Bee hives

[drstitson]

"But your wild nest is probably just from a late swarm last year. I doubt it is some new race of bees which wants a small hive permanently but if you re-housed them they would probably be better off in a nuc to begin with."



lots of late swarms in late sept/ early October (of variable size).

Actually the 18" came about because when fitted with hinged adapter plates, they fit nicely into the standard 19" electronics racks and can be swung out for servicing.

It came about because a GPO engineer had lots of free rack space. It was before the speaking clock, but was the embryonic source of that infernal buzz on the line.

You surely must remember being out in the countryside in the summer and hearing the telephone lines singing in the breeze - that was just a cover story. The buzz came down the lines from those racks of honey bees.

I always find the simple answers to be the best. Meanwhile I will have to get back to freeing up that new Langstroth hive . . . hic.

I thought it was Busby???

Native British bees will look for the same size in Imperial Pints.
