It’s easy to emphasise our disconnectedness, especially at times such as these. But with all the language we have heard about isolation and distance, we find hope in our recognition of one another’s humanity. When I overhear people talking, they talk about the same things. The same turns of phrase, the same anxieties, the same observations being made about the world. Yes, there are differences of opinion. Yes, we have different lifestyles. But some experiences we all share. We share a world. We share fear. And we share the possibility of hope. For some of us, physical isolation is no new thing. A downturn in health may lead us to find our social world shrinking… but also enlarging. Because when we can’t get out and meet face to face, we look to other ways of connecting. And there you find others also needing to reach out, others in need of comfort and company. You might discover someone who has been waiting for you to walk into their world. Someone who needs that light you carry inside you. You may love the digital world and all it offers. You may find it daunting. You may emphasise its strengths; you may focus on its weaknesses. It’s a human construct so, of course, it has both! As we have been looking to reach out to one another, we may have needed to push ourselves out of our comfort zones, to exercise wisdom in new arenas. And those arenas need us. For if the wise, the thoughtful and the loving do not walk into a room, how can that room be transformed or be the best place it can be? As we look to ensure that people do not feel alone, we look to find the healthiest and safest ways of practising connection and community. This may mean getting things wrong. It may mean imperfect solutions (but aren’t they all just a little bit imperfect and messy? After all, we are all human.) We are called to love. To show love to one another and our world. We may need to get a bit creative. To make a bigger effort. To work out what is helpful to one person and not to another. To vary our ways of communicating depending on another’s needs and skills. For some, for example, digital communication is the ‘perfect imperfect solution’. For others it is impractical, unhelpful and frightening and they have needed you to pick up the phone or talk through a window. For many, it will be somewhere in between. Let’s take advantage of our tools of communication but keep things as simple as possible, so that we don’t exclude people. 2 Love is the key. How are we showing love to one another? This isn’t about being the most impressive, the most streamlined, or even the most efficient. It is about being the most loving. How can we love our neighbours – all of them, all those connections we make in our varied lives – in the most genuine, respectful and helpful way possible? Lord, teach us to love teach us to show compassion stir our hearts and transform our minds to see how we can shine your light into the murkiest, most muddled places in our world. Amen. Your sincere friend and parish priest, SOLUTION ON PAGE 41 SOLUTION ON PAGE 3 Changing world, changing Church “Things won’t be the same afterwards.” “We will have to get used to a new normal.” With those, and many similar expressions, we all realise that COVID-19 has changed everything. One statistic that struck me just yesterday (I write on the last day of April) was that more Americans have died so far of this dreadful disease than in the two decades of the Vietnam War. By the time you read this, that figure will be much higher. Similarly, we are seeing far too many people taken from us, not least in care homes. And we know that, whatever relaxation is applied to the lockdown, severe restrictions must remain for some time to come. Things won’t get back to pre-COVID “normal” for the foreseeable future. That applies to the Church as much as to the world. During these strange last few weeks, we have had to learn to do things differently. Many of our clergy have been wonderfully creative in enabling worshippers to carry on with corporate worship in different ways. Many have been particularly good in enabling the ‘poorest’ (those without computers, smartphones or internet) to access worship. Well done to them. We just don’t know how long this will last – when we can get back to anything like the old “normal” in our church buildings. I hope – and I have some evidence for this – that this situation is forcing important questions to be asked (and even answered). What is essential for corporate worship? How can we ‘do church’ in our homes? How can we be the Church without the building? How can we best support the ‘poorest’ or the ‘weakest’ among us? It would be good if those questions lead to permanent changes, as well as temporary ones. That final question, about the ‘poorest’ and the ‘weakest’, relates very much to the world, as well as the Church. The financial cost of this coronavirus will be immense. We should be campaigning, and doing all we can, to ensure that the burden falls heaviest on those most able to afford it. That is the Christian way.

  • The Survival of Bees and the Future of Our World
    4 CUSTOMIZED BEES eFore we DoMeStiCateD bees a couple of thousand years ago, we encountered them in B our role as hunter-gatherers. Although the point was not to hunt wild bees, gathering their honey was somehow linked to the dangers of hunting. Then we progressed to cultivating the land and rearing cat- tle, and also began to establish bee colonies near our dwellings. The oldest examples of beekeeping are probably from the Middle East; in Europe, bee- keeping first really took off in the Middle Ages. It is difficult to say how and when the breeding of bees first had an impact on humans or even which bees were preferred. But these tended animals with a sting in their tails could be neither tethered nor confined when honey was harvested, so it is fairly safe to pre- sume that beekeepers early on dreamed of how nice it would be if their honey producers could be a bit more cooperative. 59 More Than Honey A lot of things to do with beekeeping are unique—they cannot be trans- ferred to other animals and cannot be compared to the breeding of other livestock. After all, a queen is not a huge mammal but a small insect, who in the course of its life has not half a dozen descendants (like a cow) or hundreds (like a sow) but millions of them. But still, a number of breeding principles apply, irrespective of the animal group. In the professional rearing of bees, the term means more than just the breeding of offspring, it means controlled propagation in pursuit of quite spe- cific breeding goals of genetic remodeling.

D'autres épisodes de 4, 5 mortalité ont été signalés en Asie et en Égypte sans être pour le moment formellement associés au CCD. Ce phénomène affecte par contrecoup la production apicole dans une grande partie du monde où cette espèce a été introduite. Aux États-Unis, il fut d'abord appelé « syndrome de disparition des abeilles » ou bien « Fall- 6 Dwindle Disease » (maladie du déclin automnal des abeilles) , avant d'être renommé CCD. Le phénomène prend la forme de ruches subitement vidées de presque toutes leurs abeilles, généralement à la sortie de l'hiver, plus rarement en pleine saison de butinage (en).

I have some from much earlier taken by David Kemp, when that wooden fence was a perfectly manicured hedge. Very nice apiary looks pristine, what hives are they. Where on the grounds was the apiary. I see a bit of stone wall in one photo. Are the bee boles located in that wall. I think the apiary is Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey the north of the conference centre car park - the area I've highlighted on the satellite image. This time with attachment!!! Repwoc said:. Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm intrigued by the ramps leading up to the entrances of the Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey. A sort of ground to entrance landing board. Anyone have any information about them and why Br. Adam used them? I can't recall them being mentioned in any of his books.
