Comic Collecting- Keep Looking for the Million Dollar Titles

20th July 2019 by UBee

Comic collecting has gone through ups and downs in popularity through the years.

It could have been a hobby that lost millions of followers with the rise of TV and cinema. However that has only added to the appeal of collecting comics.

The first printed comic came onto the market in the USA back in the 1930’s.

So where do you get started? Like all collections, some people start them for the love the of subject, while for others it’s based on a financial decision.

As a beginner it’s often easier to decide to base your collection around a Superhero you like. Start with one set of comics and then build up from there.

App Designing as a Hobby

15th June 2019 by UBee

Can you imagine life without the apps on your smartphone? They have become such a part of our everyday life, it’s hard to imagine studying, travelling or day-to-day life without them. In real terms, they are actually a very recent addition to our lives.  But their impact has been astounding.

So what is a mobile app? A mobile app or mobile application is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone/tablet or watch.

Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as Email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available.

Learn to Spell? It’s the Latest Hobby

1st June 2019 by UBee

It only lasted one series on TV , but the show called The Big Spell back in 2017 has started a whole new interest in spelling as a skill.

Based on the Spelling Bee contests so popular in the USA, The Big Spell saw teams of young people compete through to the final, proving they really were the best at spelling!

For many of us, the use of computers and spell check has sent our spelling skills to the bottom of the class

What is a spelling bee? The National Spelling bee is famous in America and draws large crowds both in person and in arenas who gather to watch the competition.

Bees! Helping Them Before It’s Too Late

4th May 2019 by UBee

What did you eat this week? Breakfast-jam on your toast? Lunch an apple after your cheese and tomato sandwich? Dinner – pasta with a tomato sauce? Well, you needed bees to be part of all of this!   When most people think about bees, they just think about the honey they produce but actually they’re behind much of the food we eat, including most fruit and vegetables. Bees are crucial to our economy –the pollinate our crops and  without them it would cost UK farmers £1.8 billion a year to use other methods of crop growing.  A world without our bees would be a very different place.

There are 267 different species of bees in the UK but many species of bees are declining, with two bumblebee species known to be extinct.
