The Bees Set Up Early For Big Green Picnic

Virtual RangerYou might’ve heard the news that as part of the Bestival bandstand at the forthcoming Big Green Picnic, The Bees will be gracing the stage and providing some quality entertainment for green loving punters (more details to follow later).

But, we bet you didn’t expect 20,000 of them.

We noticed on the Virtual Ranger’s blog yesterday, that a swarm of bees have set up home at County Hall and are causing a bit of a stir. Being a man of multi-media capabilities, he managed to capture the beauty of the bees on film (video after the jump)

The Virtual Ranger (otherwise known as Matthew Chatfield, Head of Parks and Countryside for IW Council) explains in his posting about why bees swarm.
