Two bits of good news really - Notre Dame is alive and kicking and all the bees have not died out yet.

Thank you DoraMarr just what we need, a bit of good news.

We too were in Paris and were by Notre Dame just before the fire. I found the fire and resulting damage really quite upsetting, so am delighted to learn that the bees have survived and are thriving. ??

That is very good news. My parents used to keep two or three hives in our church grounds as they lived in a terraced house with yard only. They always shared the jars of honey around freely. One elderly lady used to ask them "do you keep a bee?" It really used to tickle them, dad would say Ey lass, the wife has to milk it though! Their old friend a Priest who taught them beekeeping had a complaint from a lady that one of his bees had flown into her garden and stung her! He said, you point the blighter out to me & I'll kill it m'dear!!! grin

This is in today’s guardian:
www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/31/they-survived-fire-and-lead-poisoning-so-what-happened-next-to-notre-dames-bees-aoe
To paraphrase, the bee colony which lives on the roof of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris are alive and well. This made me happy this morning!
