 natural susceptibility of surviving stocks, with the intent that non-chemical control strategies be employed in the future to prevent development of pesticide dependence/resistance/contamination.
Suggest continued regular monitoring of varroa levels in domestic/feral bee populations to attempt identification of effective integrated pest management methods, including screening for genetic diversity and disease prevalence as well as exotic pest introductions. The development of apicultural training programs for both new/old beekeepers and public service personnel should be a priority for government and international agencies, with the hope of rebuilding the industry.CANTERBURYS PAST GREAT SNOWSTORMS.

I was just wondering if the frequency of snow falls has changed over the years for Canterbury?
Ditto. I binge watch Hoarders, and feel “normal” by comparison. 

The only time I felt like decluttering was a couple of weeks ago, when I tested + for COVID and briefly considered that I might die from it and be found in a mess. 

 Start decluttering now, and arrange for a regular check-in call to make sure your pets are OK. My hermit brother was not found till 10 days after he passed at home, in a small gated HOA community. His total stuff would fit in one of my closets; I’m glad he had no pets.

“Our audience? They’re influencers”, says BritMums co-founder Susanna Scott, who, in eight years, has built up the UK’s largest collection of parenting lifestyle bloggers and digital influencers alongside co-founder Jennifer Howze.
Founded in 2008, BritMums aims to fuel the country’s influential social content. Its 8,000-strong network represents more than 15,000 blogs, which cover a variety of topics, including home and design, reviews, parenting tips and school-run networks.
As well as the blogging network, BritMums has successfully expanded into events. It runs BritMums Live, the UK’s biggest annual real world blogger and social media conference and Brilliance in Blogging, an annual social media awards programme.
Susanna Scott, co-founder, editor and MD of BritMums, launched the social network after a career in marketing. She wanted to “create a space” for parent bloggers to network and share ideas and opportunities.
Eight years since launching, both Scott and Howze find BritMums blogs much more professional, with more social and mobile activity. “It’s an exciting time”, Howze explains. “Content is constantly improving. You now get the millennial mums, as well as the more established older parents, all contributing.”
Great talk on how parent blogging has evolved from @AModernMother @jhowze. Location wasn't too shabby either @britishmuseum #gorkanabritmums

BritMums’ core aims have stayed the same. It’s a space for mums and dads to find their voices. “It still brings niches of people together who have the same interests to talk about”, Scott says.
Howze describes the BritMums community as being “bound together” by the shared experiences of being a parent. And it’s not just about babies. It’s about children of all ages, as well as other issues, experiences and dilemmas that parents go through.
What’s more, BritMums are influencers. The community is not just blogging anymore. They’re vlogging, they’re on social, they’re identifying the latest trends, they want to monetize what they offer and they’re looking to partner with brands which can connect with their mindset.
"The parenting bloggers we like to feature have a distinct voice, they may be controversial, but they're always fresh" #GorkanaBritMums

In an exclusive breakfast briefing, chaired by Philip Smith, head of news and content at Gorkana, at The British Museum, Scott and Howze identified six key things they thought PRs needed to know about the UK’s largest collection of parenting influencers.
Dad bloggers are seen as the “rock stars” of the BritMums community
More fathers are blogging, Howze. Some have since gone on to take on brand ambassadorship roles since joining the network. Because it’s a smaller niche, it’s easier for them to distinguish themselves. If anyone is thinking of starting a dad-blog, now is the time – especially if they consider themselves “hip daddy bloggers with beards”.
