Filling a bee space

If ever there was a gratuitous picture of a bee beard, here it is. The story is about a study by Professor Michael Stacey of the University of Western Australia in which some patients at Freemantle hospital are having their wounds treated with a special mixture of honey and sandalwood oil.

I'm trying to spot whether these honey dressings for wounds stories are a reflection of increasing activity in the field or increasing coordinated or uncoordinated media interest.
