D is for…
Dumbledore, Dandelions and Don’t.
#Dumbledore - an old English word for #bumblebee!
#Dandelions - #flowers not #weeds and vital early forage for #bees.
Don’t - don’t use #poisons like #glyphosate in your #garden. They’re designed to harm and kill.
And they do!

A is for…
Apis, Apple and Arse.
Apis - the latin for bee.
Apple - the fruit that means #bees buzzed about Adam and Eve (if that’s what you believe!). Pollinated by bees.
Arse - as in this amazing Red Arsed #Bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) now found foraging above the Arctic circle!

Hello good people.
I’m back!
‘You were gone?’ I hear you ask.😂
Been lost in the multiverse for the past three weeks seeking answers.
More confused than ever.
Service as usual will resume from tomorrow.
In the meantime:
26 days until World Bee Day which falls on the 20th May this year.
So that means exactly the correct amount of time for…
Drum roll Mr Grohl if you please…
Thank you very much…
