anyone got any ideas as to why the forum is suddenly of such interest over the last 2 days? over 2.5x previous record.

is it the dowsing thread or lurkers who've been waiting for Kaz to get stang off of her bees?

 

[Monsieur Abeille]

Seem to remember there was a peak at this time last year, maybe because of all the different things to think about - harvest, thymol, stores etc?

 

[drstitson]

yes - something like 165 users on 10th august. but that appears blown out if water this week.

perhaps word of your DIYing has spread far and wide!!!!

 

[gingerbees]

well I have been on here more because the weather has been so awfull

 

[Brosville]

It's probably spambots (which show up as "visitors") - the forum I administrate is getting literally hundreds of dodgy applications every day - for chapter and verse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRumer

Yes, I noticed something like 205 guests earlier today. I thought maybe I was misunderstanding the stats.

 

[beeatshellards]

[For want of a better word]

It is because this forum is so non political!

and foreign agents are trying to steal our secrets on such items as the bait sausage recipe and the famous bee whistle.... let alone tips on dowsing and queen rearing in Langstroth sized hollow trees...............

[drstitson]

perhaps it's because i've managed to mention Kaz's fundraising calendar enough times recently for it to come to the attention of those idly searching the web in response to the deluge of press pics of imogen thomas and other non-celebs shooting their 2012 calendars at various hot spots around the med over the last few weeks.

I agree, VM. The BBKA site is a dead loss and I haven't looked at in in weeks.

With thread titles such as:

"A great day for mating"

"Laying Workers"

"Super manipulation"


Is it any wonder that the forum attracts large numbers of casual (and probably in the event disappointed) visitors?
