Okay folks

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…

@DoomsdaysCW Thank you. Sorry I didn’t respond before when you enquired about PayPal. I only managed to get that set up on our website this week. Your support and donation mean so much - genuinely - we kind of fell into this as concerned parents/individuals(not career environmentalists/fundraisers) and have had to learn as we go and have always shied away from asking people for money. It embarrasses and humbles us when people donate and believe in us.

It is on the one hand like rocket fuel to our mission and resilience but also we feel a big obligation to justify and live up to that support. We don’t take it for granted.
We do know our worth and what we could achieve with secure financing behind us - people like me don’t get in the rooms with the decision makers as we don’t do the bullshit and wouldn’t let them away with theirs. And they’ll never allow that. But our influence has been felt by eNGOs in -

But our influence has been felt by eNGOs in@DoomsdaysCW this country at least as we don’t shy away from the hard facts about bees meaning they can’t take the easy safe options any more.
Anyway that was a long winded way to say thank you so much. Sorry for rattling on…

@thebeeguy can someone help me with understanding what to give a bee to rescue it - like from pesticide sprays, dehydration, etc. if it's a honeybee - especially a drone bee?
