Boddington Bees

Have you ever noticed that the Boddingtons logo features a pair of bees? I'd vaguely spotted them before, but until earlier today, when someone pointed it out while buying one, it hadn't occurred to me that they're pretty incongruous. What association with bees does Boddingtons have? The only other beer with bees in its logo I know of uses honey as an ingredient (and is much tastier than Boddingtons).

The boring explanation is probably that the Boddingtons company colours have always been black and yellow, or something. Why those colours? We just don't know. But I'd like to think that it's actually a bad pun on the Poddington Peas.
