Sugar Puffs are giving away a young gardener start up kit to raise
awareness of the fact that the bee population has fallen by 80%.

It hasn't.

:-)

There was a decent article on the "problem" on R4 yesterday
afternoon, from the State. They reckon because of their dwindling
population of indigenous bees there are a great many crops that they
can no longer sustain.
And the killer bees are back, apparently. But not like in the film of
that name.

For the State, read The States!
