Reading Honey & Dust by Piers Moore Ede, he says that in areas of France they site bees over underground water sources, and that the bees do 3 times as well as others sited locally but die quicker and are a bit bad tempered.
So having gone round the garden with a dowsing rod and found 2 active spots...do I spend the winter persuading my FinL to let me have a hive on the edge of the back lawn and risk it, laugh at the thought or am I cracking up under bee stress??
