Springtime For The Bee
Posted on February 16, 2009
A brief description of the life of a colony of bees in the spring.
As the days get longer with the onset of spring, the mass of bees clinging to the combs start to feel the slight increase in temperature, and the cluster begins to move. Those bees on the outside of the cluster move into the warmer centre of the group, and those on the inside start to move to the outside, making their way to venture out into the world again.
The beekeeper, who should by now be watching for signs of activity, will be pleased to see these first emissaries coming out of the hive. First one or two, then a few, then many will find their way out. They don’t go far, or stay out for very long initially. They refresh their memories on their hive surroundings. Feed from stores, and get themselves ready for life on the treadmill. Gathering food for the hive.

Don’t be fooled by the misconception that all vegetarian food is made from a low calorie vegetarian recipe. It may be the case if the dish is based solely around vegetables but often the addition of oils, dairy products, nuts and seeds significantly raise the calorie content.
If you think that there is no such thing as an overweight vegetarian then think again! Perhaps that is how you found yourself at this site. If you are a looking for a low calorie vegetarian recipe that tastes like it is NOT a low calorie vegetarian recipe then congratulations because you are in the right place!
I have found the most popular low calorie vegetarian recipe to be Spinach Quiche with Oat Crust. It tastes so good that most people would not even realize that it is vegetarian or low in calories!

Caffeinated Beverages
Posted on January 3, 2009
Think caffeine and what’s the first beverage to come to mind? Sure, coffee. Any history of coffee is also going to be a history of caffeine and vice versa. And tea will probably show up somewhere in there as well. Next on the list has got to be the soft drink. And then probably those energy drinks. And that should be it, right. After all, why would there possibly be any need for any other beverage to contain caffeine?
Coffee is the caffeinated beverage of choice for most people in the morning. It’s also the favorite go-to drink at business offices. Apparently, nothing gets the mojo moving better than coffee. Nothing provides better proof of coffee’s standing in the western world than the rise of Starbucks. Pretty soon they will officially be on every street corner in America. Watch out world: you’re next!
