I'm not sure its accurate though, it is the mail after all.

About as accurate as you'd expect, ie just about every fact wrong.

OK, I'll give them 2/10- they didn't mention CCD, and they didn't call them bumblebees.

At least they didn't report that it was a swarm that had attacked the church and was terrorising the congregation.

Spanish flu??

I hear most if the British bees were wiped out in one horrific battle in the Somme...

 

[flemage]

just cant believe they can get away with writing such utter rubbish......

shall we all go on there (there is a comments section) and put them straight on mass?

 

[BeeMoustashe]

...but where to start??

 

[justme]

Even more surprising is that they've been in there for 100 years but...... the queen is marked!

Presumably 97 years, or 102.

Wasn't the bee pals brigades? All the colonies from an area joined up together and a whole generation was lost.

I'm feeling sorry for Dorian Pritchard. I don't know the chap but he's president of SICAMM (Intenational Association for the protection of the European Dark Bee sicamm.org). He has some genuine credentials. Must be quite a dilemma, should you talk to the Daily Mail and get some publicity? You know they will get some of it wrong but must be distressing to see just how far into la-la land they really are.

Why do people still read Newspapers, the only thing it's good fore is lighting your smoker, and who marked this queen GOD people should know better that to tell lies especially in a church.

when you put it that way, could be worst reading the sun although I do borrow my mate's at work and do the crossword, no thinking out side the box with that one lol

Spanish flu??

You don't think that since the Argentinian's are posturing over the Falklands again, the Spanish are now making noises about re-annexing the Isle of Wight, do you? Bit cunning to start by renaming the IoW Disease to Spansih 'Flu, mind

Would have thought it'd be Gibraltar first, but then again nobody expects the Spanish inquisition...

From the Tory liar , I mean Daily Mail.
"Slates were removed from the church by cutting into the roof with an electric saw, but the bees showed no signs of agitation - and no-one was stung"

Thats bcause they are British bees and were showing their Bull Dog spirit and stiff upper lip in the face of adversity!
