Fewer bees

[Dawndonna]

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

Nope.

Clue: Boulder Crustacean

How many bees are there?

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

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?

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

Good grief runaway that's clever!

Talc I do hope you're a crossword compiler!

Many - fewer
Much - less

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

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

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

Ahhhh.... I missed the clue too.

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.

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

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

Brilliant, Talc

talc. You are a genius.

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

Bees > Honey > Mead.

I think that says it all.

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

And a wonderful PM it was, too. Bzzzz.
