One thing must be said. I am incredible proud of Mamamoo. Not only as fan but also as a woman!

Go check out the lyrics for… BASICALLY EVERY SONG OF MAMAMOO! They empowered women a lot in their songs and it’s the same with Egotisitc.

Mamamoo isn’t a group that tries to be successful with their songs.

Mamamoo is successful BECAUSE of their songs!

*******PLEASE DON’T LEAVE DISHES OF SUGAR WATER OUT*******

Post from a beekeeper

Oh dear - I keep hearing tips about leaving bowls of sugar water out to “help” keep bees hydrated. Please, please, please DON’T. Bees are really good at finding what they need and there are so many reasons not to do this. The MOST IMPORTANT reason is that if you within 3 miles of some hives (and most people are) if the bees find the sugar water they’re going to think its a great source of easy food, go back to the hive and recruit more bees to come and collect the “food” and before you know it you’ll have 1.000s and 1,000s of bees descending on your garden/balcony - a very scary sight. This is known as robbing and as beekeeper I’ve seen this a couple of times - once started it is impossible to stop until the source of the “food” has gone.

Other reasons not to do this are - sugar water is essentially “junk” food for bees. Its full of carbohydrates which will give them an energy burst, but has no other nutritional value unlike the food they should be having i.e. nectar.

Honey bees will store this as honey in the hive. The beekeeper unknowingly may end up extracting and selling this as honey later in the year. You don’t want to buy sugar syrup and the beekeeper doesn’t want to be prosecuted for selling a product which isn’t honey.

This is also an easy food source for social wasps.

By all means give a tired bee a drink of sugar water on a spoon, but please don’t leave it out for them.

If you want to help bees there are lots of ways you can do this from planting nectar rich plants or leaving out bowls of water with gravel/small pebbles in so they can access the water which they would be very grateful for.

PLEASE SHARE THIS AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS

Edited - It appears that a lot of the advice I have seen about leaving out sugar water stems from advice from DAVID ATTENBOROUGH. He was absolutely right in his advice, but his advice was if you see a struggling bee to put some sugar water where the bee could reach it - not to leave out bowls of sugar water. Unfortunately it seems like, as usual, media publications have misquoted advice and not done their research

Also please don’t feed bees honey. Surprisingly they don’t eat honey - they eat nectar. Honey bees make honey for their own use during the winter months, but bumble bees collect and use nectar as and when they need it.

Feeding honey can spread disease between bees.

please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. there are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

Sylvia Plath (via spacebetweenthespaces)

Please don’t put me in a box. I have days when I don’t smile. When my anxiety drives me into a corner in tears and fear. Days where the thought of going outside makes me feel like throwing up. Times when I panic and make irrational decisions, which can hurt me in the end. I try to live life with kindness and love, but some days I can’t even muster enough kindness and love for myself. When my parents tells me my arm looks hideous because of the tattoos, I can’t tell them that it’s my self-love self-care. When people tell me I’m a rebel because of my piercings and tattoos, I don’t tell them I can’t bear to push a blade into my beautifully painted skin anymore. My kindness is not a sign I wear on my back telling you to take advantage of me. My love is not meant for a moment’s time to be thrown back at me when you’re done. I bleed red too.
