A report on radio4 this morning, asking people to keep a bee colony in
their
gardens and even on a balcony (for example) for city dwellers. How
practical is this?




I got stung by a bee yesterday. £3.50 for a jar of honey!

Natural antibiotics and nourishment all for £3.50 - what more could one
ask for. ;-)

A man went into a pet shop and said, "I'd like to buy a bee please."

The shop keeper replied," I'm sorry, sir, we don't sell bees."

To which the customer said, "Well you've got one in the window."

LOL!

Reminds me of when my bee-keeping German friend was staying with me. We
were shopping and she saw a bee trying to get out of an estate agents shop
window. She went inside and said "have you noticed the bee in your window?"
The staff said they hadn't, so she asked "would you mind if I caught her,
and let her go?" They agreed to it and she flew away.
I think they thought my friend was mad.

Only if you have a tin opener.

A rusty one on a knife that has a thingy for getting stones out of horses
hooves?

No, one that gets boy scouts out of horses' hooves.

That was cheap! Local honey here sells for at least £4.50. Was this imported
honey - 'produce of several countries'?
