Natural England needs you, dear urbanite, to put on your conservationist hat — and beesuit, by the looks of it — and start taking care of a small bee colony. Because, as you already know, you can’t have healthy plant life without healthy insect populations to sustain it. At this point, a lot of us might be intrigued — after all, who doesn’t find the idea of homemade honey and a houseful of killer bees appealing? And all would indeed be well, but for the £465 ($790) price of the beekeeping unit, which renders the entire idea the exclusive preserve of the very wealthy and very bored and leaves us poor nature lovers looking on helplessly. Like a bee trying to fly through a window.
