The short life span is only when they work themselves to death during the nectar collection period, if they are not doing this they live for more than a year.

Lyle’s Golden Syrup

Lyle’s Golden Syrup was officially recognised by Guinness World Records in 2006 as being Britain’s oldest brand and having the world's oldest branding and packaging. The brand was sold by Tate & Lyle in 2010 to American Sugar Refining, though it still comes packaged in the same green and gold (and tricky to open without making a sticky mess) tins.

The Camorra (Italian: [kaˈmɔrra];

Neapolitan: [kaˈmorrə]) is an Italian Mafia-type[4] criminal organization and criminal society originating in the region of Campania. It is one of the oldest and largest criminal organizations in Italy, dating to the 17th century. The Camorra's organizational structure is divided into individual groups called "clans". Every capo or "boss" is the head of a clan, in which there may be tens or hundreds of affiliates, depending on the clan's power and structure. The Camorra's main businesses are drug trafficking, racketeering, counterfeiting, and money laundering. It is also not unusual for Camorra clans to infiltrate the politics of their respective areas.
