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

Following the news that private healthcare lobbyist Ben Morgan has been given an advisory role by Number 10, it’s time for me to once again post this sadly evergreen video from 2018.

@SkyF1GP sky sky sky! Why why why do you still employ Paul De-give-it-a-resta?I have watched F1 for 30+yrs and have never witnessed a presenter/commentator so dire, deadpan and boring as PD! He turns the most dynamic and exhilarating sport in to a boring safety talk! Pls get rid.

.@trussliz it’s great to see the gov't prioritising protecting our NHS and standards in a trade deal with America. But we need legal safeguards to ensure they’re here for years to come. Will you commit to introducing these guarantees?
