Every year I’m blown away with the temperament of this colony, the calmest gentlest bees I’ve ever known

Windemere Science Festival bee show is going ever so well, if you’re in the lakes this weekend do pop over to the Jetty Museum to see the bumbles!

People often ask me, do bumblebees ever sting? Not usually, their first choice is to show their annoyance by waving. So if you ever see them doing this, back away… slowly 😂

I would like to assure you all, this is definitely just an ordinary rock, nothing suspicious to see here folks

She’s back! Temporary sunshine means the queens that survived winter have woken up and are out looking for snowdrops, delish!

Saw this weird animal on my walk today, made a weird hissing noise, I think that means “Welcome traveller, won’t you come in for a spot of tea and rest your weary bones by my hearth?”

Adjectives to describe Ms Calluna? Demure? Moisturised? In her lane? Other memes from 5-10 years ago?

Collies are very VERY clever dogs, this one is convinced she can hypnotise sheep with her eyes. She’s so clever I believe her. All glory to the hypnodog
