Tampa Bay beekeepers can use your old political signs to save the bees

You know what beats taking a literal shit on your neighbor’s old Trump sign? Using it to keep bees warm. That’s what happens at places like Sarasota Honey Company and Clearwater’s Glory Bee Farms where the cardboard is being repurposed as a barrier between bees and pests (and the cold). Biden signs work just as well, too. sarasotahoney.com and glorybeefarm.com

Tiffozi Apparel

When was the last time something came along that you didn’t know existed, but also couldn’t live without when you found it? Enter Tiffozi, the ridiculously meticulous vintage soccer (football if you’re cool) apparel shop located on the old Main Street near North Howard Avenue Boasting a seriously impressive collection of vintage soccer gear, from track jackets to jerseys and the like, Tiffozi has a collection worth gawking at, even if you aren’t a fan of the sport. What makes it even cooler? It’s appointment only, unless you can make it down on a Saturday to see the goods in person. I know where I’m headed for my next Steven Gerrard jersey. tiffoziapparel.com
