Ditto - but from my brother and his partner - looks pretty interesting actually sort of a beside the toilet book (coffe table book for the twees out there) you can just flick through and read a whole item in one page.
SWMBO bought me a pair of bee cufflinks and 'Beekeeping for dummies' (handy I suppose)

 

[Canary Honey]

Not much protection but cool for the summer.
Sister in law gets credit.

Bee socks, Bee mugs, Bee earrings, candle with bee pictures on it, Bee mat of seeds to encourage bees, and a flower ornament with three loose bees (not real ones) which are supposed to represent wishes. Now what shall I wish for? Peace for the world? One of them super microscopes as above? Both?

chasing the old crafty fox today!!

Popular around here but is absolutely sheeting down and it's 2˚ so anybody with any sense is tucked up at home.

Husband got me some Thorne vouchers so I will fill the bee shed with some supers and frames.
