Fewer bees

[Dawndonna]

less honey.
Yep, I am being unreasonable, but it's basics and gets on my bloody nerves.

[runawaysimba]

And a wonderful PM it was, too. Bzzzz.

[Dawndonna]

I've really enjoyed this thread. Thank you, folks!

[TalcAndTurnips]

Bees > Honey > Mead.

I think that says it all.

[TheVermiciousKnid]

Are you suggesting that there are now fewer bees because they drink too much, Talc?

[hellymelly]

talc. You are a genius.

[Dawndonna]

Brilliant, Talc

[TalcAndTurnips]

I have sent runawaysimba a spectacular prize via the medium of Personal Message, for guessing the answer correctly. Sort of.

^ bee on a massive bender

[redwhiteandblueeyedsusan]

olivia, if it is in pedants corner, the rest of us will not be heducated, like!

[bumperella]

Ha! To be really pedantic, and totally off topic.... there are MORE honey bees now as there are more new beekeepers following all the "bees go man goes 5 years later" Einstein misquotes.

[waterlego6064]

Ahhhh.... I missed the clue too.

[waterlego6064]

Oh....'Rock Lobster' is a song by the B52s?

[waterlego6064]

Please explain how you got from 52 bees to boulder crustacean/rock lobster? I like cryptic but I am stumped.

[JeezyOrangePips]

Many - fewer
Much - less

You would say too many bees, not too many honey.

[Dawndonna]

Good grief runaway that's clever!

Talc I do hope you're a crossword compiler!

[runawaysimba]

Oh! Oh! Boulder crustaceon. Rock lobster. There are 52 bees... Gladys!!

[Dawndonna]

Olivia Happy for that to happen if you so wish. Was just being a mardy old bag when I posted!

Talc I love your bees, is there a sting in the tail?

[OliviaPeaceAndLoveMumsnet]

LOVE THOSE BEES, talc
OP, do you think perhaps your thread might be better placed in pedants' corner?!

[TalcAndTurnips]

How many bees are there?

[TalcAndTurnips]

Nope.

Clue: Boulder Crustacean

[TerraNotSoFirma]

A BB gun?

[TalcAndTurnips]

Prize Still Unclaimed

Apply round the back: knock on the window and ask for Gladys.


er, buzz?

A special online prize for the first person to guess who or what our buzzy chums above are representing

[TheVermiciousKnid]

I like less bee-age, it's got a certain ring to it. Or maybe less beer? Or fewer beers?

[VeritableSmorgasbord]

Less bees
Less bees
Less bee-age


Sorry, I've always wanted to do that on MN
hardly anyone says fewer and it is a LOVELY thing to see

[TalcAndTurnips]

Don't forget that for every one of those bees, there are six knees.

That's an awful lot of bees' knees.
