Bees? BEES!
Jan 4, 2026 · 2 minute readTurns out that a great way of spending a Sunday morning is coming up with different games for coloured wooden bees. So far we have:
- Bee fight for their correct colours in the hive
- Drop bees from big height and see if they get into a hive hole (quite rare)
- Divebombing bees
- Bee Swarm On Daddy
- Bees Kiss
Bees: surprisingly versatile!
Off to Atlanta next week, which means updates here for a week or two might be sparse, but you did get the first tech blog of the year on Friday. I have a vague plan this year for making my blogging setup work remotely again, but part of that involves upgrading Hugo…and that has never really gone well for me in the past, so I am putting it off as a ‘later in the year’ thing.
UPDATE: so, I saw this on Monday
I am more and more convinced that right-wingers are like this because they surround themselves with sociopaths to the point they don't know when they're broken inside because they're the same as the people they are regularly around.

I remain astounded at these people, who seem to have no joy in their heart at all. You can’t tell me that there was a better way to spend that hour on Sunday than with Maeryn and her wooden bees. What would I be doing instead? What on earth would be better than watching her laugh when I did a bee divebombing run into her tummy, or when she playfully put all the bees in the wrong coloured holes to get a rise out me? I don’t want to be part of their RETVRN world.
