The East hive. This would technically be the oldest hive since the OG queen moved here with a split, or maybe after I caught a queen wandering around after the split which I suspect was the old queen since I probably split them days before they would have swarmed or she couldn't fly good enough to swarm.. whatever, she was here and generally I'd say it's been the best hive but a bit swarmy. Lots of drones in this photo.
5/5 🏁

The White hive. Not much to say about it, I think it swarmed twice or more last year so I suppose it doesn't really have much character.
-
The Center hive. This hive always has lots of bees, and swarmed once last year so maybe the slight meanness of some bees went with that queen. It was like 1 of 100 bees would just hit you and sting you, no warning, when checking them.
-
The Green hive. This is the part of the split with the queen from the East hive. It's activity is picking up every day as more foragers take flight. They have a green 4 leaf clover and a water trough to help ID the hive and for other bees to see sooner it's not their hive. I noticed a lot of drift from other hives landing or almost landing before realizing it wasn't their hive.
-
The West hive. These bees seem to be smaller. They could just be young bees but I've seen the small ones bringing in pollen. They seem healthy and didn't have any issues over the winter. This was a swarm caught July 17 last year and combined here since this box had swarmed and I probably cleared out it's queen cell when checking things.

Should see some open bloom on the Gravenstein apples this coming week. At the 'late pink' stage.

The Brooks plum, Comice pear, and Bosc pear will bloom this year. They were planted last spring. Not sure if I can keep any fruit on the pears, but the plum should be able to support a few fruit.

The lawsuit in question is #Buchanan v. #Trump,
a case that started in 2020 after protesters sued Trump in his official capacity and a number of other officials for unconstitutionally clearing them away from #Lafayette #Square #Park that June
by using chemical irritants including tear gas in as they #peacefully #protested the police killing of #George #Floyd.Trump famously walked through the park moments afterwards to visit a church and take a photo with a #Bible.
The case has faced many twists and turns and has been litigated for years.
Buchanan as well as another group of plaintiffs represented by the American Civil Liberties Union in a separate lawsuit, Black Lives Matter DC v. Trump, ended up settling with government after pitched litigation.With that settlement, new policies for protesters were achieved.
👉But what remained were #damage #claims against Trump and other officials present at the square that day, like former Attorney General #Bill #Barr.Buchanan’s claims were ultimately thrown out due to restrictive laws protecting federal officials from civil lawsuits and they appealed. But they lost again on similar grounds.
With that finding made and their lawsuits at a seeming standstill, the Buchanan plaintiffs had 💥one avenue left:
A new amended complaint approved by a judge.💥👉And that is exactly what’s unfolded quietly in the background of Trump’s many other pressing legal dramas in recent weeks and months.
Though the merits of the plaintiff’s amended claims have yet to be decided,
♦️a judge has granted the parties the right to serve Trump.♦️Lee Crain, a partner at Gibson Dunn, the firm representing the Buchanan plaintiffs, told Law&Crime in an email Friday:
"We anticipate filing our claims against Mr. Trump by #April12, as the Court directed in granting our motion to amend in part. Our clients look forward to seeing Mr. Trump in Court and holding him accountable for his and others’ attacks on the rights of peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square."
According to a minute entry on the federal docket in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, a joint status report is now due on #April20.
That will go toward the negotiation of deadlines for motions with Trump’s lawyers and it will determine whether Trump stays on the case.
It's hard to imagine he would be able to divorce himself from it.
Based on the original claims, the new lawsuit is expected to reflect similarly and pursue him in his personal capacity for the distress he caused.Whether he stays on as a named defendant, with his personal presence over Lafayette Square looming so large that June, it is likely he would be asked to testify in proceedings regardless.
Through his attorneys, Trump recently told civil litigant police and U.S. lawmakers suing him over the violence of Jan. 6 that if he was forced to face them in court, it would unfairly expose his defense strategy when he faces off agains special counsel #Jack #Smith in his impending election subversion trial.
Just about everywhere he has been indicted, Trump has clung to his blanket #presidential #immunity claim to stave off proceedings.
But the pressing of that defense can only last for so long. As of Friday, there is less than a month until the #Supreme #Court meets to hear oral arguments on it.
