Hi All,
I keep my bees on a solar farm as wifey is not keen on having them in the garden.. I popped down yesterday only to find that the groundsmen had sprayed weedkiller around the fence line and unfortunately over the back of two hives. I think it happened a few days ago as the weeds/ grass is starting to go over but its pissed me off to say the least.
The bees seemed Ok and there wasn't masses of dead bees so I think they may have been lucky this time!
I'm considering having a moan as they are always promoting us keeping bees on their farms but suspect its more for planning permission thing than any other reason.
