Someone had to tell the bees about Queen Elizabeth II's death. Seriously. 🐝
“I’m at the hives now and it is traditional when someone dies that you go to the hives and say a little prayer and put a black ribbon on the hive,” Chapple told theHe tied a black ribbon and bow around each hive, two at Clarence House and five at Buckingham Palace. Each hive contains an estimated 20,000 bees. “The tradition is you tap gently on the hive and say your mistress or master is dead but your new master will be good to you so treat him well,” the expert explained.
The tradition dates back centuries and spawned the phrase “tell it to the bees.” Those who kept bees used to believe that the insects needed to be told about important events — such as births, deaths, marriages or any incoming or outgoing household members — otherwise the bees would be distressed and leave their hive or stop producing honey.
He gently told the creatures that Charles is their new master. “You knock on each hive and say, ‘The mistress is dead, but don’t you go. Your master will be a good master to you,'” the beekeeper said. Elizabeth died on Thursday, September 8, after over 70 years as reigning sovereign. Her eldest son, 73,“It is my most sorrowful duty to announce you to the death of my beloved mother, the queen,” the regent said on Saturday while addressing the accession council at St. James’ Palace. “I know how deeply you, the entire nation —and I think I may say the whole world — sympathize with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered.
