Queen British died, to inform bees

As the longest time for British monarchs, the death of Elizabeth II is far -reaching. Not only does the royal personnel have to re -arrange, but even the royal bee must be notified in time.

According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported on the 14th, there are "royal" beekeeping farms in the Multi -official residence of the British royal family. The honey produced here is not only for members of the royal family, but also sold them. The income of honey is usually used for charity. The news of the death of Elizabeth II last week not only passed from Edinburgh, Scotland to all parts of the country, but also to be conveyed to the bee through the "royal beekeeper". "".

This tradition can be traced back to the 18th century. It is believed that if the owner of the bee is not replaced, they will no longer produce honey, leave the honeycomb or even die. After learning that the Queen's death, the 79 -year -old royal beekeeper John Shaper tied a black ribbon with a black ribbon to each royal beehive and gently knocked on the side wall of the beehive box. Leaving people's life, but please don't leave, the new owner will treat you well in the future. "

In British culture, bees are regarded as "the little messenger and servant of God". If the beekeeper's house is a red and white affairs of marriage and funeral, it will be shared with the bee, otherwise they will angered these "servants of God ", Bring doom. According to Sharpur, there are currently 5 beehives in Buckingham Palace, and 2 beehives in the Clarlenus Palace. Every summer, the number of royal bees will reach millions. In the autumn, the number will be reduced to 20,000.

According to British Reuters reports on the 14th, as Charles III was about to move into Buckingham Palace, a total of more than 100 Korances Palace was notified to be layoffs, including male servants, maids, chefs and staff members. It has been serving the Charles for decades. A spokesman for Krarenus Palace said: "Our employees have been loyal to serve, but the layoffs are inevitable. We are trying to seek way for as many people as possible."
