To paraphrase, the bee colony which lives on the roof of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris are alive and well. This made me happy this morning!

That's great news 
Yes very good news, something we can all unite behind for once
That is very good news. My parents used to keep two or three hives in our church grounds as they lived in a terraced house with yard only. They always shared the jars of honey around freely. One elderly lady used to ask them "do you keep a bee?" It really used to tickle them, dad would say Ey lass, the wife has to milk it though! Their old friend a Priest who taught them beekeeping had a complaint from a lady that one of his bees had flown into her garden and stung her! He said, you point the blighter out to me & I'll kill it m'dear!!! 
Mother Nature is a powerful force - thank goodness!
Yes that is hopeful Dora Marr.
