    DNA Research into 'unique' Welsh Bees?

    Natural England article on 'Non/Native' bees?

    Ah, now I think I am beginning to understand. Rabbits are an even more recent introduction (introduced by the Normans in their Wisdom) so perhaps it has been Natural England that introduced rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus type 2 (RHDV2) (another northern French idea) having failed with mixie...

    Glass Crown Board to observe bees in winter

    The ones in my pictures above are made from 20mm x 44mm batten. One side has a bee space, the other ~35mm. Bee space side down in summer, bee space side up in winter, leaving enough room underneath for a slab of fondant.

    Glass Crown Board to observe bees in winter

    I experimented. 3mm too flimsy, 6mm too thick but 4mm seems to me in the Goldilocks zone. For all the hassle foregone, the little extra cost of having them cut to size makes life a great deal easier. I order online pieces cut to 430mm x 430mm then make up 460mm x 460mm frames for them
