They say there is a huge decline in the number of honey bees and they haven't been monitoring them. I have masses in my garden, more than for many years. Do you think they have all migrated to Sussex and DEFRA can't be bothered to track them?
(Sorry for the number of be / bees ).

Shouldn't that have been 'Beehive yourselves' Briant?!!

Of course The Bees had a hit with a track about chickens ('Chicken Payback') a few years ago.
