Libel - in law, I understand that an absolute defence against a charge of libel is that the statement that was made was truthful.

Well, you have to prove that the opposite is not true, ie prove your position, but there are exceptions.

I don't have a problem with it per se, but a url is not a username, so it should not be alloewed. SHould be allowed in profile and of course commercial areas of the forum.

In word BeeNice. No. LOL

Admin, I fully agree with Rab on this one, if they are deliberately trying to flout the rules on advertising then oot the door with them please.

I've now wasted my time reading this on-going battle of opinions, if it's the case of free advertising on this site and not beekeeping help, then DOES ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOME SCUBA DIVING T-SHIRTS.
Keep this site as a help to beekeepers and NOT a battle of words. Going to see if there is any advice that will be useful to me now...

There may be some beekeepers near me that need scuba kit following the rain here in Cornwall this week!

Not that I advocate it but unless we have a 'free for all' there will always be a battle of words on this site. The site I believe is not just a receptacle for gleaning advice, it should also be available to discuss (hopefully with a smile) issues however obscure that we come across and relating in some way to bees and beekeeping ?
I love the way this forum runs and commend Admin for his light touch (Oooh matron)!
Sorry it’s Friday and I am in a good mood and also desperate to stop being glued to this sodding computer.
Have a great weekend and hope the sun shines on your hives.

Ok, lets discuss the war with the Afgans and see whether there beekeeping is being interrupted by the bombings!

Imagine the activity at the hive entrance if some Afghani was to put a couple of hives close to a busy main road and put up a sign saying "HONEY".

Well give me credit for trying at least. I put this one under severe pressure but they refused to comment.

Going to www.britishbeehives.com should not pose any problems.

If you go to www.british beehives.co.uk it tries to redirect you to https://british beehives.co.uk - note the "s" in https.

https = a secure site, as you would expect from a page dealing with financial transactions etc. Each of these sites has a security certificate associated with it proving it is who it says it is, and the certificate declares the name of the site it is associated with. Any other site calling it will generate errors in your browser

In this case, the security certificate is associated with the url www.britishbeehives.com - note .com, not .co.uk. So when you enter in www.british beehives.co.uk which gets automatically redirected to https://www.british beehives.co.uk the browser looks at the certificate, sees its for a dirrent URL (the .com) and throws up an error.

Nothing to be concerned about in this case, but britishbeehives either need to remove the https: in the redirection or point it to https://www.britishbeehives.com

So, to answer Queens question , in this particular case you are quite OK to proceed onto the site, this is not normally the case when you see that error though. If in doubt go to www.britshbeehives.com

Admin,

Should this be stopped ?

An alternative might be a pay, but without any endorsement by the forum

Regards, RAB

As it stands the server fees are a little over what we are getting in donations,I think this should reverse over the next 12 months and there will be some money left over.

I am more than happy to keep thing's as they are,as the plan from day one was to collect zero money from advertisers to keep the forum unbiased.

I was offered £500 from a company and I turned it down.

The reason was because even if they never advertised I could of had my arm twisted to delete any negative posts they got at times.

As long as we cover the server fees I am happy to continue as we are.

And missed out an "i" to be doubly sure the link doesn't work!

Sorry - couldn't resist the leg pull.

But hasn't this Thread got legs? Can't be much happening in the real beekeeping world now our charges have more or less retired for the year. Is this the beekeeping equivalent of the Silly Season?
