And in what manner would you like to defend the latest round of so called vaccines ? have you kept up to speed with the science on the subject matter, clearly not. And crackpot I clearly am not. As for climate change and it's ridiculous crackpot lefty nonsense, spaffing the nations wealth on...

Is there some evidence there of chalkbrood ? clearly not a healthy colony. Makes you wonder if there was queen loss and the bees smart enough to realise it a lost cause so abandoning. How long had you had this line of bees and what was the progeny of the queen/queens ? That mite drop on the...

One thing for sure, they will not consult us on their decision making.They are much smarter than we.

Some years back the then competent lads dropped off a gully cleaner for me, they are custom made and very simple but do the job, they clearly knew what the future would bring. A ways down the road from me there is a huge flood alleviation project on the go. The gullies up brew from it are...

Time the shortest of commodities

Spent years doing similar with no help from others equally effected. Once I am gone it is unlikely anyone will know where the old drainage is located
