The death of the bumble bee

[Moos]

You see, that's the trouble with this Forum, all this insinuation and ting. To what, exactly, are you asking Felix to put up his paw?

No further witnesses, your honour.

[Moos]

Objection - badgering the witness.

[HonaloochieB]

Sustained. Mr Max don't try the court's patience.

I'd shake my gavel at you but of course I don't have any fingers, so I can't.

Justice Thumbs.

No - tell me it's not true that Andy & Mike have split?

[PeckhamRose]

Grey squirrels.

Thanks Lou, at last someone who's bringing some live bees onto the thread.

Everyone stand still, they won't sting.

They're our friends.

When I was 5 I was stung a few hundred times by a swarm of bees trying to set up a hive in a tree in our garden. Still, it means I don't react much to the one or two bee stings I have had subsequently, which were certainly less painful than encounters with angry bus drivers (whose names may or may not begin with A).

However evil the bast**ds may be at times they are essential to food production so live and let live I say.

Bzzzzzz it was not - rather the sound of a blue bottle, which really does serve no purpose (although I await to be corrected!)

Buz buz buz

I wonder why it does

[louisiana]

Throughout this debate, the voices of the bumble bee community have sadly not been heard.

I call upon the leaders of that community to step forward...

[Huguenot]

There are no leaders for the bumble bee community, they're diverse and politically heterogeneous; where are the leaders of the white community? Nowhere I tell you.

[louisiana]

Huge-nut, you perhaps detected the placement of my tongue, in the environs of my cheek, perchance?

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Just found a bottle of Tizer.

Would anyone care to join me for a swig?

Sorry, its not Tizer as its in a Blue Bottle, we're back on topic...

[louisiana]

Sorry mate, but you can't implement topic detectors in the lounge. That would be empire building and 'deviation' ;-)

[Huguenot]

Quite right louisiana, and there was me thinking the the humble bumble bee truly had varied political affiliations. ;-)

[Brendan]

Anyone seen the new series of The Wire?

[Huguenot]

Baltimore has never, and will never be a bumble bee hot spot.

For bee enthusiasts, I give you the Bumblebee Conservation Trust

The also have a sanctuary.

It's highly recommended that if you come across a drunk Apidae Bombus, the you port it by bus, train and bicycle to Kinross and give the little fecker a new lease of life.

There is a magazine called Beecraft too.
