We’re grateful to singer and folklorist Steve Byrne – @byrnesong on Twitter – who took a deep dive into that image of heart shaped honeycomb you might have come across.
The picture has generated no end of stories with headlines like ‘Bees Create Heart-Shaped Hive When There Aren’t Frames Up to Guide Them.’
Except, well, did they? That was the question @byrnesong sought to answer and it’s a fascinating thread.
1.
That beekeeper heart honeycomb image. A thread. pic.twitter.com/55lqUZ4uiI — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 16, 2020
2.
Firstly, I’m a folklorist to trade. Interested in traditions, customs, tales, songs. How things are passed on.
In June 2020, an artist published a Tweet saying her parents are beekeepers, who sent her this image from a fellow French bee keeper /2 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 16, 2020
3.
The beekeeper had left the frame out of his hive, allowing the bees to freeform. Fine.
On the thread, people umm-ed & aah-ed about the bees & their skill, how amazing nature is. It was liked over 60,000 & retweeted nearly 10,000 times. But! I had seen this image before. /3 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 16, 2020
4.
So my folklorist Spidey senses were activated. What’s going on here? To be fair, The person didn’t *actually* say it was a *friend* of her parents. They could have simply sent her a copy of the image, knowing she was interested in natural history (she is a plant illustrator) /4 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 16, 2020
5.
Perhaps they simply said, “Hey look at this amazing honeycomb, apparently it’s from a French beekeeper”. The tweet read “fellow French beekeeper” which could simply mean French person, who is also, like her parents, a beekeeper. /5 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 16, 2020
6.
Fine. By this time I had done a Google Image Search on the picture. Lots of hits. “Beekeeper forgot to put the frame…” “Beekeeper forgets to put frame…” Hmm. They’re from all over the world, and there seems to have been a swell around Feb 2020. /6 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
7.
Then someone posts a link in the Twitter thread to a @nationaltrust story from August 2015. It was picked up again in Feb 2020 by @mymodernmet and circulated online for a few weeks. https://t.co/ZNTHud8gib /7 pic.twitter.com/LdRPj4B6Bh — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
8.
The NT Facebook caption asks people if they have ever seen anything so beautiful. It also says their bees at Bodiam Castle have been busy making honey for their shop. One *could*, therefore, interpret this honeycomb as having been done by their bees. /8 pic.twitter.com/uNBR4FKMdX — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
9.
But one could also read it as, “Wow. look at this pretty honeycomb picture, isn’t it amazing?” [pause]
“By the way, we *also* have bees, who are busy making honey for our shop”. /9 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
10.
Then someone queries the image on the NT FB post, which has been shared several thousand times since 2015.
NT doubles down, or at least their social media person on duty that day does. They claim it was made by their own bees at the castle. The “real deal”. /10 pic.twitter.com/QvvaaUEibG — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
11.
Then we meet Brian Fanner. Brian says in reply to the NT FB post (some 16 weeks ago, which puts us around the time of the Feb 2020 @mymodernmet story, when perhaps Brian became aware of it circulating again): “I made this.” Although, Dana doesn’t appear to believe him. /11 pic.twitter.com/mKgWnq2KC6 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
12.
By this time the original Twitter thread was full of people posting the @mymodernmet story, having also done reverse image searches, who proceeded to accuse the original poster of not acknowledging @nationaltrust as the source, rather unfairly, given its clear viral nature. /12 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
13.
It’s quite possible it got to the poster via her parents who had seen it through the many channels it had propagated through. As I said earlier, the wording was ambiguous. Anyhow. Back to Brian Fanner. /13 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
14.
Brian counters Dana’s disbelief with a link to his own Facebook profile. /14https://t.co/dmw8Q0x9OU — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
15.
It’s dated November 2013 (remember the NT story was August 2015). It is apparently a heart made for his wife, Leila. The image only has 18 likes, 3 shares and 10 comments. /15 pic.twitter.com/skX1BXp00H — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020
16.
I floated some of this info on the original Twitter thread & was helpfully told that it’s possible to backdate FB posts. Didn’t know. However, apparently this would usually show a small clock icon near the title, to indicate the date had been altered. This is not the case. /16 — Steve Byrne #stayathome #wearfacecoverings (@byrnesong) June 17, 2020

While we wait to find out if we can halve the distance between ourselves and the nervous person on the next table in the restaurant, we’ve been keeping an eye on what Twitter thinks of pandemic life.
These comedic gems were too good not to share.

