Nice work if you can get it


The experience of bees is probably easier than the keeping of bees!

Pollination station: our Blackburn Meadows energy plant is abuzz with new neighbours

Bee-washing story from E.ON: https://news.eonenergy.com/news/pollination-station-our-blackburn-meadows-energy-plant-is-abuzz-with-new-neighbours 

A pity the copywriter didn't go full throttle for the bee wordage. For example: A new building has joined E.ON’s design award-winning Blackburn Meadows renewable energy park – but while this one is also a real hive of activity, it won’t be dominating the Sheffield skyline as much. That’s because the biomass (or should that be bee-omas?) power station has welcomed its first hives, giving thousands of pollinators a home as part of its work to support the local environment.
