Weekly time for plants' soap water spraying! I sprayed first set of them, then taking a little break while waiting them to dry in the bathroom. As I sat on the couch, I started to hear this super loud buzzing sound from the window.

I took a closer look and there was SO HUGE BEE inside the house! I have never seen 1. that big bee and 2. bee overall. They are rather rare, more or less. Wasps and bumble bees are more common in this area.

I have NO IDEA where or HOW it had got in since there's no any way it could have come in! Windows and doors are closed, walls and windows are so freaking well isolated that there's no holes etc.

I grabbed huge glass and paper, saying to the bee I'm helping her, wishing she would fly inside the glass herself since I don't want to hurt it. I pushed glass gently towards her, held it still and watched how she flew in the glass by herself! :D I covered the glass' opening with paper, told her again I'm rescuing her, taking her out, adding she can rest a while while I take her out. She instantly stopped panicking in the glass, landing to REST!

I carefully took her out, removing the paper. I placed the opening near one of my flower, saying she is free to go now. She rested a bit longer before taking off carefully. I wished her all the best as I watched her go.

Naturally, since this was so unexpected and something which has never happen to me before, I checked bee's spiritual meaning. About dead bee it says the following (I found tiny dead bumble bee from the front door, outside, the other day): "Finding a dead Bee means some threat in your life is over. Prepare for better times ahead. Alternatively, a dead bee may represent your tendency to overwork, neglecting family and friends in the process. It is a reminder to “stop and smell the roses,” so to speak."

Living bee (in the house): "If the bee is discovered in the kitchen or on a windowsill, it is thought to be a sign that good things are on their way. Some people believe that having a bee in your house means you should venture outside of your comfort zone – in fact, you should because that is where true fulfillment and happiness may be found."

Other words are: Balance, Blessings, Community, Growth, Healing, Life, Patience, Productivity, Psychic Energy, Rebirth, Trust in Miracles, Manifesting Abundance, Dreaming Big, Kindness, Focus, Prosperity, Believe in Yourself, You Are On The Right Path.

Where the bees make honey

Summary: A snowstorm can lead to a lot of things...

Hope you’ll enjoy it. Let me know in the comment section.

Thank you! :)

Lots of love, xxx Spicy Clover

Living in Finland comes with positive and negative sides. Wonderful summers but long winters. In your backyard, you have a bee hotel. We’re glad you have been cultivating honey for the past three years. Valterri built it for your birthday; since then, you haven’t stopped caring for it. You love that you can make batches of honey, and he gets to give them to some of his coworkers. 

It’s not much, but you love him for doing this with you. He always asks for the bees' health, even when away. But coming back from Abu Dhabi, a massive snowstorm completely covered the country with eternal white. You arrived home as best you could. But the hive was destroyed in the snowstorm. Usually, you put the hive in the greenhouse that way; it is protected, but you rush out of the house to go to the airport and forget. 

It breaks your heart when, the following day, you check on it, and most of the bees are dead on the snowy ground. You search for the rest of the colony; thankfully, the queen is intact. You pick up some still alive and take them to the greenhouse, where a small in-building bee hotel is in a corner. Valterri helps you and shovels the rest of the hive to search for more. 

It took you the day before settling down in the living room. You’re still upset by yourself. You knew a storm was coming, and yet you forgot. 

“Kultaseni, we did the best we could.” He says, giving you a beer. “Next summer, I’ll build you a new one and will start again.”

“Yeah...” Unconvinced, still bothered by your own mistake. It bothered you even more when it was a gift from him. 

“Rakkaus, look at me!” He takes your head in his hands. “It’s okay. Some of them are saved in the greenhouse, and next summer, we will make a better hotel, stronger this time.” 

You kissed him. You can’t believe how lucky you are to have him in your life. He hugs and sets the movie you’re planning to watch. You cuddle the rest of the night and eventually fall asleep in his arms. 

Winter has passed quickly. You have several activities together. Valterri even tried the fat bike, which allowed him to continue pedalling even during the winter. You also enjoyed good raclette and fondue in all sauces. You continue to watch the bees and are happy that they are acclimatizing to their environment while waiting for the warm season. Winter is coming to an end. The snow is melting, and life is back on track.

Valterri has started the new season again, and you are happy. Things are going wonderfully well between you. He shows you how much he loves you whenever he can, little attentions here and there, languid kisses and torrid nights. You’re happy, and that’s the most important thing. 

Summer is here. You saw several races this year, and the holidays have finally started. Valterri finished working on the hotel, and you were able to install it outside for the month of July. You even discovered it a few weeks ago, which was a little surprise.

Two months ago, Valterri surprised you. He built a real house for your little friends. A place that protects them from snow and bad weather. You obviously inaugurated it really well... A little too well because in a few months, a new family member is arriving. 

“Mehiläinen” Valterri says one time, when you’re in bed. 

“What?”  

“Let’s call her Mehiläinen.” He says, looking thoughtfully at you.

“You want to call your daughter after the bees?” 

“Well... After all, we make her where they make honey?” He winks at you before he kisses you tenderly. After all, he’s not wrong.

Maija Mehiläinen on nyt tekijänoikeuksista vapaa! :O

[beardedmrbean]

Finnish President Alexander Stubb told a press conference in the Estonian capital Tallinn on Monday evening that "it is not our job to tie Ukrainians’ hands" concerning how they use the arms donated by Finland, reports Hufvudstadsbladet.

