Bees get death-by-pesticide funeral in Paris

Paris: Beekeepers and environmental activists have staged a mock funeral in Paris for bees, to protest against the pesticides they say are killing insects crucial for the eco-system.

Some protesters, wearing beekepers masks and overalls, lay motionless in coffins while others stood, heads bowed in respect as a bugle played during the ceremony on a patch of garden near the Les Invalides museum on Thursday.
