Help moving our hive in southend

[jenkinsbrynmair]

No ... its been moved now ... half in Avon and half in that other place ...

And as Avon is a Welsh name - and Bristol's heritage relied heavily on Welsh influence - maybe we should claim that as well

Well it's not in Wales as you drive quite a long way to the welsh welcome sign.....it's in Gloucestershire....apparently.......but the bees were beginning to get out whilst driving through Wiltshire. Must have been a penny per bee......look after your pennies and the pounds will look after themselves!
Good luck with your move....

It must have been moved again then ... no wonder the tolls are so high with all the dismantling and rebuilding costs !

And as Avon is a Welsh name.......

I thought it was an intergalactic name, imported from the "Blake's Seven" documentaries.

Hi Holly
I have a out apariy going near you just off the A130 if you are interested? pm me if you are

 

[HollyBee]

Thank you Thurrock bees. Rat catcher has also offered to help. Think I will feel more confident with someone around who knows what they are doing

I have ordered ratchet ties so hope they arrive tomorrow. Thinking of tying then and blocking them up Tuesday night for relocation Wednesday morning. Does that sound ok?

I know I need foam to block the front up but not sure where to get that, any advise?

Craft shop (hobbycraft) - expensive though. Any upholstering type businesses near you? tell them what it's for, and as you only need scraps you'll probably get it buckshee. You only need a little bit

I found some old cushions from a settee in a skip, and cut lengths out of them,
think you'll find thurrock bees was offering you an out apiary rather than a helping hand

Funnily enough you also have to drive quite a while before you get to the 'welcome to England' sign as well - they're welcome to it anyway

 

[HollyBee]

Well i have the foam now and the straps fingers crossed we are all ready to go

 

[ratcatcher]

was nice to meet both you and your husband, I thought the move went well, how are the bees settling in at their new home, hope all goes well

 

[HollyBee]

We have internet again

Thank you so much for your help. The bees settled by the evening and seem to be orientation well.
