noticed a bumble bee trying to feed on grass. no flowers cos all the maniacs have been out cutting every bit of grass there is to cut. Productivity - full employment of council staff.
i used to be one of those cruel kids with a jam jar catching bees. but all the hedges have been replaced by fences. No wild flowers till you hit woods.

Yep. We are in grave danger of creating a legacy for the next generation. No Bees no pollination  = depleted crops/ fruit etc.

I watched this with my grandkids ages ago. It's an animated film, aimed at kids obviously,
but watching it shows how much we depend on bees for a lot of our food.
Without bees, some 'experts' believe food production would grind to a halt within something
like 3 years!

Watch and enjoy it for what it is.....Bee Movie

American WASP's don't like immigrants much either Silly

On a serious point though, it is a shame more people don't get in to bee keeping. A hobby I intend on taking in up in a year or two.

Serious problem.

The SNP have said they will welcome these Killer Hornets into Scotland under their Everybody is Welcome policy.
Yet another reason to vote UKIP. Happy

I have lots of blossom here, but haven't seen many bees!
Report doantwin2easy April 28, 2015 9:30 PM BST
most of the bees you see at this time of year are twice the average size and highly confused.

I think there's a few good farmers bringing hedgerows back and planting wildflowers. We need to seriously think about banning pesticides as well.

They say that mobile phone signals confuse them and lots can`t find their way back to the hive. This is a massive problem. Bees disappear, we are in trouble.

Not content with robbing the bees of their natural habitat and food supply.
As soon as the little hard working bumble bees produce any honey to sustain themselves, they steal it from them.

Stealing from the bees indeed.

I feel so ashamed of you lot.

I doubt many people here harvest bumble bee honey unless there are some Brown Bears lurking on the forum, and they've been hiding that pretty well :)
