I received notification yesterday of the Festival of Bees that will be held around the country this July. Suffering from lack of stimulation, normally provided by the BeeTradex and a trip to Harper Adams I looked at the list of of exhibitors for the show at the Bath and West showground and was...

I was intrigued by B&S honey bee brood boxes and the built in splitter. Having read a book by leming B. Thorsen -'An efficient Production of Bee Colonies', I was all set to purchase several. Unfortunately they are sold out at present. Does anyone know of a supplier of a comparible product?

I believe it is illegal to move foxes in the K. Like grey squirrels they are vermin. The laws apply equally to the RSPCA and animal rescue places. Tiggywinkles the wildlife hospital in out village have been quietly warned about releasing foxes.

Checked all the hives for the TherapBee Project on Saturday along with 2 outlying apiaries. Today, Sunday checked the rest of my hives. All doing well. One hive absolutely bursting at the seams. I have never seen so many bees in a hive in April. They are in a 14x12 but I think I hade better go...

Honey bees out competing other pollinators is not a good arguement. Most pollinators have differing adaptations for forageing. For instance honey bees do not have a long enough tongue to feed on some varieties of beans. Some insects are plant specific. With a mix of forage plants there is enogh...

Yes I cannot get postage to the UK when you check out. We have been removed!!!

Hi Paul they no longer list the UK as an eligible country!!!!

14 degrees here today. All my girls flying well and feeding on Blackthorn,

Woke up to 2 inches of snow at 06:30 hrs. All gone by 09:30hrs

Where is the local branch of Beekeepers anonymous, please???

Thanks Martin that is good to know. The talk was about the lack of forage, particularly in Central London, and the speaker gave this example from his own experience. was not sure if he meant 4 miles each way but was suprised at the time at the distance quoted.

Sorry London
