All: a chux wipe is just the brand name for handi-wipes in Australia and New Zealand. Same manufacturer and look the same, although what they call a "heavy duty" wipe looks more like the regular...

We just got bees legalized in the city of Norfolk in October. Before that time, the local bee clubs were catching lots of swarms here. Apparently bees don't read zoning ordinances and some...

Howdy all, my name is Chip and I'm from Norfolk Virginia. Thanks first off to our kind hosts who have put together this site and allowed all of us to post here.

A little bit about myself. New...
