I did not know about the bees...........

It's that season again already. If you are looking to enjoy a display, please support your local organised event. This is far safer for your family and your neighbours. Keepers of animals can be prepared and help their animal companions better if they know when fireworks are going to be happening. Families with people with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, PTSD can be prepared rather than when there are random fireworks being let off across multiple days/weeks from all directions which can be extremely terrifying.

It's wonderful that there are now quieter fireworks available, let's hope for a move towards their use or silent ones if that is ever going to be possible. 🙏

Happy Summer Solstice, AKA Mid-summer's day

CELEBRATE THE LIGHT – HAPPY SOLSTICE

"The Solstices are a time to stop, and to look back on where the half-yearly cycle has brought you; a chance to look forward and see the direction in which the next half yearly cycle may lead you; a moment to be conscious of your life’s flow and direction; a time to express your hopes and fears, your intentions; to assimilate your learning and celebrate your achievements; a time to celebrate the light; a time to celebrate the dark; a moment to be conscious of the way this waxing and waning of the Sun affects our lives, and to celebrate this influence and what it means to us."

"But more than this, it is an acknowledgment of the coming return of the dark.
Here we are called upon to value the power of the dark cycle as a necessary part of the whole, to celebrate its rich potency, its nurturing and receptive nature, and see it as a gift, vital to us all and to the Earth. Amidst the revelries of high summer, take a moment to acknowledge the equilibrium and balance this brings, and celebrate this too." Glennie Kindred, 𝙎𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨

Summer solstice, Midsummer, Litha, is a time to celebrate the light and the dark, the constant changing of the seasons, and how we are deeply connect to Earth's cycles.

Happy solstice to you all. We hope you can take time in your day to connect to the light and to the earth.

Bee amazed

DID YOU KNOW?

🐝There are live enzymes in honey.

🐝When in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die.

🐝The best way to eat honey is with wooden or plastic spoon.

🐝Honey contains a substance that helps your brain work better.

🐝Honey is one of the rare foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.

🐝One teaspoon of honey is enough to sustain human life for 24 hours.

🐝Propolis that bees produce, is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics

🐝Honey has no expiration date.

🐝The bodies of the great emperors of the world were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent putrefaction.

🐝The term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that newlyweds consumed honey for fertility after the wedding.

🐝A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

🐝One of the first coins had a bee symbol on it.

Deep gratitude to the humble BEE!🐝

take care of your bees....please

Bees are the most important living beings on the Planet..

After a debate by scientists at the Royal Geographical Society, the Earthwatch Institute declared bees as the most important living beings on the planet.

Bees (Clade: Anthophila): These insects and important Pollinators are suffering badly with populations recorded as much as 30% lower in some regions in recent years. Bees are closely related to wasps and ants. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine recognised families, many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

When you see this remove it, before it takes over your neighbourhood!!!

Stinknet is an invasive w**d that can crowd out native plants and becomes a fire hazard in summer. Right now, it's spreading in Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties.

Learn what you can do to stop its spread at https://extension.arizona.edu/stinknet-invasion?publication=20240405&utm_campaign=University+of+Arizona+Cooperative+Extension&utm_content=Stinknet+is+an+invasive+w&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.

Stinknet is sometimes called globe chamomile and is a member of the sunflower family and can grow more than 2 feet tall. It has carrot-like leaves and spherical yellow flower heads that have many tiny flowers. If you crush the leaves, it has a pungent, turpentine-like smell.

It's adapted to a wide variety of habitats including back yards, around desert fivers, urban sidewalk cracks and many other places. It grows through the winter and usually flowers between February and June.

Be careful when you remove stinknet, especially when it becomes dried out and full of seeds. Bag the w**d carefully to contain the seeds. Clean shoes, clothing and equipment that has come in contact with the plant.
