Buloke Times editorial: Bees and wasps
When we were young, very young, the only flying, stinging insect we had to be afraid of (apart from the odd mosquito) was the bee. But the bee provided honey for our toast and crumpets, and we readily put up with the sting. Especially was this so, because we knew that the honey bee, once tormented enough to attack a human being, left its sting in the victim, and went away to die. (The fate of the victim, of course, depended on its susceptibility to bee stings.)

Kids’ visit brings good cheer
Thirteen children braved a foggy winter’s morning last week and walked from Corryong Pre-school to Mittamatite Lodge Residential Aged Care to meet with residents. They gave each resident a very cheery hello before settling in for morning tea, a spot of colouring-in and some good old-fashioned conversation.
