Am I correct in thinking that honey 'never' actually goes off and will remain edible for pretty much ever, due to its anti bacterial properties? Anyone tested that..? 😆

Just happened to catch this little one leaving!

Not a lot of activity this morning but I did see one bee - see video. A very small one; there have been bigger ones.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on any activity and in the meanwhile I'll try to get some pics to identify them, so I know what to do. The gap underneath the bottom shelf is only a few millimetres from the ground (or rather, the metal frame is, where the MDF shelf rests on), so I have no way of seeing...

Thank you, I have done exactly that so far. They enter the garage through the small gap underneath the garage door, which I do occasionally need to open and use myself, which seems to temporarily confuse them a little! They've always come back so far :)

Now I'm back home I'll have a look tomorrow if there's still activity, and try to take some pictures (or a video, but my phone keeps complaining when I try to take them... 😤)

Sorry for the delay, I ended up away from home, ran out of data, and without the WiFi I was promised... I tried to attach a short video which failed, but this is one frame of it. Definitely not wasps, but I did notice different sizes of bees 🤔

I wasn't sure where to post my questions, but since I'm not a beekeeper (yet - or am I? 😆), and since I'm new to the forum, this is probably as good a place as any. So, I've been having some visitors in my garage - that's what my questions relate to. I love seeing wildlife in my garden and...

Thank you! I can imagine that there are lots of people who are unable for numerous reasons to keep bees themselves, but would get a lot of joy from getting involved. I'm thinking that I wouldn't be allowed to keep bees myself, but I know that someone who keeps bees made an attempt to have a hive...

Thanks very much - I've never looked into the possibility of getting into beekeeping, but if there are associations that sounds like a great way of getting into it!

Thank you! Beekeeping isn't something I've considered possible for me at all, but it actually sounds like a very interesting past time, and above all it seems more and more important nowadays to give nature a helping hand and encourage any pollinators!

Hello everyone. I almost feel like a bit of a fraud signing up as a member and doing the official introduction, while I'm not a bee keeper and don't have the ability to start keeping bees at home. I would need to check the Deeds of our property, but I think there may be something mentioned in...
