The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

Top-Wave-955Some people in this sub are so kind, helpful, and enthusiastic but there’s kind of a large faction of people who are so rude and condescending. It’s a super weird vibe!
Valuable-Self8564It is the way of the internet 🤷‍♂️
Valuable-Self8564Sometimes people have a bad day too. If you see stuff that you think breaks our rules, you can report it to the mods u/Top-Wave-955 :)
IllviljaHi everyone, I have a question for you: what causes bees to get stranded on the beach? And most importantly, will they be okay?
IllviljaI went to the beach this morning, and found several bees stranded on the sand. I picked up all the ones I could find still alive and left them on flowering plants not too far from the beach. I saw some other bees buzzing around, so I assume they had a nest nearby.
IllviljaBy on the beach I mean on the shore, a few got swept away from the water even :'( I hope the ones I saved will be okay..
InOneFowlSoupDid the honey swap this year already happen? Im not in the loop and/or didnt see the post besides the one that was just posted about it 😢
Valuable-Self8564If you didn’t sign up, then you aren’t in it. It was pinned at the top of the subreddit for 2 weeks 😅
