Helping the Declining Bee Population

True recent Adelaide story

Bees are declining
I have barrel bees
Wine barrel was empty
Looks good said the bees

Society (bee) contacted
Offered bees/barrel
Free on exchange for
Another wine barrel

Our call-out fee costs
You fifty dollars
And hourly rate bee work
Is twenty five dollars

And I thought I was doing something
for the environment and declining
bee population?……
