They do like to bee beside the quayside

Great headline! My dear lady just said, “In these hard times Quarr must be thankful for these 'Free-bees'!”

There is no charge yet for entrance to Ventnor Botanic Garden so please buzz over there to see a wonderful display of Mediterranean flowers. The bees love the big echiums.

whilst most bee stings are mildy painful, you have to guard against anaphalactic shock which can occur. i would advise people not to panic but to give these bees a wide berth until they naturally move on, or until they are removed by the authorities.

Amazing pedantry from Vernon there. Perhaps the beekeeper should lead them to Ventnor Botanical Gardens - now there is an entrance fee I am sure the new owners will be delighted with a million paying customers.

Mr Miller, whilst I agree that all the evidence points to the Pied Piper indeed being a mass murderer, I think it is incorrect to state that he was "not a rodent exterminator." He was in fact just that, having been hired by the townsmen of Hamelin to delivering the city from rats. Upon the city's deliverance, the townsmen refused to pay him, and it was that infamous betrayal that propelled him to violence. So, let us hope that the townsmen (and women in this PC age) of Yarmouth learn the lessons of history and ensure that the local beekeper is paid for his services.

bloody good job there was a local beekeeper on hand to save the day, very much in the style of Rattenfänger von Hameln, who incidentally was in fact a serial killer and not a rodent exterminator as is widely and very wrongly perceived by the vast majority of the human race

its probably this nice swarm weather we are having...great headline by the way
