Any beekeepers on /an/?
I am hunting for a career that an anxious sperg like me will enjoy. Beekeeping has been brought up a few times and from afar it seems like a very good pathway. I've been considering visiting a local club to get introduced to the craft.
Any advice? I live in the suburbs which may make finding room for hives a hassle.

I'll give you a bump OP. We had a beekeeping general up last week that was really good, maybe some of the guys will see this thread.

The only money to be made keeping bees is to do polination work, which is a pain in the ass.
The honey market is flooded with cheap mixed shit from China.

Hey /an/, thinking about getting my first snake. I'm torn between the ball python and the corn. I want the ball because of its weight and girth, and its chill nature when handled, I want the corn because of its energy and lack of feeding issues and strict habitat standards
Any personal experiences with one or other?

Getting a ball python is one of the best decisions of my life. Once you get the habitat set up and get the temperature and humidity right, it's super easy and fun. 10/10 would recommend

>The ads have been trying to persuade me not to kill house centipedes on sight for the past few months
>the ads probably key off of my extreme hatred of house centipedes to some extent
It's like marketers think that they can overturn millions of years of evolutionary programming. The absolute worst thing that they could have done in the course of making their point, was to /actually post a picture of the animal/. I will always kill house centipedes on sight, and so should you, /an/. I don't give a good-god-damn what insects they kill - and neither should you.
If there were a single animal species on this earth that I could cause to go extinct, it would be the house centipede.
Always, ALWAYS squish house centipedes, and take a perverse satisfaction from seeing their many limbs twitch while their trunk is just a pile of goo.

Any ideas what kind of spider this is? It's a little smaller than a quarter and not very fast. I keep finding them under my bed and under my covers. I know it's kind of a garbage picture, and the jar I grabbed it in was too warped to see details.
I should also note I live in Georgia.

That does look very similar. There's a new one every couple of days so I was just making sure it wasn't a dark brown recluse or something...

Just look for the violin on their cephalothorax. They're rarely very dark in color too, especially not the ones you'd find in Georgia.

How is this different from the development of a subspecies? If tan-white pairings become the only viable thing, won't they eventually produce some sort of "hybrid" offspring that can only mate with the hybrid "subspecies"?

Or... just evolution? New species forms, old species becomes unable to mate? Dies off?
>>
>>2453204
A subspecies is geographically separated from other subspecies within a species and generally breeds with its own subspecies more often than with other subspecies. When you get a subspecies it usually indicates some form of genetic drift where one population or more is slowly evolving in a different way from other populations. In this case both color morphs occur together throughout the entire range and they ONLY breed with each other.
There's no hybrid offspring because the chromosomes align to produce birds that are only tan and birds that are only white--nothing in-between. That's why they were saying it's like a second set of sex chromosomes.
That said, this article dumbs it down pretty hard. There's a lot of variation within the colors related to age and sex, and it doesn't going into any of the science in their studies. It's more of a human-interest story than a science story.

>It's more of a human-interest story than a science story.
Pretty much. Reading it I could already see it being passed around SJW and tranny social media circles as if this odd and poorly understood mutation and sexual selection process in one location in a non-human species gives them some sort of cover for cutting their own dicks off and pretending to prance about in the form of a little girl.

My lasius niger queen's first workers have arrived in the test tube, and I soon have to home them to a permanent living space.
Would building something like suffice?
I have no prior experience with ant keeping, so any tutorial on how and what to build would be most welcome.

It'll last about 3 before they eat through the plastic to expand their territory. They're seriously territorial and once they get out and perceive something as their territory, they'll destroy anything that lays foot there.
So will something like that suffice? That's for you to decide.

I could do it in a glass tank too, I haven't bought any materials yet.
>>
>>2452837
Glass would be better, but they'll eventually gnaw through the glass as well. It depends on how much of a cruel bitch the queen is. She tells everyone what to do in the hive, and she knows damn well how hard it is to chew through plastic or glass. Basically 40-50% of queens are sadists, if you are lucky you won't get a sadistic queen and you'll never have to worry about it at all

Found a small tank while clearing out my old room. I used this many years ago as a temporary tank for my fish while I cleaned my main one, but that has been lost to the ages and I am left with just this one.
What could I put in it, that won't feel constricted or cramped?
Sizes are:
L 25cm
W 13cm
H 23cm
