Wonderful to see this. We so need the bees to pollinate our crops.

Bees are currently being plagued with a disease that threatens to wipe them out.

Without bees we would have a very serious food crisis. It would be very labour intensive to pollinate crops by hand. So please don't hate them or kill them, they do so much good.

They only sting you as a last resort, because after stinging you they die.

Also remember we steal their honey. Honey has many healing properties. It was used in WW1 to dress open wounds because it is too sweet for bacteria to live in so kept wounds clean and promoted healing.

Antibiotics are losing their potency, honey may yet make a come back. I always take it neat when I have a sore throat, works like magic for me every time.

Love our bees and also our wasps. Even wasps have a purpose although these are nasty in the autumn.
