Hello from sunny Burton on Trent!

Hi All,
Just came to browse but thought I may as well join and then I can ask a question or two that I have.
I have a colony of bees that have set up in a bird box on the side of my house.
I'm intrigued by their behaviour and tried to Google but found nothing.
Which part of the forum would I ask about bee behaviour?
I must just say,watching the bees is better than watching the tv.
