Two of my friends wanted to keep bees in an urban environment. After a lot of brainstorming the idea of an educational beehive was born. With the Plexiglas enclosure it is safely possible to come up really close to the hives.

There were many volunteers, and I was part of the 6 core people who built the structure. This was 10 years ago, and I have learned a lot about bees and even given tours to the garden and hives for elementary school groups. We just had the 10th annual bee fest. It is so rewarding to see a project have this kind of longevity and positive impact in the community. I've met a lot of people through this effort, some have turned into really good friends.

I'll stop rambling now, but happy to answer questions below :)

I do like glide/swipe typing. But I've noticed recently that the word I'm trying to glide is showing up as the prediction, so I lift my finger, only to find a different* word has been inserted.

*It's not a completely different word, it is compatible with my glide path, but why predict the correct word, show it to me, and then insert something else?

Any ideas on how to increase the accuracy? (just happened again: showed accuracy and inserted activity instead)

I tried to paste a screenshot into a comment and also tried to upload a PNG, both provoked an error:

client.js:2 SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON

I couldn't figure out a way to get the full error without ...

Edit: thanks for the food, it's working again :)
