To bee or not to bee - that is the question at Broughton allotments

“Ricardo121 your experience seems to be based upon scare stories about Africanized Bees which can't actually survive in our climate. If honey bees were as dangerous as you seem to believe I odubt there would be hives in the community orchard or Pearson Park Wildlife Garden and I rather doubt I'd have 3 hives in my garden come to think of it.”

“Oh to be a bee.”

“It's not councillors, teachers or health and safety that are driving these daft decisions it's parents and the rest of the claim for this or claim for that brigade driven by idiotic campaigns on TV. That's why they close schools when a few snowflakes fall or the heating fails in summer!!”

“ovl638p - maybe you're not giving off the odour they're attracted to, sorry couldn't resist.”

“I have a large Lavender bush right outside my front door and in the summer it is covered in bees, I must have walked past it 10 to 20 times every day and not been stung! I could stand a couple of feet away just watching them and never once had any of them show mallace towards me.”

“times have changed many bees are imported from europe and are savage they attack any thing that moves and will not stop until (as individuals) are destroyed, please note real experience.”

“Has anyone thought to ask a bee keeper for an opinion?”

“Stupid decision. Kids need to learn about danger to stay safe, not be shielded from every danger! My son isn't allowed to take peanut butter in his pack up as a kid is allergic....”

“Beehive yourselves councillors,bees are not renowned for stinging for the hell of it unlike wasps.
UTTER UTTER MADNESS.”

“Hang on chaps, what about anaphylactic shock, a child could die if stung by one of these bees, so yes, I think the correct decision has been made.”
