What you taught me.

Holding my own on the BBKA facebook page, and it's thanks to this forum. See?! I do listen

 

[Charlieanne]

Well done you . I just tend to lurk as too afraid to post anything most of the time being a beginner.

 

[Erichalfbee]

Nooooooo don't do that. Post away please

Just go for it Charlieanne!! When I'm around other bee keepers I turn into a complete novice and everything I have learned just disappears from my mind lol, but on some things I know I'm right, because I've seen it here

Erichalfbee, I love how no one has winter losses or loses swarms. Makes me chuckle

 

[kazmcc]

PS, I suspect I'm right about that bee, but then it's none of my business

ha ha ....I'm surprised BBKA hasn't been asterisked out as a swearword here
You should look on the londonBKA Facebook page.
You can tell it's in London
They have a "Forage Officer"
Here we can only manage a Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and a vacant position for education.

Well done you

Yes, well done.

What's one of those supposed to do?

Thats a bit harsh really.
Some nice people there.
Some others that wont change their ideas and refuse to accept new ideas but generally nice folk.

Mark Patterson, if you are lucky enough to run into him, is a serious and very able beek in I guess his late 20s who brings real commitment to the role. Eg working with local authorities to plant eg Lindens instead of London planes. And the whole area is drowning in free packets of bee-friendly seeds because when companies call LBKA to come put a hive on their roof, he has the nous to talk them into donating for seeds instead. Latest wheeze is a N/S forage corridor across the whole capital. A role like that is what you make it and I am impressed


Add: to be clear, I am outside the (central) LBKA area and have met him through his outreach to other BKAs.

I would not even bother to look. But getting bad enough on here on the beginners section.

Add holes in garden fences and perhaps the next generation will grow up knowing what a hedgehog looks like first hand.
Excellent thing to be doing. It would benefit all sorts, not just bees.
Brilliant bit of public relations. Well done.

You should RAB, it's quite entertaining.

You might learn something...

Thank you everyone I'm on so much medication these days I can't hold a thought in my head but it must be going in somewhere. Someone else has come along who agrees with me. It can be scary being the first person to comment, and that comment is pointing out there may be something amiss, but I was reading up on diseases over winter and it was very obvious, so I thought "Ahh what the help. If I'm wrong then I will have learned something new"

Queens59!! So good to hear from you! I hope you are well. Been looking out for you posting

Maybe he should post on there, he wouldnt last 5 minutes

Ooops! I'm on a roll!

did that once waiting for a train at Paddington - the policeman said it was lucky I was in uniform or he'd have booked me
