Rare wild British honey bee discovery creates quite a buzz
Wed, November 24, 2021, 10:00 PM
Bee conservationist Filipe Salbany has discovered thousands of rare wild honeybees, which may be the last descendants of Britain’s native honey bee population in ancient woodlands on Blenheim Estate in central south England. Salbany says it’s crucial that the population is studied to learn how to protect other bees and prevent cross breeding which can lead to decline in numbers.
This was on Yahoo News and the site has suspended comments on this article. Have no idea of the source unless it's the AFP noted at the top.
