Tracing the origin of Thai tea . Thai tea was not always the sweet orange drink we know today. It began as a hot brew in Ayutthaya, before condensed milk, ice and changing tastes transformed it into one of Thailand’s most iconic drinks. . #ThaiTea #ThaiCulture #FoodHistory #ThaiTeaOrigin

Four stings. Four different venoms. Knowing the difference helps you respond calmly and correctly. 🐝 Honeybee (Apis mellifera) — barbed sting, left in the skin. Remove it immediately by scraping sideways with a fingernail or card — do not squeeze, as this injects more venom. Venom: apitoxin. Pain level: moderate. Wasp (Vespula vulgaris / Vespula germanica) — smooth sting, can sting multiple times. The wasp withdraws without leaving the sting. Venom: irritant compounds. Pain level: moderate. European hornet (Vespa crabro) — a robust, thicker sting. The European hornet is a native British species and is legally protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It stings only when its nest is directly threatened — it is notably less aggressive than the common wasp in most garden encounters. Venom: potent neurotoxin. Pain level: intense. Do not destroy nests without a genuine threat reason. Note: the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) is an invasive species now established in some parts of southern England. It is smaller than the European hornet, with a dark body and yellow legs, and poses a threat to honeybee colonies. Any suspected sighting should be reported to the Great British Non-Native Species Secretariat via the iRecord app. Violet carpenter bee (Xylocopa violacea) — curved sting. Stings very rarely and only if physically held. Males have no sting at all. Increasingly recorded in southern England as its range expands northward. Venom: local reaction. Pain level: moderate. For any sting: move away from the area, remove the sting if present, apply a cold compress. If you experience signs of a systemic allergic reaction — difficulty breathing, widespread swelling, dizziness — call 999 immediately. 🌿 #GardenWildlife #BeeIdentification #HornetFacts #WildlifeGardening
The Greens Makerfield candidate, Sarah Wakefield, runs a charity which: Calls for British farming to be “decolonised” with “inclusive spaces.” Shared a report which argued perfectionism is an example of “white supremacy culture.” Every Green candidate is satire come to life.
