They cut the wands squad due to budget constraints.

Sorry, I should rephrase that.

Datganiad y cŵn gyda gwenyn yn eu cegau, a phan fyddant yn rhisgl fyddant saethu gwenyn ar chi.

Since the Welsh make jelly, maybe they should use that. I would think grape would work best, but who knows.

Google translate put it even more succinctly:

Gallai Treftadaeth y parc yn defnyddio penaethiaid gwenyn i weithredu fel ataliad i atal ymosodiadau fandaliaeth ar adeiladau hanesyddol.

Maent yn chwilio am ffyrdd cynaliadwy i ddiogelu adeiladau hen felin yn Greenfield Valley Heritage Park, ger Treffynnon, Sir y Fflint.

Un syniad a gyflwynwyd eisoes yn cael ei ddefnyddio gwenyn i atal pobl rhag mynd i mewn i'r adeiladau a ddiogelir.

Mae cais cynllunio ar fin cael ei gyflwyno i'r cyngor Sir y Fflint i godi ffens o amgylch rhai o'r safleoedd.

Mae ardal o amgylch Greenfield Mill wedi cau yr haf diwethaf oherwydd pryderon yr oedd mewn cyflwr peryglus, gyda llwybrau troed o amgylch hefyd ar gau i gerddwyr.
Parhau i ddarllen y stori prif
"Dyfyniad Dechrau

Nid wyf wedi clywed amdanynt yn cael ei ddefnyddio fel gwenyn diogelwch "

Cymdeithas Diwedd Dyfyniad Barbara Chick Gwenynwyr Cymru

Dywedodd rheolwr y Parc Chris Wright y dirywiad yn rhannol oherwydd oedran yn ogystal ag ymosodiadau fandaliaeth.

Dywedodd y byddai'n anodd i rwystro pobl benderfynol o fynd i mewn i adeiladau ar y safle cyhoeddus mynediad am ddim, gan wneud y syniad i ddefnyddio gwenyn 'ymddangos yn synhwyrol ".

Mae'n gobeithio gallai grŵp cadw gwenyn yn defnyddio'r tir i gynhyrchu mêl, gyda'r gwenyn eu hunain yn helpu i beillio dolydd blodau gwyllt a allai hefyd gael eu creu yn yr ardal.
Materion diogelwch

"Fe allen nhw fod yn arf ataliol," meddai Barbara Chick, swyddog cyhoeddusrwydd ar gyfer y Gymdeithas Gwenynwyr Cymru.

"Dydw i ddim wedi clywed amdanynt yn cael ei ddefnyddio fel gwenyn diogelwch."

Fodd bynnag, nododd y gall fod materion iechyd a diogelwch os bydd rhywun yn pigo a dywedodd na fyddai'n cytuno i eu defnyddio fel mesur diogelwch.
Bee cwch gwenyn Y syniad yw defnyddio'r gwenyn fel arf ataliol diogelwch a gwerthu mêl yn caffi y parc newydd

Caniatâd cynllunio i godi ffens o amgylch Maes-glas Mill yn cael ei geisio i ganiatáu i ailagor llwybrau tra bod trafodaethau yn parhau am sut i atal y dirywiad pellach o adeiladau, tra bod rheoli a hybu bywyd gwyllt o'u cwmpas.

Dywedodd Mr Wright y prif fater oedd bob amser wedi cael cydbwysedd rhwng yr amgylchedd a bywyd gwyllt ar un llaw a phryderon hanesyddol a diwydiannol ar y llall.

Dywedodd lluniau o'r awyr heb ei orchuddio yn ddiweddar, yn dyddio o'r 1930au yn dangos ychydig o fflora a ffawna, ond heddiw y safle cyfan wedi ei orchuddio mewn coed a llystyfiant.

Ac mae wedi bod prawf o dyfrgwn ddefnyddio'r cwrs dwr a phyllau sy'n gwasanaethu'r hen melinau yn y cwm yn agos at Santes Gwenffrewi ffynnon sanctaidd, yn ogystal â gweld o gwyddwalch ac adar ysglyfaethus eraill.

Mae'r 70-erw (28 hectar) treftadaeth parc, sy'n cynnwys amgueddfa a fferm, yn eiddo i Sir y Fflint cyngor a reolir gan yr ymddiriedolwyr o Ymddiriedolaeth Dyffryn Maes Glas.

Honestly, I like bees. Bees are cool. If I see one, I go over and check it out. Haven't been stung in decades. Hornets and wasps I give more space, but bees are the bees knees.

It worked for me.

I had a hive of aggressive Africanized honeybees moved into the back walls of my house, I tried everything in the book to get rid of them but they stayed put.

Some neighbor kids tried to break in, pissed off the bees and got stung about a dozen times.

\\\ Groovy.

Will the hives be located in the old buildings?

Why not Honey Badgers? It sounds just as reasonable, safe and effective as the bees.

I'm really into urban exploration, and have no problems with dodging security, barbed wire, and alarms. However I was once about to jump a fence when I read a "Danger, Live Bees!" warning on it, said fence was not jumped.

They could go with wasps too and reduce the general bug population at the same time.
