Oh I love the bees. I keed the bees!
Candyman, Candyman, Candyman…
To be with bees or not to be with bees?
That is the question
Didn’t realize this until I read more about the topic, but human managed hives are really not the threatened bit and may even be part of the problem in North America and other parts of the world. Though I really like honey and enjoy looking at hives under glass. Planting native plants and not using pesticides is likely the best way to support native bees.

I mean, do earwigs make chutney? Do spiders make gravy? What is going on?
Earwigs going, “Get the chutney under that stone there. (singing) We make chutney all day… It’s an earwig’s life, ain’t it? Put the chutney in there, there we go.”
And spiders, saying, “Gravy, yes… no problem at all, mate. We’ll make spider gravy, the way spiders like to make it, yes… Put that cube in there… Hold on, Legs… There you go, mate. Can we get the measuring jar back when you’re finished?” It’s very weird!
