Complete change of job today. New battery cabinet taking shape for the solar electric system

Another blow to HS2 Ltd's so-called "green credentials". #HS2CostingTheEarth #HS2 #StopHS2

It's not all glamour at Lincolnshire Apiaries. Scrapping out old frames is pretty on most bee farmers' most despised jobs

Unless government takes urgent action to reignite a new “dig for Britain” approach, #BrexitFoodShortages will intensify. @LizWebsterLD said, “No farming sector is immune from collapse. We need an urgent Cobra approach to save our food security.” fwi.co.uk/news/farm-poli…

Happy Easter

So not only have WCs managed to shutdown a number of schools due to water shortages over the last few weeks but when our children finally do make it into school day trips are cancelled due to sewage dumping. 😡 The River Kennett is a chalk stream. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

We are in a biodiversity crisis, Louise Haigh. We don’t need a short, parched biological desert at a time where insects & other wildlife are most active. We need rich verges full of wildflowers, insects & all manner of other life. Please leave these verges be until after summer!

🤯 The Conservatives are planning to drop their £11.6bn international climate finance pledge. 🥀 Labour have rowed back on their £28bn 'green industry' pledge. 💚 Only the Green Party are committed to doing what is necessary to tackle the climate crisis AND bring down bills.

Fantastic opportunity to join an exciting new Horizon Europe project called BeeGuards working on honey bee pest and disease modelling in the wonderful Modelling, Evidence and Policy group at Newcastle u University. See jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastle-… and please RT.

Chris Manton Lynne Ingram I think it’s obvious why. They can’t get away with blending honey anymore with inferior imports. Almost every super market honey says blend of EU & NON EU on the packaging.

Gwenyn Gruffydd UK always challenge any tests, saying the tests are inadequate/ unsuitable etc etc. Astonishing too how the UK govt. is always right on this issue, the rest of the world is always wrong, and the 38k tons of Chinese honey we import is never adulterated!

Really enjoying the book, well done Steve & Paul
