Q: Backtalk is a disrespectful response to a parent in the form of yelling, cursing, eye rolling, or even sarcasm. It occurs as a way to fight back, but all it does is create conflict. Learning to manage knee-jerk reactions helps to show parents that you respect their authority.  Recognize the problem first. If you realize the problem and want to change it, you've already taken the biggest step. It takes maturity to understand the differing perspectives and reactions between kids and parents. Apologize to your parents. Admit to your parents that you have disrespected them, and ask them for their assistance as you attempt to change your behavior. Take a mental "time-out." The next time you are tempted to say something disrespectful, take a second to regroup before speaking from emotion alone. Take into consideration what your parents are saying, and where they are coming from. The majority of our communication comes from not what we say, but how we say it. It's in the tone of your voice, your eye contact, and the way you move. Be sure that your nonverbal signals demonstrate respect and understanding.  Avoid crossing your arms. This shows that you are defensive and not open to communicating. Watch your tone. Avoid being sarcastic or raising the tone of your voice. This shows that emotions are beginning to take over instead of logic. Try speaking in a calm and controlled manner instead. Make eye contact. This shows that you are genuine in what you are saying and that you are interested in hearing what your parents have to say as well. In the heat of discussions, you may veer off point and discuss any and everything that is causing you anger, pain, or stress. Try to stay focused on a single point of discussion so you can work through your problems one at a time without getting overwhelmed.  Check for unresolved problems before beginning a conversation. If you know you're holding onto anger or pain, they can be a hindrance to effective communication. Clear up any unresolved issues (one at a time) before attempting to move forward. At the beginning of your conversation, make an agreement with your parents that you will only focus on one issue at a time. If either of you seems to be straying from the topic, politely remind each other to stay on topic. Parents are not always right, but that doesn't mean you have to be disrespectful in the process of proving your point. Instead of getting into a shouting match with your parents, calmly and rationally get them to see your point of view.  Write it out. Consider what point you're trying to get across to your parents, and write out reasons and examples that will support your argument. Talk to them at a later time. Reschedule your discussion for a time when emotions aren't running high. Instead, choose a time when your parents aren't busy or stressed to sit down and calmly present your argument. Use "I" statements to get your point across without being defensive. "I" statements consist of the behavior that is bothering you, how it makes you feel, and what needs to change.. For example, instead of saying, "you never listen to me" you could replace the statement with "I feel as if I'm not being heard, and I would like my opinion to matter more." Allow your parents into your world. Tell them about school, your job, your crush, or anything interesting that you might not have shared previously. Share any worries or fears with your parents, as they've probably been through something similar before. By engaging them in genuine conversation it shows that you both trust them, and care about their opinion.  Trust them with your secrets. Of course, you won't feel comfortable telling your parents everything, but showing them that you trust them with a small secret will demonstrate your appreciation towards their wisdom. Don't be afraid to show emotions. It's okay to show fear, anger, nervousness, joy or any other emotions with your parents. Allowing them into your life is just a small gesture to show them you care.
A: Don't talk back. Watch your body language. Don't bring up the past. Agree to disagree. Engage in open conversation.

Q: The easiest way to buy bees is to go to a local, well-respected beekeeper and purchase bees from them. You can also talk to local beekeepers about where they get their bees so that you can make sure to get quality bees.  You can buy bees from sellers on the internet but just be aware that you will not be able to inspect the bees before purchase, so you risk the chance of getting a weak or really new hive. When buying bees you should think about the type of bees you want. There are 4 main types of honey bees to buy: Italians, Caucasians, Carniolans, and hybrids. Italian bees are generally the most popular bee to keep because of the amount of honey they produce. However, Caucasian bees tend to be considered the gentlest of the honey bees and Carniolans tend to be hardy bees that survive the winter well. Bee keepers have also created a variety of hybrid bees that take traits from the other varieties. bees in the spring. Once your hive is all set up you can buy bees and start beekeeping. It's best to do it in the spring, when there will be plenty of food around for the new colony to establish itself. You can also catch a swarm of bees in the wild and introduce them to your hive. These are bees that have outgrown their previous hive and are looking for a new home. However, swarms can typically only be caught in the spring and it can take some skills and patience to populate a hive this way. When you order bees they will come in a package that includes thousands of worker bees and one queen bee. To start the new colony, place the queen in the hive in the container she arrived in. Typically, she will come in a small box that has a small cover you remove. Under the cover she will still be blocked inside by a layer of candy. This candy will be removed by the worker bees over the course of several days, which will allow the queen and workers to get acclimated to each other. Be sure to follow the directions for placing the queen in the hive that comes with the bees. These directions will be specific to the type of packaging your bees came in. Once the queen is in place you can then introduce the bees. Gently tap the container of bees to loosen the clump of them. Then open the cover and pour the bees into the hive. Once the majority of them are in the hive between the frames, put the inner cover and the outer cover on the hive.  There will be some bees left in the container. Just set the open container on the outside of the hive and the lingering bees will find their way into the hive. Once you have put the worker bees in the hive, you can put the inner and outer covers on the hive.
