Vanessa, I was thinking when you mentioned the ladybird, my thoughts went to bees 🐝 and you might maybe like this video (I hope it is ok to share a YouTube link here?). It’s a musical tale sharing the folklore that believes if you tell the beehive colony when the owner of the hives dies or a new heir is born, then the colony will go on. If you don’t then the queen will either leave or die and the colony will die. The band is an amazing band, I have met them all and find them so inspiring, lovely and kind. They are a progressive rock band but don’t let that put you off, such intelligent and beautiful people who sing about all sorts from Hedgerows, lees, butterflies, the lost rivers of London, mud larking, Winchester and the man who saved the cathedral when he used a diving suit to repair the flooded foundations to a tribute to the men who died digging the Severn tunnel and the unsung heroes of the the engine Mallard when it broke the world steam speed record… anyway this is “Telling the bees” by Big Big Train, sorry for the plug but my intention was to share this song (I have ADHD and I tend to get excited about a topic or go off on a tangent …sorry once again lol)
Take good care xx ❤
