Give bees a chance

* We are honoured to have been invited to collaborate with bonobo.tv in their vital campaign to save the bees. Without bees and other pollinators, our lives, and those of other Earthlings, would be in serious jeopardy. Pollinators such as bees, butterflies, moths, birds and bats help plants reproduce. Whilst foraging for nectar they transfer pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers.…

Teachers’ wages needed in time for early school closure due to Ebola lockdown

They don’t complain, but they have to…

Lockdowns more feared than Ebola

This must first be prepared by our cook in the little kitchen which she’s very glad now has a roof 😀 First, her helpful son makes a fire…
