My late father in law was a shipwright from IOW (when ships were handcrafted in wood)

Our local authority permit bees with conditions
Only two hives per allotment site (not per allotment)
All hive owners must belong to local association and must have kept bees for at least two seasons
I have two sheds (both full as it's winter)
Have just bought one of my son's a container as I'm fed up with finding car bits in the house
I may just sneak a small corner of it.....
I would welcome any non p c beekeeper to help me get rid of the rats in my loft
I favour the blue rat food rather than the red for the hard to reach places
Ah well at least no sign of them in the bee sheds at the moment
Didn't the bee health advisors get given this type of test kit from the RBI so they could be tbe local first point of call
I think the project is on hold at present
Same in my bit of Hampshire
The only thing I've heard of locally is a plan to do a cut out in a stable bees reported to have taken up residence last year
I have suggested beekeeping forum tee shirts in the past
I may go to Cheltenham next week sellers only register on the day so no catalogue before hand it would appear
