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
@Alex_Bramley3 Wrong advice-It’s about relationships, be visible, support (and challenge) listen, never get too far away from the classroom (and all it’s complexities!) be interested about your staff’s life in and out of school! that’s my advice-staff are an expensive resource! Look after them!
@shitscaredmum So so sorry to hear this news! We don’t know each other but your beautiful girl has been in my thoughts constantly! I’m thinking you all as you move forward with your lives the way your darling girl would have wanted you to ❤️
@kjb2106 @MichaelRosenYes I’m certain there are fabulous inspectors and they will know what’s wrong with the system!! Be brave, be honest and speak up! Your voices and your silence is deafening!!
🔴BORIS JOHNSON wants to be NATO Secretary General
Putting an infamous liar who doesn't do detail in charge of a NUCLEAR-armed military alliance may not be a great idea?
RETWEET if you don't want Boris to head NATO
10 days ago I sent Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt a letter (below) asking him to postpone the govt's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April.
Since, SEVENTY major charities (below), & the energy industry trade body have signed up to support the letter.
IF YOU SUPPORT THE CALL PLS RT
