I happened upon this quote from a Doctor Who book, while looking up bees online. It made me smile.

“Like all good youngsters on Gallifrey, the Doctor had been brought up with a strong awareness of how little other species new about… anything and how they usually shouldn’t been told about, well… anything, because most of the information a Time Lord might be able to offer them would at least make them retire to the country and keep bees - should their planet have bees, or similar life forms - if not actually drive them irreversibly insane.” ~From The Drosten’s Curse, by A. L. Kennedy.

Now we can all keep bees- on our hands, with these snuggly mitts.
