If anyone in Parwich or the surrounding area becomes aware of a swarm of bees, do contact me on 390433 as soon as possible and I will be delighted to attempt to recover them and find a home for them. With the decline in the bee population due to colony collapse (no one knows the reasons for this, but some say it is due to herbicides) any attempt to promote the bee population should be welcomed as bees are a vital means of pollinating crops. I will be glad to play my small part in this. Mike Radcliffe, Flaxdale House, Parwich.
A big thank you to Parwich and especially to Martin C for the offer of the piano from the vicarage.

Do you (or does anyone you know) have a piano sitting in their front, middle, back room or garage which never or rarely gets used? Would you be prepared to donate or lend it on a long-ish term basis to Parwich Primary School? A new programme of music lessons is being brought into the school for the village children to learn guitar, violin and piano but the school cannot afford a piano. Please call the school on 245 if you can help or email us on parwich@hotmail.co.uk and we will pass your offer onto the school.
