Buy a scale cal weight https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395555451711?

As part of W's buthday pressies, bought her a set of jeweller's scales. Arrived, fine, got the box open, read all the "thou shalt nots" etc then came the bombshell. "To calibrate..." Which involves the presence of a very special 2000 g weight...

Due to the wild boar we have two hunts that pop them off, when they can. They don't exactly decimate the numbers though. So far they haven't bothered our land, but if a vine grower gets them in his land..... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

We get them in Frogland too. Scared the poop out of us when we first saw them as we thort they might have been some awful sort of hornet. Ours aren't quite as long but they are all in black and behave exactly like other bumbly bees.

Don't they just.... some of them.

And down goes the value of old exportable defenders people have been hoarding for export to the yanks.

Cadder lak. Like the ole movies. Corners like a barge and about as long as one.

No more JRL to Merka ferra bit it seems. Merkins will have to do with their own dodgy tat ferra while.. Tangentially, if your avrij swanky Merkin can't now afford a Porch, Merc, Lambo, Furry, Buggi, whatever, is there a viable MAGA alternative?

Is thems imported buzzles? Tarrif free..

Next time that gets asked, praps she could say "one of you gits, I've done my shift..." Dunt peeps just pee you oft...

There's a bit of a buzz about this fred today. Ok, I'll get me coat ----

Dunt think so, the Merkins dunt look after their pollinators like we do ...

UK bumbles live for upto 6 months but queens hibernate and wake to go make noo nests

How does yer know its merkin. Its a uk company selling native british Bobus Terrestris Audax Bumblebees. Web ses they is native to uk. Were they origionally merkin?

Eye is new to bee manufacturing. It ses bumbles live for 3 months ish but give oft new queens that start up their own family. That would create about 6 more bumble families locally.

You can certainly hear them coming, going to a plant and flower sale tomorrow its a 2 day event every year have been meaning to go for the last 10yrs 😂 having a big problem with wild boar at the moment, may be time to get the villages up to leand...

We get them big buggers too. J

Balmoral, like Sandringham, was bought by the royals of the day with their own money. Like many piles belonging to rich peeps all over the UK. So not really fair to knock just theirs down. Tourists come to see the wooden soldiers marching about...
