Privet seems to flower at the same time, I bet a large proportion of the London flow is privet too. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Yes, Richard Dawkins does. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bin-laden-has-won-they-confiscated-my-honey-outspoken-academic-richard-dawkins-in-airline-security-twitter-row-over-jar-of-honey-8919618.html

Hi all, I am looking to buy around 50 - 100 lbs of unextracted honey (not too far from London) and I can return the extracted frames. Would you be interested? If so please PM me. Thanks Joseph.

Quite right, which is why I have yet to meet an educated atheist who believes there is no God. They tend to believe there is no evidence for one or no compelling reason to believe in one.

Redwood, I suppose it is quite pointless to engage in a link trade. Here, http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/abioprob.html But I have already mentioned the problem of the first replicating life form to say that that has absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with evolution. In...

Yup, it has survived and is strong despite the controversy regarding the way some of the experimentation was done originally. http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2012/02/selective-bird.html

Re-created what? evolution itself? as in seen evolution occur in the lab? yes as per William Rice and G.W. Salt with fruit flies who could no longer breed with each other after Speciation. But I suspect you mean something else. Evolution is not an explanation for the big bang and not for...

Absolutely! Read this from Darwin in the Origin. "As far as instinct alone is concerned, the wonderful difference in this respect between the workers and the perfect females would have been better exemplified by the hive-bee. If a working ant or other neuter insect had been an ordinary animal...

Most living things do not have eyes, bacteria for a start, I remember being taught by a lecturer at college that there are more bacteria in a fist size clump of earth than there ever were humans on this earth and that proves nothing. Vestigial organs are obsolete organs that a species has...

Why thank you, it becomes second nature after a while.. Redwood, I really don't mean you here, but I think it very wrong when people dismiss hard earned science with a mere hand gesture saying "There are two sides here" not even bothering to look at the evidence which is absolutely overwhelming...

According to kin selection theory that is not required for eusociality to arise, because bees being haploidiploid they are more closely related to their sisters 0.75/1 than to their daughters 0.5/1 in the absence of polyandry, and so they spread more of their own genes through working for a...

Wilson is involved in a raging debate on the very topic raised by this post. The question is not really what came first, as experiments have shown that solitary bees will work cooperatively when forced to do so and the simple chicken egg question is hardly a valid one according to evolutionary...

A few weeks back I opened one of my colonies on a roof in London to check for a mated queen's brood, I noticed a number of bees under the floor and sure enough there she was and away she flew. I removed the floor completely and propped the hive up on a three sided eke directly on the roof...

I have seen bees on Privet this year, I was not aware of the fact that the honey is not very nice. But I guess the customers don't complain when there is some privet in a polyfloral honey.

Thank you very much for posting this, and do get well soon!

Why don't you qive them a frame with eggs from the nuc so that they can raise a queen?
