Octopuses trying to save our Bees – watch the video.

My son Adam Bell’s Brighton-based band Octopuses are releasing their new video today, Not The Bees, which is a witty, characteristically zany and rather beautiful song about, yes, bees. Behind the humour is a serious issues, the dramatic decline in our bee population. The song is a potent mix and one that has received support from Britain’s Green party leader Caroline Lucas and from the BBC’s popular natural historian, Chris Packham. For what it’s worth, I support them too – but don’t just take Wolfie’s word for it, take a look for yourselves:

Hello there

I am writing in regards to the new single from Octopuses titled ‘Not The Bees’.

Octopuses are a psych-pop band from Brighton that have seen success in being played multiple times on BBC 6music by Tom Ravenscroft and Steve Lamacq. Last November they released their debut album ‘Yes Please’ on Lick Music.

The band have created a video for the single which highlights the modern plight of bees. The video has been backed with “overwhelming support” from Caroline Lucas and the Green Party. It is being shared on social media on 12th of September by lots of figure heads in conservation which include Caroline Lucas, BBC’sChris Packham, The Soil Association, Sussex Wildlife Trust and around 50 other environmental freelance journalists and organisations.
