Forum Topic

Why is about 90% of this forum..

So negative?!Let's talk about postive subjects too?!I guess we could start with how people have given/experienced an act of kindness towards them or stranger just because they saw they needed help; businesses opening and (hopefully) thriving again; people who had the virus/other illnesses who are on the mend; folk who lost jobs/work and income getting back into employment; funny animal stories; babies being born; simple pleasures of buying something for your home which brings you joy; seeing a great friend again; planning a celebration; reaching a milestone etc....ANYTHING as long as it's not a mundane and a depressing post about something minor that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things and what has been happening in the past few months.Thank you and goodnight

The bees in my garden just carry on being bees. I love them!

Andy Riley ● 2301d

Don't know what shops expectant new mums shop in but both Aldi and Lidl have an extensive range of baby clothes and equipment at very good prices.

My foxes carry on being foxes, only more so.

A while back we saw a video on how to save dying bees by feeding them sugar-water. We have revived several bees in our garden this way since then. Happy days!

We always find something new and interesting on our walks.Yesterday it was the larva and pupa of the harlequin ladybird on a lime tree in the park.  Would you recognise them?We also walked past a mulberry tree in a garden - the fallen fruit gave it away.  Why is the nursery rhyme about a mulberry bush and not a tree and why do silkworms only eat the leaves of the white mulberry?We also saw some interesting house extensions - some good and some bad.  Some lovely gardens and some that need some TLC too.  Wish more people made more of an effort - and that means me.

Remind us how to do that Bina.  Is a saucer of diluted sugar in water the simple answer?  Where can you buy a bee hotel?

Jennifer Selig ● 2301d

Yes just sugar in water. We feed them with little flatfronted ice-cream spoons that the bees find easy to access but a little saucer would work I'm sure.This is a nice video on bee hotelshttps://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/maintain-the-garden/types-of-bee-hotel/
