If only it were that simple :D

Very well. Currently building an eco box for the skep housing. I also have another hive option that I'm exploring but I shan't divulge that one just yet. I'm booked to attend Chris Park's skep beekeeping course in July in the positively balmy Swindon :) I've also decided to become a mead...

Love it 😊

Yes, I think this is excellent. Thank you. There are a lot of factors involved. I guess it's akin to plopping a bunch of us in the wild and expecting us to thrive/survive :D Many probably wouldn't make it past the first few days...

I'd be very interested to read your book!

Thank you!

Wow!

You’re absolutely right, I wasn’t planning on attending the skep making course as I’m absolutely shocking at anything remotely technical or creative and I also have zero time (us middle class eco fashionistas are terribly busy reading Guardian articles these days). I do very much appreciate you...

Yep, that's the main reason I joined.

Interesting analysis. Yes, I’ve heard there’s a massive dropout rate.

What’s an STB?

That's so lovely, thank you! My daughter loves Eeyore so now she wants me to get this hive :D

I'm gonna let you go ahead and google that. Love it!

Are you a parody account?

Just read this. I like his style. Thanks for sharing. Rose hive looks interesting. https://www.highlandtitles.com/blog/beekeeping-interview-tim-rowe/

Oh, there certainly is a movement. You may not like it but it's there and it's growing. Whether it lasts, I don't know. LOL "something you failed to grasp" ok dude. I haven't come across that. I'll go look it up right now. THANK YOU!
