Guest Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 All done and voted in a couple of other categories too. Think it's the mix of capitals and lower case together with their squiggles that makes it confusing as to what is the code and what isn't.

Pimms o'clock? Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Defo got my vote. I'm very into the "plight of the bumblebee", we can't live without bees! BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 All done here as well. Did you know ... scientifically speaking, the bee should not be able to fly (i.e. ratio of weight of body to strength of wings). They are magical creatures, I especially love bumblebees. If you ever see a bee apparently exhausted on the ground, drop a tiny bit of honey in front of it, it will sup the honey and then gain enough energy to fly again. The same thing works with butterflies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 And while we're on bee facts, did you know that scientists estimate that if all bees died out, the human race would only live on for about 3 more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimms o'clock? Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yes Hi SuzieC8 ...just as I said "we can't live without them" Don't know anything about the honey or syrup bit though, I think we need a bee keeper to answer this one.

mollypiper Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I didn't even know that you could vote for lottery winners so that was interesting thanks. Did the vote. made me think of the film Bee Movie and the message behind that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks Cait - good cause IMHO! You're right - depending on what sort of honey you give them. If you've bought it from a local source it's not too bad, but a lot of the commercially available honey is mixed from various sources from abroad (a bit like the difference between a single malt whisky and ordinary blended scotch) which makes it much cheaper to produce. But it also means that it's quite likely to include, for example, spores of various diseases such as European Foul Brood. This can then be transferred back to the hive of the bee you've given it to, so it's not good practice, although I know a lot of people like to see the way a bowl of honey can quickly attract a whole bunch of bees. By the way Suzie - there's no evidence Albert Einstein (who it's attributed to) actually came up with the quote about humans only having 4 years to exist if honey bees died out (desperately trying to avoid sounding like a know-it-all here).