While saying that it is up to Ukraine to decide whether to use the weapons donated by Finland against military targets on Russian territory, he added that sending Finnish soldiers to Ukraine is out of the question.

"At this stage, talk of sending troops to Ukraine is pure speculation. Finland's position has not changed in any way. We are not about to send troops," he said.

Stubb agreed with a recent appeal by Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to allow Ukraine to use donated weapons systems against military targets inside Russia.

"In a situation where one party is certainly not following the rules of war, it is not our job to restrict Ukraine's behaviour in any way," he told Finnish media representatives at the press conference.

"Let's take a hypothetical example. If on the other side of the border there are Russian forces deployed or arms depots, I see no reason why the weapons and ammunition we donated should be restricted in that area," Stubb explained.

On the subject of a ceasefire, President Stubb pointed out that while this is a prerequisite for peace in the long term, the terms cannot be dictated by Russia.

"A ceasefire would mean that Russia stops its attack and withdraws. Then we can start discussing the issue," he said.

President Stubb, accompanied by his spouse Suzanne Innes-Stubb, is continuing a state visit to Estonia on Tuesday.

The first day of the visit ended with a state banquet, hosted by Estonian President Alar Karis and his spouse Sirje Karis.

Hufvudstadsbladet provides readers with a photo gallery of the some of the fashion on display at that event.

Split over more EU debt

Around half of Finns oppose increasing the EU's joint debt, according to a fresh survey by the Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA, reported by the economic and business daily Kauppalehti.

Of the respondents to the poll, 49 percent said they fully or somewhat agreed with the statement: "If the EU plans to take on more joint debt, Finland should oppose the project".

Around one fifth of respondents said that Finland should not oppose further borrowing. A third chose the option "difficult to say".

Views on the issue vary sharply by political party.

The most negative attitude towards more joint debt was found among Finns Party voters, 77 percent of whom are opposed to any common EU debt. A majority of Movement Now (73 percent), Christian Democrats (66 percent) and National Coalition Party (59 percent) also oppose a joint debt project. In addition, there are more opponents than supporters of increasing EU debt among the Centre Party (49 percent) and the Swedish People's Party (44 percent).

SDP supporters were fairly evenly split over the issue. In contrast, only fewer than a fifth of Left Alliance and Green supporters want Finland to oppose a new EU joint debt project.

Three in ten voters surveyed (29 percent) believe that EU funding must be increased if Europe is to have a strong position in the world. A nearly equal number (28 percent) disagree. A very large number (43 percent) in this poll expressed no opinion at all.

The results are based on answers from 2,087 respondents to an internet panel conducted by the pollster Taloustutkimus between 13 March and 21 March.

Private healthcare strike

Clients of the private healthcare service companies Mehiläinen, Terveystalo, Pihlajalinna and Synlab Finland may see delays in laboratory and imaging services this week due to strikes, reports Iltalehti.

On Tuesday 28 May and Thursday 30 May, imaging services will be affected, and on Wednesday 29 May and Friday 31 May laboratories will be impacted.

All four of the private healthcare companies told Iltalehti that they will be in contact with customers if appointments need to be cancelled. The strikes may affect scheduled tests and delay processing of test results, but will not directly affect the appointments with doctors and occupational health nurses.

The strikes this week follow an announcement by the national labour mediator on Sunday that no settlement had been reached in collective bargaining in the private health services sector where unions are pressing for higher pay scales.

Heat warning

The heatwave continues in Finland, and the news agency STT reports that the Finnish Meteorological Institute has issued a warning of several days of sweltering heat across much of the south and centre the country, with temperatures rising to around 30 degrees Celsius.

This is the first official heat warning of the year, and according to the FMI, heat warnings are not normal for May.

Ilta-Sanomat looks farther ahead with a report on the current forecast of pleasantly warm summer weather for the Midsummer holiday later this month.

The latest monthly outlook from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) for the week beginning 17 June, Midsummer week, shows slightly warmer than normal average weekly temperatures in Finland.

However, Foreca meteorologist Joanna Rinne points out that this forecast does not say anything about the chances of rain.

Temperatures over the Midsummer holiday are currently expected to average 20-22 degrees in southern Finland, 18-20 degrees in central and northern Finland, and around 15 degrees in Lapland.

Majority of Finns would tighten EU external borders

Asylum policy and support for Ukraine are two issues in which the views of a majority of voters and most candidates in the EU parliamentary election diverge.

A new report by the Natopoll research project has found that people in Finland are far more in favour of turning back irregular migrants at Europe's external borders than are the candidates standing in the 2024 EU parliamentary election on 9 June.

The project aims to examine Finnish citizens' views on security and defence policy.

The report on the views of voters who responded to the survey includes a comparison with those of candidates who responded to similar questions for Yle's EU Election Compass.

Fifty-two per cent of voters said they believe that people seeking to enter Europe could be turned back at the external border, even if this would put their lives in danger.

Of the candidates who responded to Yle's election compass, 28 percent are of the same opinion.

Tässä on Määttä. Tapasin Määtän Forumin H&M:ssä. Hän oli matkustanut sinne jonkun naisen taskussa. Nainen kaivoi nenäliinaa taskusta ja Määttä epäilemättä luuli litistyvänsä ja pisti. "Ampiainen!" nainen huusi. "Se on kyllä mehiläinen*", minä sanoin ja poimin Määtän lattialta. Vein hänet rötöstelemään Forumin ylätasanteen pelakuupenkkiin.
