Incredible... how long had they been in there... very late in the season for a swarm... so far North?

Keep us all posted!

They had noticed a month ago....

Since removing, I produced the report and sent it to the manager who replied...

Thanks for the email, always nice to hear things like this i will probably pass your details over to the British Holiday and Homes Parks Association as they have doing reports on Honey Bees and I think you might get some publicity from it :0)

then another reply yesterday.....

Hi Martyn,


Hope you are well, just a quick update had an email from the BHCP see below.... Also we had a tweet on our page from BBC Countryfile as well Smile

and today.......

Good Morning Andrew,

Many thanks for your email regarding the Honey Bees and sharing this information with us.

I have forwarded your email onto David Bellamy’s office as I think he would be very interested in this too.

Never say "never"!

// But it was rather a big bird box ...

It was, the entry hole was fit for a small bird, but the box would have done a magpie... lol

the change in colour of the box was down to the flash at night (dark)
