Post from a Beekeeper 🐝
“Its late, and maybe in the morning I'll delete this post, but I've just got home and for now I need to write this down.
Earlier this evening I received a message from a home owner to say they had a swarm of bees in their hedge, but they were worried about them because children had been throwing water at them.
By the time my fellow beekeeper and I arrived, what had been a beautiful prime swarm was reduced to a few hundred drenched bees, huddling limply around their queen.
I've already deleted the photos of the puddles of water, the dripping wet hedge, and the many, many dead and dying bees that hadn't been able to escape the attack; sharing those pictures serves no purpose.
We gently placed the bees that had survived into a collection box, and hopefully tomorrow, when they've had chance to dry out and settle, we'll check on them and if necessary feed them; they'll be exhausted and possibly (understandably) defensive. They've been through a lot.
Please, please, help me to educate your children, your grandchildren, your neices and nephews, your neighbours, your colleagues and your friends that a swarm of bees isn't dangerous - they're amazing creatures that are just looking for a new home.
Please don't let anyone harm them.
Just call a beekeeper who will gladly rehome them.
Please help me to spread this message and hopefully save any more bees from being unnecessarily harmed” 😢
Sad and unhappy Beekeeper

Johnson & Patel want to deport refugees to Rwanda before even hearing their stories. Many have fled repression & war

We spoke to a Syrian held at a UK detention centre & recorded the call

Fearing retribution, his words are translated and spoken by an actor

This is his story

@BootstrapCook It's no longer a choice between heating or eating. I know many who can do neither.

Bang on from @GNev2. High-ranking politicians, including the Prime Minister, gave the nod to fans booing players for taking a stand against racism.

They cannot turn around and act surprised by what’s been unleashed now: they facilitated it! https://t.co/s7n1LCnCbp

It looks like the hot weather is sticking around a while longer so here's a reminder about the dangers of open water from Beckie Ramsay 💔

If you know someone who might be planning on spending time near open water please have a chat with them - it could save their life.

If everyone who has ever been grateful for non-British NHS staff followed and retweeted we would reach a million followers in minutes and be much stronger together
