![]() ![]() They also all do waggle dances and I’ve previously listed them when discussing the evolutionary conservation of these dances. Other members of the genus Apis also collect and store nectar which humans exploit. Apis mellifera – the honey bee almost all readers of this site will manage – is the western honey bee. The word Apis actually means ‘bee’ (though, as we’ll see, there are lots of other bees as well that are not members of the genus Apis). No details I’m afraid, and I didn’t look too carefully as my cynicism got the better of me.ĭo these bees – meaning honey bees – need saving? The chosen few one How do they remove, image and return frames without squashing bees?Īnd how effective is their non-chemical mite control? Automatic inspection and imaging of each frame, automated swarm control and non-chemical Varroa control. Undoubtedly the technology – like the Bentley – is very impressive. They claim to save the bees (obviously), improve yields and improve pollination. Total funding (as of late 2022) was about $120 million. ![]() How about Beewise, the creator of the first-in-class robotic autonomous smart beehive? ![]() I’m not going to provide an exhaustive review of these … it’s all a bit depressing and they’re all much of a muchness. And, frankly, the finances here make plonking a few National hives outside a factory in Crewe seem like tokenism. Honey bees are so threatened (apparently) that there are other businesses also helping save them. There’s an entire industry aiming to ‘save the bees’ by introducing new beehives into the environment, filling them with honey bees and managing them for profit (Oh yes … and the environmental benefits blah, blah, blah.). Some beekeeping associations even got in on the act, with ‘sponsor a hive’ initiatives and it turns out there are also a load of sponsor a hive commercial companies out there as well. For a fee (often considerable) the hosting company can claim they’re doing their bit for ‘biodiversity and the environment’. There are businesses that can provide managed hives. Save the beesĪlmost always, when a company mentions something about saving the bees, they mean honey bees. ![]() If you are serious about contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem services, like pollination, you get bees … and, naturally (no pun intended), by doing that you’re also ’saving the bees’.īentley have about 10 hives at Crewe, housing some very yellow looking ‘British Apis Mellifera’ (sic) that produce about 200 jars of honey a year.īut it’s not just Bentley who are ’saving the bees’. Hard disk space: 12 gigabytes additional space for saving games and installed modsĪs well as the computing power, resources for the respective operating system (Linux or Windows) must also be taken into consideration for the “7 Days to Die” server application.Fortunately, Bentley are doing their bit to reduce the carbon footprint (of manufacture 3 ) the Crewe factory site has been certified carbon neutral since 2019 and they’ve created a ‘green wall’ containing 2600 plants to filter out toxins and dust, which also produces 40 kg of oxygen a year 4.RAM: 3-4 gigabytes for 2-4 players 8 gigabytes for 5-16 players.Processor (CPU): AMD or Intel (2 cores) from 2.4 gigahertz for 1-4 players 3 gigahertz for 5-16 players.The following hardware is recommended starting out: The same should be considered when using different mods. The CPU and RAM should be planned around the size of game world and the number of players. The requirements are more or less the same as other multiplayer games. Therefore, the values provided below are based on empirical values. There is no official information from the developers regarding the hardware requirements for hosting the “7 Days to Die” dedicated server software. You’ll also benefit from the provider’s excellent Internet connection, which is significantly stronger than connections available in private households. Another option is to rent the hardware from a provider, which means you won’t have to worry about security measures and maintenance. This will enable you to offer a long term and stable gaming experience to users who have connected to the server. Players who are playing with four players or more should definitely consider the “7 Days to Die” dedicated server software and the dedicated hardware. As soon as you shut down your device or quit 7 Days to Die, the server will be offline for all players. Also, it is worth noting that the server only runs when you are running the session. However, this option is only recommended if you want to play the game with a group of people. This is advantageous as you don’t have to buy or rent additional hardware. These game sessions, which can be private or public, run directly on your device. “7 Days to Die” has a built-in feature for hosting multiplayer adventures over the Internet. ![]()
