Did you know....?

Did you know there is a "National Bee Unit" run by the Government? Nope, neither did I but there is. They even have a website.

You obviously missed the Radio 4 series of 15 minute programmes a few years ago on "Bee Inspectors"

With all the excitement of the recent elections in Wales I had overlooked this report on the BBC website:
Welsh urged to become beekeepers

It has a chilling message for all of us:

"If you want to save the planet, become a beekeeper."

and

Mr Taylor said Albert Einstein once predicted that if bees were to become extinct mankind could only survive for four years.

Perhaps the government are hiding the true importance of bees from us.(puts on tin foil hat and adopts conspiracy theory mode)
