Hive spotting this weekend

[Ely]

I agree. Seems ridiculous. Lets start a spot the porche site. Let all the criminals know. Dickheads

Seems to be a man called Terry Howell: https://twitter.com/@myriadoptima

Looks like a publicity bid for his commercial geo mapping company. All the signs of a bright idea without thinking about the consequences.

The twitter stream was last active about 15 hours ago. Could be about the time he received several angry emails.

Well he's got one from me, lol

 

[Easy Beesy]

So does he even know what a hive is? Take the kids hive-spotting? What a stupid suggestion.

 

[Little John]

About as sensible as "coo-look-someone's-left-a-downstairs-window-open-while-they've-gone-to-the-shops ... spotting", or "I-know-someone-who-leaves-his-shed-unlocked-with-a-motor-mower-inside ... spotting".

Maybe it's "Support your local unemployed neighbourhood thief" week ?

 

[Gilberdyke John]

Oh yes - hadn't read the middle pages. Have contacted him. Seems to think hives are a naturally occurring phenomenon...

Probably built by carpenter bees

Bee hive spotting..........??????


Dysentry?



The web site has swarmed...

It was the confusion at Asda's 300 hives.

Crap idea, crap developer.
Site map does not work unless it has a disliking to OS X!

[user 382]

I posted an email to the site owner stating concerns of vandalism and theft and received the following response:

I was trying to help boost young interest in bees and there importance. I had sent emails to a number of bee keeping organisations stating the intention and got nothing back.​

​

I have taken the site down.​

​

Apologies.​

[VEG]

I posted on his twitter page and thanked him for taking it down

 

[Mike a]

I posted an email to the site owner stating concerns of vandalism and theft and received the following response:

I did the same and got the exact same reply. When I checked it was still active but I suspect he is currently sending out lots of replies at the moment.

 

[VEG]

It is down now

Bugger - a friend of mine - Wayne Kerr had a few hives he wanted posted!

 

[Haughton Honey]

At least he had the decency to do the right thing.
