Wax Moths

This is what happens when you have a weak hive. This was my Russian hive and I have to say I'm not to bummed that the hive is gone. My Russians have always been a troublesome and unproductive hive. As the hive grew weaker as winter approached, the Wax Moths moved in. It's simple; the moth lays eggs, the larvae eat the wax then cocoon in their own webbing. They can destroy a hive in a week. I ended up completely burning this hive - which is a story in itself. Pine, propolis and wax make a perfect source for combustion. Lets just say I lit up the neighborhood.

Really?

I'm skeptical, but Matt says that he agrees. I haven't tried one yet.
