Asian Hornet Week

This hornet could decimate our pollinators including our honeybees so it is important to have everyone actively looking for it.. 

This is the time of year when Asian hornets start hawking honeybees at hive entrances. Autumn is typically when nests are revealed as a result of leaf fall from trees and bushes and this is the last chance we will have to prevent the emergence of new Asian hornet queens

Digital Cleanup Day

In the digital world, similar to the environment, there is a huge amount of trash.
Unnecessary emails, files, apps, duplicates of photos and videos are all digital waste. 

This digital waste continues to consume energy even when we have forgotten it. It sits in the backups on servers that provide us with cloud service and continue consuming electricity.
