Charlotte Smith hears why queen bees from the Isle of Mann may save others by being posted to the mainland, how a British MEP has won backing to slash the red tape farmers have to go through to please Europe and why fingers are pointed at the Rural Payments Agency to stomach a large share of any cuts DEFRA faces. Meanwhile farmers in the East Midlands are herding their sheep through brain scanners in the name of science. Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
