Bees show the health of our environment on so many levels. When Notre Dame in Paris burned , we looked on aghast , and the bee keepers on the roof of the ancient cathedral thought the carefully guarded hives on the roof were doomed. But it turns out that the bees were more resilient than we thought and they have survived against all the odds and are peacefully sleeping, waiting, like us all, for the spring.
I wish all our European bees a busy, borderless 2020!

On the day Britain left the EU I thought some European love needed spreading!

Yes! Everywhere seems to be needing more love these days. Spread it on, and I’ll do the same. 🙂💕

I saw that report about the bees on Notre Dame’s roof. I never knew that they were there when I toured it before the fire. I follow the beekeeper on Instagram because of that report.

An interesting article. A plot neighbour keeps hives so I always see honey bees on the plot, even a few at this time of year on sunny days. xx
