This Dementia Action Week, 18 - 24 May 2026 and for World Bee day being on Wednesday, we would like to share some insights into the Forget-me-nots (Myosotis) and how these beautiful tiny flower’s talk to our friends the bees 🐝 💚.

Not only are they excellent for providing a vital early-season source of nectar and pollen. They are especially good for solitary bees, bumblebees, and honey bees.

One of the most fascinating facts about forget-me-nots is how they communicate with bees using color 💙💛🤍!
If the flower has a Yellow centre 💛 This acts as a “HELLO I’m open” sign, telling bees the flower is unpollinated and full of nectar.
If it’s a White centre, this shows a bee has visited and pollinated the flower, the yellow ring fades to white.

This then signals to other bees that the flower is “empty,” helping them save energy by only visiting flowers that are younger and have the attractive yellow centre.

Absolutely 👍 beemazing 💙🐝🤍💛

Another interesting fact is that the HorseChestnut Tree also has a similar traffic light system to talk to the bees 🐝. They don’t turn white but red 🛑 👍❌🔥.

It’s great outside, go and take a closer look 👀 👍 by @me_weydon

Weydon School UK just proved how awesome they are and how powerful one tiny micromission can be. ✨

A lolly stick. A few kind words. A ripple that might reach someone exactly when they need it.

This is #OperationLollyStick. Write it. Share it. Leave it for someone to find.

“You are loved.”
“You shine.”
“You are amazing.”

Small acts. Big ripples.
Who’s trying this next?
🫵🏽 + M.E = Better World

#BrinsdenBees #weydonbees @me_weydon @weydon_school 💚 Last week during our club, we went to check on the Brinsden Bee swarm, they are doing really well and needed to be placed in the larger brood box, in the WBC hive. The frames contained pollen from many different spring flowers, our favorite was the beautiful red pollen from the Horse Chestnut tree or possibly the Purple Dead-nettle.

Being able to
Identify the yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) is really important and crucial, because it is a highly invasive species that poses a severe threat to our honeybees, native pollinators, and biodiversity in the U.K.

Why do we need to know? 1. Protection of Pollinators:They are aggressive predators, with honeybees making up to 40% of their diet, which can lead to a 30% reduction in local bee colonies.
2.Invasive Species Control:
They have no natural predators in the UK and Europe, allowing them to spread rapidly and damage local ecosystems.
3.Preventing Establishment:
Immediate, verified reports allow for rapid destruction of nests by authorities, such as DEFRA in the UK, to prevent them from becoming permanently established.

How to Identify and Report:
As our eco-ambassadors said :- They are smaller than the native European hornet, with a dark body, a single orange-yellow band on the abdomen, and legs that look like they have been dipped in yellow paint or wearing yellow wellies.
How to Report: Use the Asian Hornet Watch app or look on https://www.bbka.org.uk/identify-report-asian-hornet #micromissonearthyouth #weydonbees #ecoambassadors taken in Weydon School by @me_weydon

Our UK honey bees swarm around April (early spring). This month is prime season for our bees to be looking for new 🏠.

Here’s what’s going on:

1. Colony growth explodes in spring.
As flowers start 🌸blooming, nectar 🍯and pollen 💪🏻become abundant. The queen lays a lot more eggs, and the hive population rapidly increases. By April, the colony can get rather crowded.

2. Swarming is how bees reproduce (as a colony).
A swarm isn’t aggression—it’s basically 🏡🧳🪴a “moving day.”
The old queen leaves the hive with a large group of worker bees to start a new colony, while a new queen stays behind in the old hive (Queen cells are made).

3. Weather conditions are ideal
Spring temperatures are warm enough for bees to fly but not too hot. There’s also plenty of food available, which is crucial for a newly forming colony.

The swarm seen yesterday did look alarming, but swarming bees are usually quite calm—they’re focused on finding a new home, not stinging and their tummies are so full of 🍯 ready to rebuild their new home as it is used to produce wax. #Weydonbees #BrinsdenColony 💚💛💚 #earthday2026

here’s what to do if you come across a bee swarm:

🐝 First, don’t panic

Even though it looks intense, swarming bees are usually calm and non-aggressive. They’ve just left their hive and are focused on finding a new home and staying with their Queen 👑 .

🚶‍♂️ Keep your distance

Give them space—about 5–10 meters if possible.
Avoid:

* Swatting at them
* Making loud vibrations (like hitting the branch they’re on)
* Letting pets get too close
*
🏠 Don’t try to move them yourself

It’s tempting, but swarms can shift suddenly. Without proper gear, you risk getting stung.

📞 Call a local beekeeper

A good place to start is the British Beekeepers Association—they have a swarm collection service and can connect you with someone nearby. by @me_weydon

Step it up with TODAY’S MICROMISSION

Notice something small someone did for you.

It could be:

Holding a door.
Replying quickly.
Cleaning up.
Just being there.

Acknowledge it out loud.

“That helped.”
“I appreciate that.”
“Thanks for doing that.”

That’s it.

Type ⚡ when it’s done. taken in Farnham, Surrey, UK by @me_weydon
