You need to talk to corporates in their language they tell me.
You need to be scientifically serious in tone and language.
You need to be careful not too offend.
Not to scare people
Not to worry people.
You need to be positive not negative.
You can’t be that honest.
You need to filter that. Edit that.
Then it hit me like a bolt as I sit in the bathroom (yeah no filter – I do my best thinking there) one sunny Sunday morning in May watching the shadows of the willow trees just outside the window dance wild and unashamedly on the adjacent wall…
No I need to be me.
For I am The Bee Guy and the project that is World Bee Sanctuary formed in my head.
So it’s in my language.
It’s real.
No filters.
No regrets.
I’d rather that than no bees.
I’ve always had a problem keeping my mouth shut about injustice.
Ever since I was a kid. See something – wrong say it. Why wouldn’t you?
And down this lane, on this farm, in the arsehole of the countryside I started to see injustice all around. And nature was the victim.
Bees were the victims.
So me being me…I started to speak up – for bees and nature.
And people started listening.
Thanking me.
Encouraging me.
And others that should have been speaking up.
Well…they tried to shut me up. Still do.
Yet here I am.
And here we are…
I’m not an environmentalist. Don’t want to be.
I’m a quiet spoken, socially awkward husband and dad.
People tell me I’ve a way with words.
I’m not sure.
But I use them to advocate for bees.
For nature.
For a better future.
For my kids.
What else would a dad do?
So this website may not be your standard one. That’s okay.
And it may not hit the points you need. That’s okay too.
But it will reflect me – and my family’s project.
Our ethos, our capabilities and our journey.
It will be honest and raw and real.
And that’s the best thing we can do on and for this planet right now.
Be real.
Yeah…Be Real.
