The Write Idea 
We’re all part of the food chain, eventually.
That’s true, preferably not to a magpie though!
Aww… Shoot those magpies!
Our magpies rob nests to devour the eggs and nestlings, but I didn’t know they eat bees, too. The ones around here are eager and audacious when dishes of cat food are left on the deck, cat or no cat. 😦
They’re only being magpies, and they get picked off by the red kites, who get caught by the goshawks … Still a shame about the bees, though.
