human beings are always going to be a part of nature, no matter how much they protest.

as far as good and evil, those are purely human concepts.

>>2275452
Good and evil weren't tangible entities until humans came along and made agreed upon decisions of what you can, and cannot do. "You cannot do evil, you must only do good." they all said, but that doesn't mean evil things were incapable of being performed. It was up to humans, since we're probably the first species to have developed a conscious and a sense of morality, to decide whether or not we wanted to be demented or righteous.

>>2275457
so the entire concept of good and evil is based around your personal feelings towards the subject

I never really understood getting more than 2 dogs. I only have 1 but I understand getting a second to keep company with the first, but why a third? Most people don't have the time, energy, and/or money to properly care for 1 dog, much less 3. Is it boredom?

>>2275489
i never leave the house and my dogs are the only thing that make me happy. I want to get another play mate for myself and my other dogs.

>>2275492
except for walking the dogs i should add and things i cant control

>>2275403
Dogs aren't stupid.

Friendly cats are sometimes taken in so it could be helpful to put up lost cat fliers in case someone decided to adopt it

cats are completely stupid

just like you, catfag

yes, it would stress out the rats.

As long as they are in separate rooms it should be fine. Just wash your hands after handling one(recommended to do regardless but i let it slide when I mess with my snakes sometimes) to avoid bites.
Friend of mine used to breed rats for his red tail and everything was fine. If you intend for them to be a food source please kill them before feeding though it will avoid injury to the snek and unneeded pain to the rat.

>>2275284
I've done this so I speak from experience. For starters, you should always do this anyway, but ALWAYS wash your hands after you handle/feed/clean out enclosures. Because if the rats smell the snake, it will stress them out big time. And if the snake smells the rats on you, you may get bitten because you smell like its food.
So yeah;
Keep them in separate rooms
Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling either pet/clean an enclosure, etc.
And (This one is super obvious but I may as well include it) Don't let them see each other and especially DON'T ever have them out at the same time.
As long as you do these things, you'll have a happy snake and a happy rat(s).
Oh, and feed frozen/thawed. It's safer for your snake, and you may feel conflicted about feeding one of your pets a 'family member' of your other pet, and f/t helps cut down on those feelings too.
Good luck and as always, read at least 3 guides on proper husbandry for both pets.

Dogs are shit

used to help keep 40-90 hives. the number fluctuates because each year some would die, some would split.

think less # of "hives" than # of "laying queens"

moderate effort, assuming barn and 4 wheel drive

they can be left outside in the winter if you're not getting below freezing too much.

price...box, extractor, queen, lbs of bees, suit, pest control, sugar water for winter feeding...its expensive, but pays for itself if you're a serious farmer or is worthwhile if you simply enjoy the gold

ehhh...got an extra 8,000 dollars? I wouldn't try from scratch if you don't

>>2274440
What about from a more casual perspective? I don't really want to start a business or anything.
What do you do during more harsh winters? Do you have to put them inside somehow?

>>2274476
I've never done it, but if you got a shed and managed to keep a heater in there, on at night/off during the day with the door open...you could probably just keep a couple hives in that shed year round with the doors always open in the summer.

say you want two hives. you can make your own, but still have to buy some stuff like the plastic frame base and a bee hood at least(make sure you're using non-agressive bees if you opt out of the whole suit) and a smoker. without ever moving them but the shed as well...then the extraction process(you can buy a manual hand-crank style extractor). ehh...you're still looking at a pretty penny. It all depends how handy you are, and if you lose a hive there goes 1/2 your production for the year.

per box its more expensive to only have a couple. Then wifey says "hey lets send a bottle to Uncle and Aunt so and so and there goes another 1/8 your year's production.

learn by doing? Harsh winter, though...bees do better around the equator than in the artic. I really wouldn't suggest beekeeping north of the 50th parallel(it gets good around Florida/SoCal).

>>2274409
