Jennie Durant's Bitter Honey is a great exposé of the true cost of industrially farming US honeybees, finds Thomas Lewton. But the book's grim figures of bee death alone may not prompt deep change – how about seeing them as fellow creatures? https://t.co/Lx2BoW6Fry

If you have bees on your premises it is important to identify them correctly in order to determine who to approach for help. As well as honey bees there are around 24 species of bumblebee and over 240 species of solitary bee in the UK.

UK government promises £350 million support for the chemicals sector: https://t.co/hhqCdFw9ti
What a pity previous governments allowed a laissez-faire policy with ICI in contrast to the state shielding and infrastructure support given to French and German chemical industries.
