Take a moment.

#pause

Go do some #good.
Have the best week you can.
If you’re not having a good week - tell someone.
And if someone tells you -
Listen.
Really #listen.

Sorry to ask. Genuinely.
We never have before.
We wouldn’t ask now if we didn’t need to.
Thanks for reading.
Have a good night folks.

…this tough period.

We hate…literally hate asking…we’re proud people… but we’ll swallow that pride as #bees, #nature and the #mission is and are too important, too vital, for pride to get in the way.

So if you want us here doing what we do, on the ground, on your feed, bringing…

…this full-time. This ain’t a side-hustle. We’re all in.
Over the years we have refused tainted offers of funding which would have compromised what we stand for. Easy dirty money.

So…we need you to step up for us and #bees now. To keep us going and independent during…

…machinery which we use to maintain the sanctuary is mostly broken due to age and wear and tear and the relentless rain so far this year has undermined part of our entrance driveway meaning we have been unable to welcome visitors to the sanctuary…so no income.
We do…

But (there’s always a but!) due to a perfect storm of unfortunate events we now find ourselves facing the prospect of not being able to keep paying the bills/keep open beyond the end of this month.
A source of funding we have been working to secure has let us down, our…

We’ve thrown everything we have and more at it to keep it going. We’ve suffered for it. And that’s okay because we don’t do this because it’s easy we do it because it’s hard. We understand the commitment required. We’re not complaining. We’re up for it like no one else…
5/10

… (your feedback tells us this) ensuring that these wonderful, vital, but endangered creatures are represented and better understood in your hearts and minds.
We’ve worked at this 24/7, 365 full-time since 2017 and have been protecting this land for nature since 2012.
4/10

…unafraid to call out bad actors no matter where they operate (often within the environmental NGO space).
This has led to us being ostracised and monitored by many within this space. We’ve persevered regardless impacting across the globe on behalf of #bees and #nature…
3/10

We’ve led the way as the first true sanctuary on the planet dedicated to Native Wild Bees. A #vegan #organic #wild oasis in the midst of a landscape devastated from a #nature perspective.
We’ve been at the same time both brutally and beautifully honest in our messaging…

Okay folks.
I have an ask.
We need your support here at World Bee Sanctuary to keep going. To keep doing what we do for #bees #nature #people and the #planet.

Please take the time to read this thread.
We need you to.
Thanks.

NEED TO KNOW:

There are over 20,000 species of bees across the planet.

Around 90% of these bee species are Solitary Bees.

40% of bee species are endangered.

There are only 8 honey bee species.

Honey bees are not endangered. There are more honey bees on the planet now than at any time in human history.

Keeping hives of domesticated honey bees does not ‘save’ endangered native wild bees - it can make things worse for them.

‘Oh, what a beautiful Mornin'
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I've got a beautiful feelin'
Everything's goin' my way...

All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
An' a ol' weepin' willer is laughin' at me…’

And the #rain has paused!!!!

Mornin’ folks.

Bird migration observation sites in Europe have documented #bumblebee queen ‘mass-migration events’ (usually in Springtime) indicating that bumblebees are able to migrate over larger distances than previously thought.

Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep.

If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?’

Male #bumblebees can’t #sting - even if they wanted to!
They don’t have a stinger.
All females (queens and workers) develop a stinger but the equivalent part of the body in males develops into the genital capsule.
Ouch!

Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes…’

Would that dreams drift gentle upon your rest like snowflakes pure in the wintry still dark…
