Ouch ouch! I have been stung like, a thousand squillion times today! These bees are everywhere!!! I’m starting to think Shelley got them just to sting us. Or me, at least – Jemima says she hasn’t been stung once! I don’t believe her really because they sting me all the time. Maybe Shelley has made them so they only like to sting boys.
We used Fred to go back in time and talk to Gregor Mendel. He was pretty weird for a monk, but he told us a lot about how you can breed living things to make them how you want – he told us about the beans he worked with, and how he could make beans that were yellow or green depending on which parent beans he chose. He was trying to do the same thing with bees too but he made really angry super-bees that stung too much.
Jemima reckons Shelley is probably doing the same thing. We forgot to ask Mr. Mendel how he killed the bees but now that we know they’re dangerous we have to stop Shelley. If you can figure anything out from the talk we had with Mr. Mendel, let us know. We recorded it and you can listen to it below.
