Panic in the beehive


As I boy, I thought it great fun to go round killing bees. Like the bullfight, there was an element of danger involved in squashing one, timid or limp-wristed hands more often than not ended up stung.

Now we learn that the bee population is on the verge of extinction and that this could spoil the countryside as we know it and eventually all life.

My plan now is to travel back in time and prevent each bee killing from happening. Hopefully my mission will be successful and when I return the air will be thick with our buzzing friends.

At this point it may be a good idea to surrender dominion of the earth and beg for bee mercy. Perhaps they will make Debi Jones their queen and we can live side by side in harmony.
