Tamesaint Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 I read an interesting article the other day about the current plight of the Honeybee which made me draw comparisons between the Honeybee and Saints. The Honeybee is having a hard time at the moment and is facing a battle for survival. So are we. The Honeybee lives in a hierarchical society with an autocratic leader at its centre. So do we. Interestingly , if the male worker bees in the hive decide that they want to change their leader ,they simply rebel and force the leader out. The leader simply leaves the hive. So at Saints all we are doing is simply recreating Nature. Our march and other protests are just us doing what Nature intends. The best bit is that the bees always win. . . there is no way that an unpopular leader can stay in a dominant position in the hive. Lowe is going to have to defy Nature to stay in post.... and even he cannot do that.

I have noticed that the bees are winning more than we ever do by a country mile.......All down to Bennett and of course the other honeybees help..

Tamesaint Posted 1 February, 2009 Author Posted 1 February, 2009 Its about time Lowe and Wilde buzzed off, the fans are now swarming against them. Perhaps they want to be known as the Honey Monsters!!!
trousers Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 Come on people...beehive will you? (hark...is that the sound of a grown man fetching his coat I can hear?) P.s. Like the analogy by the way. Eerily accurate!

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 So! apart from us not following nature (our 'Queen' bee is anything but democratic and will not bow to the wishes of the 'flat cap' masses (workers)) what do you think might happen in the Apiary today?
David Strover Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 Interestingly , if the male worker bees in the hive decide that they want to change their leader ,they simply rebel and force the leader out. All worker bees are non- reproductive females. Male bees or drones are simply there for reproduction and die after mating.
St_Tel49 Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 All worker bees are non- reproductive females. Male bees or drones are simply there for reproduction and die after mating. Whoops - I hope none of the demonstrators had nookie on Saturday evening then ;-)
bridge too far Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 A hive of activity on this thread, I see
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 The snow has affected our Canteen, only honey glazed sunburnt breast of chicken salad available today. No wonder the workers are up in arms. It's Madness I tells yer! Better get my car tuned up for a trip to Maccy Ds.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 To bee or not to bee , that is the question ; whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of an outragerous overdraft , or to take arms against a sea of Ruperts , and by opposing end up in Administration .
trousers Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 A hive of activity on this thread, I see We're all too exhaust-ed
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 We're all too exhaust-ed I see you've tuned in to our wavelength then. Hive an idea that others will soon get the buzz about what's happening. As to our previous manager? I wish Jan speed in finding new employment. Oh! did you read Lord Marland's comments about ineptitude in sports clubs' boardrooms? What's good for the goose is good for the duck I say. Perhaps Woops needs a word to the wise in his shel(drake) like?
