Favour Exchange Ireland: Banking Favours

http://www.favourexchangeireland.com/2015/04/banking-favours.html

Praise from Michael D! The favour is a time currency. (15 minutes =1 Favour, though you can change the value if your members/coordinators prefer). The currency works best if people are familiar with it and trust the banking process. Banking needs to be timely, accurate and transparent. Again, the technology can help. You could simply keep paper records and post them up from time to time, if you prefer but that is very time-consuming. For more information go to this link:. Favour Exchange In Your Area.

Favour Exchange Ireland: In the Media

http://www.favourexchangeireland.com/2014/06/in-press.html

Praise from Michael D! In a recessionary world, PATRICK FREYNE examines how to get goods and services without resorting to cash. With our complicated financial system and highly technologized society, it’s unlikely that barter will make a widespread return. The sentences “I will swap you three hens for an iPhone 5” or “I will kill a wolf for a go of your Xbox” are unlikely to be crossing many lips. How does it work? I also got some pet advice from Clonakilty based vet Aisling McAuliffe. My household ...

Favour Exchange Ireland: Guidelines & Problem Solving

http://www.favourexchangeireland.com/2015/04/guidelines-problem-solving.html

Praise from Michael D! Guidelines and Problem Solving. It's important to establish a good ethos and guidelines for member interaction - and to ask members to commit to them when they are registering. Long, involved handbooks, policy documents and rule books won't help and will likely hang about on shelves gathering dust. Some simple, clearly-stated practical principles and guidelines will be plenty. Here's an example from the Sheep's Head Favour Exchange. However, it's important for members to let the co...

South West Cork Bees: Talk on queen bee rearing in Clonakilty

http://www.southwestcorkbees.com/2012/02/talk-on-queen-bee-rearing-in-clonakilty.html

Talk on queen bee rearing in Clonakilty. Noel Power (right) helps James Scannel pollinate an orchard. The problem last year in South West Cork was the death of so many queens. Queens are proving hard to keep for bee-keepers everywhere, and without queens the hives are less productive, produce too many drones, and eventually die. Last year most of the queen bees in the south-west cork region died, and no wild queens could be found to replace them. For special discounts on supplies see News and Events here.

South West Cork Bees: Unusual weather patterns are affecting bees and pollination

http://www.southwestcorkbees.com/2012/11/unusual-weather-patterns-are-affecting.html

Unusual weather patterns are affecting bees and pollination. Bee keepers in Whitelands examine their colonies. Worrying too is that climate changes are causing bees and flowers to become out of synch with each other. Bees survive by feeding on plants, and plants fruit by being pollinated by bees. So if the bees are late and the flowers are early, an increasing pattern in latter years, they both lose out. As reported in the Guardian. Wrong weather at the wrong time. To continue to breed". Fortunately ther...
