Offer of a very desirable and secure apiary near Woodstock Oxon

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Got chatting with a gentleman at the RWAS spring fair last Saturday, he's offered an apiary site on his farm near Woodstock and thus far no response. He has a thousand acres in total but the part which is more interesting is he has twenty acres or so laid to wildflowers which is where he would like to see an apiary. He mentioned he has pretty tight security and he's Welsh which is another bonus.
If anyone is interested please PM me and I can pass your details on to him.

To whom has he offered it so far? I don't mean names, I mean how has he tried to contact local beeks? I can think of a couple of people who might be interested

Well done JBM.
Similar to a situation where I have an apiary. The farmer had put is name down for a beekeeper to start an apiary on his land at the RWAS for a few years and heard nothing. I rang him out of the blue and he bent over backwards to find me a suitable site.

Sorry if my existence causes you inconvenience, I'll just pass by on the other side of the street

Well I'm very sorry, but I didn't expect the third degree when I passed on this offer, nor did I expect an analysis of why noone has taken up the offer previously.
Simple really - if you know someone who would like to investigate this offer pass me their details. If not - stop picking holes and taking offence where none exist.

Exactly, seemed like a civic and worthy post, no idea how it's flared up.

JBM if nobody comes forward from the forum then advise the farmer to use hive locator as well as BKA's in the area. Also suitable for a commercial beek. I'd have asked for the details if I lived nearer. The other website the farmer could use is Urban Beekeeping. Sounds like a fantastic offer.

Thanks, but I'll bow out. Life's too short

Sadly, some people are always intent on looking a gift horse in the mouth ... or perhaps it's just the way of the world these days - people need every bit of information spoon fed on a plate so that all they have to do is press the button ! No personal effort required ....

Must be foraging on OSR, apparently it makes you grouchy.....

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Well, looks like a deal is in the offing - I'll hang on to any subsequent enquiries until I know whether it goes ahead or not and pass the next one on if it falls through.
