I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1297 - My Revised Method for Growing BEE and WORKERBEE - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, February 14, 2026

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In a recent post I mentioned that I'm on a quest to become a BEE Master, and I described the most effective and efficient method of growing BEE that I had found. Basically, staked BEE grows the fastest via ever-increasing curation rewards. Today I wanted to slightly revise this methodology by adding one more extremely beneficial component, WORKERBEE.

Up until now, I've continued to swap half of any amount of BEE over 1 for WORKERBEE, and then add them both into the BEE:WORKERBEE pool, to grow both over time from pool fees. The thing about adding them into that pool, however, is that they grow very slowly, unless very large amounts of liquidity are added.

Given that staked WORKERBEE, aside from being a governance token for Hive-Engine witness nodes, is also the miner token for BEE, this means that it can be used to accelerate the growth of BEE. When combined with the BEE curation rewards, it creates synergistic self-growing system that strongly boosts the growth of both tokens.

Staked BEE will continue growing through curation rewards, which makes the curation rewards themselves continue to increase, and when liquid BEE is swapped for more WORKERBEE, it further speeds up the process of the accumulation of liquid BEE, which can then be swapped for more WORKERBEE, and so on. So it creates a self-amplifying system of growth for both of these very useful tokens, which is exactly the type of synergy that I'm always working to create.

On my own account, lots of BEE is necessary to add into various useful diesel/liquidity pools, and while this is true in my asset-leveraging endeavors for the We Are Alive Tribe as well, it's also very important to allow large amounts of liquid BEE to accumulate, for use in the creation of new ALIVE pools, and to create new distribution contracts for pool rewards. If and when I'm able to substantially increase our weekly HIVE income to the point where it notably surpasses what we earn from our delegation of 20,400+ BEE, then I'd very much like to recall our delegated BEE, as that amount of staked BEE would pull in very high curation rewards, which would dramatically accelerate our process of growing BEE and WORKERBEE. I very much like that idea.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, a bit late, by a little before 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With that completed to my satisfaction, I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area a bit, and to harvest a ripe banana rack next to Tutu's. Once I had those done, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I did a little organizing in the new kitchen space, before grabbing my machete to go do some clearing work next to the Flow House, to begin liberating a grafted mango tree. Upon finishing that for the day, I took a shower, made myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard) in the new kitchen space, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to start my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by around 9PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by just after 11:15PM. I woke up about 4AM, and unable to sleep, I did some asset management, and smoked a spliff, before making another attempt at sleep. I woke up again just after 7AM, having slept reasonably well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen space, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11:45AM, so it's a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my assorted Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

You're invited to provide liquidity in our two ALIVE diesel/liquidity pools, both of which offer daily liquidity rewards:

ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE

and

ALIVE:ALIVEM

There will be more ALIVE pools coming soon!

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
