Why are the bees leaving their hives ?

Posted under Blogroll, Fun Stuff by Julie

As many of you know I do a little bit of work for a local HE college and the Buzz words for this year are ‘embedding numeracy’ – much to the horror of many students and a fair number of staff as well. It’s EVERYWHERE!!

I’ve just heard this story on the Steve Wright show and have found a link to the full story if anyone would like to have a read. Apparently Bees are BEEING TAUGHT TO COUNT in order to obtain nectar!!! No wonder they are vacating their hives in large numbers to hopefully find pastures new – although I have witnessed quite a few just dropping dead on the walkways in Townley recently – which is perhaps understandable if they have taken on board that they may need to count to more than four in future in order to be fed!

Poor Bees!!

Comments and emails always welcome.
