Jalima Was that why they were stolen? Someone was planning to set up a lucrative honey-dressings enterprise (not NHS) but were foiled by the crafty bees, acting as one unit, who stuck the thieves to each other with honey and buzzed off to Cambridge.

Stand underneath with your mouth open lemongrove !

They can't be the same bees - not enough time to make all that honey.
The NHS could make a fortune - or use it for wound dressing.

Or is the whole thing a sting?

Did they escape from their kidnappers, sting them well, and set off south to set up a new home somewhere well away?

Are they the same species?
There are 250+ species of bees, some speak with a Scottish accent too.

Perhaps flying that far south made them ill.
