Now is the perfect time to spot new bumblebee queens 👑

🌷 At this time of year, new bumblebee queens can be seen feeding on flowers to build up body fat to hibernate over winter.

❄️ If there are still lots of food available, some queens might skip their winter hibernation and establish a nest this year.

🏡 If you see queens with full pollen baskets then there is probably a nest somewhere nearby.

The bumblebee queen checklist:
⬆️ Much larger than males and workers
🍬 Appear 'fresh out of the wrapper' with neat hair and shiny wings
🔔 Often have a louder, deeper buzz due to their larger size
🧺 Have pollen baskets (shiny, flattish segments) on their hind legs

Have you spotted a new bumblebee queen recently?

🌑 The Black Moon Is Coming! 🌑

On the nights of August 22–23, the sky will host a rare Black Moon, an event that occurs only once every 33 months.

🔭 What is a Black Moon?

A Black Moon is the second new moon in the same calendar month. Since the Moon is in its new phase, it becomes almost invisible, leaving the night sky darker than usual.

✨ Why is it special?
• The absence of moonlight allows stargazers to enjoy breathtaking views of the Milky Way, star clusters, and faint meteors.
• It’s a rare opportunity for astrophotographers to capture the sky in exceptional clarity.
• Missing this one means waiting nearly three years for the next Black Moon.

📅 Best Time to Watch
• Dates: August 22–23, 2025
• Where: Anywhere with dark, open skies far from city lights
• Best Viewing: Around midnight, when the sky is at its darkest

👉 Mark your calendars and get ready for one of the most unique celestial events of the year! 🌌

Wow how interesting 😊👍

Did you know your shower could double as a spa?
🌿🚿✨ Just hang a bunch of fresh eucalyptus from your showerhead, crank up the hot water, and let the steam work its magic…

Here’s what happens:
💨 The steam activates the eucalyptus oils, filling the air with healing vapours.
These gorgeous green leaves release natural plant compounds like eucalyptol, which can help with:

🌬️ Decongestion
🌿 Headaches
🔥 Inflammation
🧘 Stress relief
💪 Muscle tension

Aromatherapy is one of the oldest forms of self-care in the world.
From ancient temples to sacred baths, herbal steam rituals have been used for centuries to calm the body, clear the mind, and uplift the spirit.
This is plant medicine the way it’s meant to be — simple, soothing, and straight from nature.

So next time you shower…
Skip the chemicals. Embrace the leaves.
🌿💚🌧️ Let the steam rise and your tension melt away.

Because you deserve rituals that feel as good as they are ancient.
