Sloes are best picked after the frost. There are lots about hear this year good luck

unfortunately they have a cost at the moment feed + extra equipment, and yes they should of gone to an out apery but that has more hives than my garden... but the point is why do people think it is ok to dump or abandon bees any other living creature and the police/rspca ect will prosecute it...
