Bees are important – without their pollinating efforts, we would have even greater problems in growing enough food to feed everyone. Bee numbers are unfortunately declining, for various reasons. This means some bad juju for everyone on the planet, really.

But wait – help is at hand. A drive to educate people on how important the bee really is to our way of life is taking place as we speak, but not where you would expect. No, this drive is taking place in Manchester of all places!

The funny thing is that as part of this drive, people are being trained up as bona fide beekeepers, complete with “my first beehive” style kit to get people going with their own yellow-and-black harbingers of death.

All this just makes me envisage some Moss Side gangster chav tending to a hive of bees in his spare time, keeping it quiet in case someone finds out and steals all his honey to pay for their heroin habit. Either that or they’d just use it like some kind of attack animal.
