Bees are becoming rare in Northern Europe due to weather and excessive pesticide use.
In the Netherlands there is proportional representation, so minority political parties get more power. As well as a Green/Left political party (GroenLinks) there is also a party for animals ( Partij van de Dieren) who have set up a bee hotel near a pond by Den Haag (the sort of place where the Dutch would plant flowers everywhere, so its cool for bees). but it is also placed so Mark Rutte (the current PM, who is in a centre right party) cannot avoid looking at these bees whenever he is at work, unless he sits in semi darkness with the shutters pulled down :laugh_at:
