BEES' BLOG – LIKE SENDING BEES TO WAR

Hello, we are Polly and Billi The Bees, and this is our Guest Blog.

As though things weren't already bad enough for us bees, we've just learned something terrible about a popular and seemingly-innocuous product which you may even have in your store cupboard or pantry: ALMOND MILK.

Friends of the Earth have worked out that 

“Within just one human generation, the odds for bumblebee survival have dropped by an average of more than 30%”

So, we've been The Bees and we'll see you all again next month – until then, BEEEEEEEEEEEE GOOD, think twice before you buy any Almond Milk… and don't forget this allegedly important announcement from Wilson's New Dad:

INTERNATIONAL ANT DAY
Today was also International Ant Day, so Wilson and Byron took a day off from preparing the Gallery to observe the Traditional Rite of finding the First Ant of Spring.

Byron won, and was crowned Ant King of Uckfield!

Wilson took it quite well, considering that this is the first time he's lost since moving here (actually, this is the first time he's had any competition) saying, 'At least we kept it in the family!'

After a moment's reflection he added, 'Village Life has made me soft, New Dad – I've lost my Drive, my

Need To Win…'
