Where are all the bees?

I reckon it’s down to farming and the chemicals involved in that

On average I get 5 nests a summer in my loft due to living in the countryside.

Had none this year and doesn’t look like I’ll be getting any. Something is up

Maybe they don’t like the smell?

There’s a few dead mice up there. Probably keeping them away

That’s playing a big part - the land / crops have become too sterile with all the crap that gets sprayed on them.

Yeh am sure the farmers are using some new stuff up here recently.

Walk past and it’s like you’re in a gas chamber.

It’s another Brexit “benefit”

The Tories legalised certain insecticides (banned under EU law) which pretty much wiped huge numbers of them out. (Bees, not Tories unfortunately)

Some tips mate...

Give this movie a watch:

Statham gives loads of tips on how to be an effective Beekeeper.

For instance: Make sure you throw a couple of wasps in there with the bees. It's always good to have some jocks around to keep the nerds in line.

Never heard this one. Is there any good articles on it?

Mainly over on telegram.

But loathe to share bits on a discussion forum where ridicule is high.

Im a sensitive lamb... but this kind of stuff has a habit of going from serious debate to arguments or upsetting folk, quicker than bitcoin going up and down.


Probably filed under conspiracy
