Communing with honeybees has people buzzing in Boulder County

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:32:51 GMT

Reclining on a bench in a wooden hut mere inches above thousands of humming honeybees in four active hives might sound like a frightening experience to some. It seems to have the opposite effect on guests who spend time in the “bee huts” at the Capella Ranch in Lafayette.There is nothing to fear because, while the hum of the bees and the aroma of fresh honey can waft into the hut’s interior through slats in the bench, the bees are kept out by screen mesh. Most guests find their visits relaxing, and some report more profound effects.When Kari Tewalt had her first bee hut experience there this week, she was entranced by the sound of the bees, noticing it had a “meditative” effect on her. She also felt what she called a “magnetic field,” a head-to-toe sensation akin to goosebumps.“It’s a sensation almost like an energy flow,” said Tewalt, 48, a Broomfield resident who enjoyed her session so much she made reservations for a return vi...

Projecting the Broncos’ 2023 schedule under new head coach Sean Payton

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:32:51 GMT

The NFL schedule is set to be released at 6 p.m. Thursday — apparently Aaron Rodgers’ trade to the New York Jets and Lamar Jackson’s mega-extension in Baltimore didn’t throw a wrench in the proceedings — and so far we don’t know too much more about it than that.We know the Broncos won’t be playing internationally. We know it’s unlikely, though not impossible, that Denver ends up playing on the road Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas Day and New Year’s weekend like it did last year. We may learn a bit more about select games or if the Broncos end up playing in the NFL’s first Black Friday game on Wednesday.Outside of that, it’s a blank canvas. So what better to do than throw some paint and see what happens. Maybe a masterpiece.Here’s dueling scheduling predictions from Broncos beat writers Parker Gabriel and Ryan McFadden. To the winner goes eternal glory.McFadden’s projectionWeek 1: at Kansas City Chiefs (Thursday Night Football)Week 2: Cleveland BrownsWeek 3: New York Jets (Mond...

Opinion: Why Americans are increasingly identifying as political independents

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:32:51 GMT

Since 2004, the number of Americans who identify as political independents has skyrocketed. In the first decade of the 21st century, nearly two-thirds of American voters affiliated with one of the two major parties. Now, this figure is less than half, and there are slightly more political “independents” than either Democrats or Republicans.“It was never unusual for younger adults to have higher percentages of independents than older adults,” Jeff Jones, an analyst with Gallup Polls, told Axios in April. “What is unusual is that as Gen X and millennials get older, they are staying independent rather than picking a party, as older generations tended to do.”The rise in political independents is part of a larger trend. Jones argues that it’s due to a broad “disillusionment with the political system, U.S. institutions and the two parties, which are seen as ineffectual, too political and too extreme.”Axios proposed that antsy, unsatisfied independent voters were the reason that control of...

Dowd: Conservative male justices are obsessed with who has wronged them

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:32:51 GMT

The Supreme Court is still great.It’s the greatest gathering of grievances we’ve ever seen on the high court. The woe-is-me bloc of conservative male justices is obsessed with who has wronged them.It might be an opportune time to hire a Supreme shrink so these resentful men can get some much-needed therapy and stop working out their issues from the bench.Neil Gorsuch is settling a score for his mother.In her memoir, Anne Gorsuch Burford wrote that when she was forced out as Ronald Reagan’s Environmental Protection Agency administrator in 1983, her 15-year-old son, Neil, “was really upset.” He told her, “You should never have resigned. You didn’t do anything wrong. You only did what the president ordered. You raised me not to be a quitter. Why are you a quitter?”Burford was attacked during her tempestuous tenure as an enemy of the environment who slashed rules and spending to gut the EPA.Last year, her son moved to complete her toxic mission. He enthusiastically joined the 6-3 vote t...

Kurtenbach: Steph Curry was brilliant in Game 4. His Warriors teammates failed him again

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:32:51 GMT

LOS ANGELES — I will not write off the Warriors, who are now down 3-1 in their Western Conference Semifinals series with the Los Angeles Lakers.Not yet, at least.Because until the Warriors are actually eliminated, with the final shovel full of dirt hitting the top of the Warriors’ coffin coming in the form of a fourth loss in the series, I refuse to believe this dynasty — undefeated in the Western Conference playoffs since 2015 — is dead.But I won’t lie to you, either. Things are looking pretty grim for the Dubs.And while we’re telling unsavory truths, here’s another: The Warriors find themselves in this possibly (likely?) season-ending predicament because Steph Curry’s teammates failed him in Game 4.He was failed by Klay Thompson, who only scored nine points and took several bad shots in crunch time. He was failed by Jordan Poole, who was downright unplayable on Monday. He was failed by Draymond Green (five turnovers) and Andrew Wiggins (as many turnov...
