Off the back of Wild Pollinator Count last month heres a chance to help raise awareness about our bees by submitting a short video of you waggling. Waggling is what Europena bees do to indicate to each other in what direction and how far away the source of flowers are from the hive. Its an amazing inbuilt GPS system that was discovered back in the 1920s. Follow the link below www.worldbeeday.org.au/waggle and you can join in the waggle fun. Whats more catch me tomorrow evening about 7pm AEST and I will walk you through a bit of Waggling in real time and answer any questions you want to know about the event as well as the Wheen Bee Foundation who are supporting this dance mayhem as a fun way to get people aware of bees.

10.01.2022 Sometimes its just the little things... take for example this little spot on Karora Street Beachmere. It was a well worn Short Cut through to the shops and... tavern, the grass wasnt growing and an attempt to rectify via relaying turf wasnt aesthetically pleasing nor an easy route for Beachmeres many mobile impaired residents! Thanks to a phone call from a local resident I was able to identify this eyesore and have in its place a brand new wide footpath, perfect for wheel chairs and mobility scooters! If you know of any areas around you that could do with a bit of a touch up and some love please let me know, Im a huge believer that if council take pride in our area the people will do the same!
