Using queen bee pheromones, the billboard attracted 100,000 bees from a local honey farm to form a buzzing SOS for England's dwindling bee population (which has halved in the last 20 years). The bees remained for about an hour. The winery says they will be donating five pence from every bottle sale of a new "Plan Bee" line of wines.

And they "appeal to the ancient Russian roots" as the "word 'beautiful' comes from the word 'red' and the apple has long been considered a symbol of energy and life."
