I think I have been struck down with dylsexia in my declining years. Just read the heading of this thread as "Do you need to carry a pigeon ?"

Happy Birthday from the depths of Sherwood Forest. :party: :party-smiley-050: :cheers2:

It's mild up here too. Plenty of (yellow/orange) pollen gathering going on. There are still plenty of native species in flower - daisy, dandelion, bramble, white nettle, ragwort so guess it's not only the bees that don't believe it is yet winter. Still some H Balsam at edges of forest too...

A wasps nest would be better. They can sting and sting again without dying.:reddevil:

Not a bad comparison. Some beekeepers used to "talk" the bees in. A few still do. Much underated practice but not one in this day and age that it is recommended you admit to unless you want those who do not believe to make fun of you.

The police investigation will probably be centred on the criminal damage to property (9 hives destroyed with a value of £3500) and taking of a vehicle without owners consent. The type of livestock involved shouldn't really come into it.

I would block the hive off from the dog especially as he's large and lively - no point getting the hive knocked over. One of my dogs had to be rushed to the vet as an emergency after getting stung. He collapsed and went into shock. The dog is black but he wasn't attacked by bees indeed they...

No need milkermel. Yes killing is supposed to be humane. I can only assume you have never watched a terrier kill a rat to make the claim it is not. The rat is dead in seconds. Far preferable to the slow lingering death caused by poisons most of which cause the animal to bleed to death slowly...

Drowning is a horrible slow and terrifying death for any creature. :( Law requires measures to be taken to keep down rats / mice but I let my terrier sort out the ones caught in live catch traps. Very quick.

As with everything the cost will come down to what the market will bear. People do shop around. In the case of live merchandise may also be favouring a local supplier to cut travel time and cost . People who are not jumping in head first also tend to buy on the basis of recommendation from...
