Tamesaint Posted 1 February, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..

trousers Posted 2 February, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 February, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 2 February, 2009 Share 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 .

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 February, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
