Island Comb makes free tools and plain guides for beekeepers, on Prince Edward Island.
How the tools are made
- Figures come from published sources (government and extension publications first), and each tool page lists them.
- Where sources disagree, the tool shows the choice instead of picking one quietly.
- Anything worked out rather than published is said to be worked out.
- Tools run in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. No accounts, no cookies.
What is counted
To learn which pages and tools are used, each page sends one small note to this site's own server: the page address, whether you came from a search engine, another site or straight in (the kind of source only, never the address you came from), whether the screen is a phone, tablet or computer, and on tool pages that a calculation or a print happened. Nothing you type into a tool is sent. No cookies are set, and no IP address, browser details or identifier are stored, so visits cannot be linked to a person or to each other. There is no third-party analytics.
Type and pictures
Headings are set in Castoro and text in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface drawn by the Braille Institute to stay readable at small sizes; both are free under the SIL Open Font License and served from this site. The picture on the home page is drawn for the site.
Selling
Nothing is for sale here. If that changes, it will be clearly marked as a shop, separate from the free tools.
