Flowers are losing their scent.

The Independent's Environment/Nature Column has a story why pollution is stifling the fragance of plants and preventing bees from pollinating them endangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, writes Geoffrey Lean.  

Driving around this area you can still smell all the flowering trees and the scent is intense.   I always buy the most fragrant flowers I can find so this is very upsetting.  Over the years there was always the danger of getting stung by bees but not so much anymore.
