Bumble Bees are coming back to Britain!:cheers2: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8076205.stm Conservationists are going to try and introduce the bee to britain, and recreate many wildflower habitats. They are going to ship bumblebees over from Australia whilst they are hibernating in cool boxes. I love bumblebees, there are few natural sounds more serene than the sound of a bumblebee collecting pollen on a hot summer day. They make this lovely kind of muffled buzzing noise. These days all you hear is some garden carpet lawn fascist about a mile and a half away, out in their garden with their flymo, or their hedge trimmer, making sure everything looks like sharp edged polygons. Stupid noisy assholes. But yeah, bees must come back, we need more bees.
My husbands one of these silly flap your arms about like a madman types when he hears a bumble I love watching them go about their business And we live in flats with a communal garden and have to put up with lawn fascist flymo guy every other day, chopping down all the buttercups and daisies and cutting the hedges into naff shapes. All the bees still come for the flowers on our balcony though
That's silly. Bees don't bother you, unless you are wearing flowers our something. Wasps are bastards though, they'll crawl up your trouser leg without you even noticing.
I'm taking bee pollen this year for my hay fever, so that is another reason why we need more bees because it seems to be working miracles.
thats great news. i watched a documentary on the disapearance of the bees and the effect it could have would be devistating to the eco system as a whole. me and my hubby are thinking of bee keeping when we move i can just see him in his little space bee suit.
One of the Rangers at work got stung by a hornet once. She said she accidentally disturbed it and the bugger chased her right through the woods, she was running screaming and shouting and swearing like a madwoman, flapping her arms about hehe But the bugger got her in the end and OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH!!! Apparently her antics provoked a lot of curtain twitching in the houses over the road
