“This play is about bees – who are right on the brink at the moment environmentally. In some parts of the world, there are 50% fewer bees… this will have a severe impact on our diet as a third of what we eat needs to be pollinated. The play, which has much comedy in it too, looks at how bees organise themselves including how they select the Queen Bee and then decide when she is past her sell by date and kill her. The ruthlessness is Shakespearian – it’s fascinating.” - Evening Argus

What lies between the honey and the sting?
