Why are the bees leaving their hives ?

Posted under Blogroll, Fun Stuff

As many of you know I do a little bit of work for a local HE college and the Buzz words for this year are ‘embedding numeracy’ – much to the horror of many students and a fair number of staff as well. It’s EVERYWHERE!!

I’ve just heard this story on the Steve Wright show and have found a link to the full story if anyone would like to have a read. Apparently Bees are BEEING TAUGHT TO COUNT in order to obtain nectar!!! No wonder they are vacating their hives in large numbers to hopefully find pastures new – although I have witnessed quite a few just dropping dead on the walkways in Townley recently – which is perhaps understandable if they have taken on board that they may need to count to more than four in future in order to be fed!

Poor Bees!!

Comments and emails always welcome.

Thanks for reading – much love n stuff – Julie xx

Thought for the Day ….

Posted under Fun Stuff, Happiness

 ” …. if it isn’t fun – it’s not worth doing “  – actually I’m quoting that lovely guy from the band Kajagoogoo – I think his name is Limall.  In a recent interview he said he’s realised that at his age he must choose to do things he will enjoy – I AGREE!!

In the spirit of enjoyment I am starting a new fun project to find my name in many different formats. The first for today is my Pirate Name – ‘Sea Monkey Mary’ – HOW FUN IS THAT THEN?? BRILL – everyone giggles when I tell them  – especially my Tuesday evening group of trainee teachers.  If you fancy looking your other names up then check out an Australian site that has collected load of links for everything under the sun.

Happy Naming

Love n Stuff
