🐝 Are bees the secret to a longer life?

The internet is full of bold claims, but are any of them true?

In BBC Radio 4’s 'More or Less', Dr Ramsay Bowden, Clinical Geneticist and a Fellow at Jesus College, takes a closer look at the buzz around bees and longevity, helping listeners sort the science from the speculation.

Tim Harford investigates regional inequality, migrant costs, donkey donations and honey.

The horse has had a makeover, in time for the start of term.

Conservators gave the iconic 'Bronze Horse' (1983) by Barry Flanagan the equivalent of a full service spa treatment - thoroughly cleaning it and applying a chemical patina to remove signs of weathering and darken the surface to how it would have originally looked when it left the foundry.

They then applied a dark brown tinted hot wax treatment to unify the appearance and offer some protection from the elements.

With thanks to Barry Flanagan Estate.
