where have all the bees gone?

u.k.'s the bees released octopus, a soulful throwback to 60's pop & one of my favorite albums of the year, back in march...but when it was released stateside a few months later, the name on the cover had been changed to a band of bees...presumably so they wouldn't be confused with a nashville group who also went by the bees, & actually released one of my favorite albums of last year, a pretty straight take on 70's soft rock called high society...well, now those latter bees have gone & rereleased high society (unchanged) under their new name, the silver seas...so i guess, at least in the u.s., there are no more bees, just a band of bees & a band formely known as the bees...whatever, they both sound great.
