As well as being a big organisation, the Co-op also happen to be the biggest farmer in the UK.

I guess they intend to keep farming in the future. This is great news, but I hope they can find even more money for research. Bees are important.

A small example - I started my broad beans early in my greenhouse and shut the door to keep the warmth in. The flowers came - but then they just fell off. Bad times. Then I started keeping the door open during the day, the bees came in and my beans have set. Good times!

Is that too geeky?