Here’s so-called foreign secretary Dominic Raab asked what he thought of Premier League footballers taking the knee last night when the football season returned after a 100-day break because of coronavirus.
It turns out that taking the knee isn’t for Raab and anyway, he thinks it’s a bit of nonsense that people only started doing after … watching Game of Thrones?

Well, that’s one theory.
Or it could be a protest against the unfair treatment of black Americans that was started by American footballer Colin Kaepernick in 2016.
The San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback sat instead of standing during the national anthem, and later knelt to raise awareness of police brutality, becoming a national – and global – talking point.
Game of Thrones, though. Here’s exactly what people made of it on Twitter.

It's easy to write this off as just Raab being thick, but it's more him being deliberately dismissive, belittling what taking the knee means, trying to shrug aside something important as pop culture fluff that can be easily ignored. https://t.co/hKk4Bnze4G — Nick Miller (@NickMiller79) June 18, 2020

On Wednesday, Boris Johnson released a pair of videos announcing the UK is in trade talks with Australia and New Zealand.
They included such highlights as the PM suggesting people think hobbits come from New Zealand and that the UK could send Marmite to Australia and get Vegemite in return – but why?
One particular moment got Twitter buzzing, and that was when Johnson appeared to break off to do an advert for Arnott’s Tim Tams, which are like Penguins, in case you were wondering.
There are few countries in the world who share a closer friendship than Australia and the UK.

We hesitate to suggest this is a new low for Donald Trump because by tomorrow it will be out of date.
But still, even for the so-called president, this was quite something, tweeting a faked CNN news video as part of his campaign against the so-called ‘fake news’ media.
Anyone with a reading age of, say, a 9-year-old could probably spot why it’s fake, ruling out a large number of Trump supporters.
Twitter labelled it ‘manipulated media’ just in case anyone was in any doubt. Here’s the genuine, unmanipulated CNN report.
So @POTUS just tweeted a fake, suggesting @CNN covered these toddlers like this. In reality this is how CNN reported this in 2019: Internet falls in love with these two toddlers hugging https://t.co/ydsxu8lTOC https://t.co/FHC7TgQeMo — Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) June 19, 2020

You’ll probably have seen by now that the government’s ‘world beating’ app that it promised as part of its track and trace plan to control the spread of Covid-19 hasn’t quite worked out as planned.
Not only is it not world beating, it’s not even Isle of Wight beating, because having trialled it there it turns out it doesn’t work, and they’re going to use one being developed with Apple and Google instead.
Foreign office minister James not so Cleverly was on Question Time last night where he dismissed suggestions that it was yet another government U-turn.
And it’s fair to say Fiona Bruce wasn’t having any of it and it’s a very satisfying watch. Like a particularly gruesome kill on a David Attenborough documentary.

Whether it started out as a joke or just seemed like one, there’s no way American TikTok user @jchelle36, or Michelle, is being serious now.
This is how we first became aware of her.
Having outraged British sensibilities with that display, despite living in the UK, she has now turned her attention to a “British” way of cooking eggs, and – well, just have a look at this nonsense.
TikTok users weren’t impressed, with comments like these being pretty representative.
Surely this is a joke. This is not real

After much fevered debate about the wisdom of holding an indoor rally during a pandemic, Donald Trump‘s first face-to-face address to the MAGA faithful went ahead in Tulsa with far lower numbers than predicted.
That may have been due to the K-Pop “army” reserving seats they never had any intention of using.

RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2020
Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nations history – unless this stupidity is ended. We voted during World War One & World War Two with no problem, but now they are using Covid in order to cheat by using Mail-Ins! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2020
As you’ve probably realised, it’s not true.
This is false. Ballots aren’t just printed on computer paper. They are specific paper weights and types and generally are sold by a small handful of companies. The amount of information required – and the time and access – would require a conspiracy of insane magnitude. https://t.co/gHTM8QUrx7 — Jessica Huseman (@JessicaHuseman) June 22, 2020
There is no evidence to support this claim. Five US states — Oregon, Washington, Utah, Hawaii and Colorado — have implemented statewide mail-in ballot systems, and voter fraud is extremely rare https://t.co/NbS0DP6hQa https://t.co/OKP4j9xVty — AFP Fact Check 🔎 (@AFPFactCheck) June 22, 2020

Most people got that it was (very) probably staged, but most of them didn’t mind because the message was the important bit.

Sorta did this once. A nearby passenger threw her trash in the middle of the road. We were in the middle of a red light so I had time to knock on her door and ask her to pick up her trash.

Unable to go to the pub for the last few months because of the pandemic, someone’s gone and built a lockdown pub in their back garden.
