Highlights the risks we take by importing stuff if nothing else.
Wonder why we can't produce bumble bees
I would have thought there was no need for importing
Economies of scale, lack of enterprise? Should be room for a cottage industry I'd have thought.

crop research tends to use bluebottles - using maggots obtained from fishing tackle shops and letting them pupate.
Hi Grizzly
Bluebottles ? now there's a thing. I never knew they did any pollinating
I just thought they flew around looking for things to be sick on
It's a long time since I did any coarse fishing but we used to have Gozzers and Pinkys I seem to remember
Then the pupa were casters all very useful baits
No wonder they were so dear if the crop research chaps were snapping them all up
In the end you could buy them in dispensing machines in some petrol stations
Happy Days
