Really pleased for you and the bees. not worthy

Thanks Moggs. We are all taught to keep honey cool and dark to stop it crystallizing etc but I have never really considered that it will lose its smell too. Obvious when I think about it! Oh well onwards and upwards :-)

Bit off topic I'm afraid but I have noticed that my own honey is also very fragrant. Does honey lose its fragrance over time? Doing a sniff test on shop bought and home grown honey shows a huge difference in strength of smell. Any reason? Or is it just down to the flowers?

not worthy;):)

Not really, he was only concerned about his own safety. He came outside very slowly saying "What the hell was that? Has it gone yet? Glad it was only after you!" Can you tell he's all man?!! ;)

I had one of these land on me at the weekend and I nearly wet myself with fright! I was dancing around trying to get it off with a brush that was covered in rabbit poo!! Now I know what it is I feel a bit of a plonker. Mind you my husband that was hiding behind the door and refusing to come...

Hives going into and out of 2010, disease, food given, treatments, honey taken. The usual questions I guess. Never had the questionnaire before. Think the covering letter said its been going on for years and they have been collecting data this way quite successfully. I have been selected...

Don't suppose you still have the envelope with the address on it do you? If so can you let me know what the address is? Is it just National Bee Unit, The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York, UK, YO41 1LZ?

Ah right! Have you seen my screen, its a very steep slope? Its pretty much on the vertical, don't think the bees would like it!! As said before they will go the direction they want to go. Consider temp (frost pocket), shade, any chance of flooding, wind direction if a factor.

Has anyone else had this letter requesting the completion of their survey? Reason I ask is because they did not include the reply paid envelope and I have no idea where to send back my response. Polite answers on a postcard please! ;)

Got an advert for Bacardi and Viagra I think!! Or that what happens when you mix the two; you get eggs?

Am I missing something? There is nothing on my screen apart from a picture of Tigger and some phone numbers. No trees or flowers!!!

What's wrong with two; I take 4 a day?

I am with the hoverfly theory...............http://www.gardensafari.net/english/hoverflies.htm

The cost, not having enough time or space, the moaning husband. Dealing with ignorant members of the public who don't know the difference between a honey bee and a bumble bee. Oh and everyone is apparently allergic to bee stings.

As the title says, is there anyone in the Horsham/Slinfold/BBH area that is around tomorrow to take a look at a colony in a house/roof? I promised I would take a look but forgot I am going to Take That concert tomorrow and I will be really struggling for time. I know its short notice, I was...

Solitary possibly?

Another tricky one! Another call for an awkward nest!! Just got these photos of a nest in a roof. They have gotta go because the building is being renovated. Any tips/suggestions/advice welcome. I believe that i am allowed to take it all apart because all the rotten wood is going. The...

Good idea! Will try that and in the mean time I have been told about a fellow beekeeper in our association that is also a builder. He may even get a job out of it because she said she wants to do the annex up and if someone started taking it apart that may give her the inclination to get it...
