“Beekeepers are careful to tell their bees everything important that concerns the family and household–births, marriages, deaths, a new set of curtains, and suchlike. But that’s not superstition, just the practical observation that if you don’t tell them, they will fly indoors to find out for themselves.”
— Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson, The Folklore of Discworld (viacatmint1)
