    i am signed up to a dozen forums that like this i participate in. all but this one and one other are in the uk the rest are abroad. i find that some forums are so stick in the mud, dyed in the wool that if anyone suggests any thing what so ever they then get trolled to death i have left many forums because of that reason alone. i know only use one or two posts to keep a membership active so i can read only the posts but would never ever replay or add due to shouty members i am one forum and there is a self qualified bee keeper extraordinaire on it , as someone with a formal beekeep

    sorry boys but this sort of thing is well out of order now, good for the old days but not now. its so easy to get into trouble for this now. on my sites as the manager anyone doing this is prompty shot on site or kicked off site as for the other comments i was once working in henley when a mature lady complained of the lack of "attention" as she walked past and she truely was beautifull so true to my word we had a labourer on watch and when she was seen walking back i had every single man lined up on the gate way and the wolf whistling started at 400m and kept going till she was past.

    i would rather look at hundreds of these than one nuclear plant, also i can remove a wind turbine totally in a few months a plant takes around one hundred years and zillions of my tax payers money cant see why they dont concentrate on getting more based off shore rather than on land, we are an island so theres plenty of water for them to stand in

    most council allotments are run under the same set of rules these are the alotment garden rules. check your area theres rules state athat on an allotment you can keep all animals except cloven hoof so bees, rabbits, ducks and chickens are usually a given as for the type of hive well thats up to you, i am personally a classicly trained bee keeper so i use nationals and dadants, with the ability to do breeding and there fore swarm controls i have three at the allotments durring the winter and summer but can increase to 30 nucs when i am doing queen fertilisations and splitting nucs up,

    bowing on them does not work as much. what it does do is to move the bee away from you with out the bee seeing a dirty great big arm, which she then decides to attack the worse place by far most people get stung is the ear lobe. that really does smart when it happens

    after reading the other notes i think its a case of a bee keeper going on about his weekly inspections blind to your concerns, may be a call to him will jolly up a quick response. you are so luck not to have rape near by, i hate the stuff, nasty honey weak and thin or cyrstals yuk, i sell it off double quick to get rid of it. some people here rave about it and i worry about their sanity

    bees are kept in two styles of wooden box a house or home general day to day box , this a "brood chamber" he all the bees are born, eggs laid for new ones and general day to day works go on. up stairs is the pantry storage areas " supers" the queen and the small over wintering colony (5,000bees) stay downstairs over the winter, when its warm enough the queen starts to re lay eggs and starts to build the colony back up ready for the summers works (45,000 bees) to stay on work and damage we bee keepers store the supers at home untill needed , these are also the boxes that have the

    so first up, no it does not, it does how ever well up to much that is constricts you wee pipe and you have to have bag and tube fitted for a week and have treatment for the swelling that also dislodged a testical, which if you ever have to know how that feels ask as a rugga play to drop kick in the nads , its very similar at the time i was 17 , recovering from a night on the cider and could not be bothered to walk ten feet further from the hives, now i wished i had gone 200 feet further than the hives. within 20 mins i was unable to walk and had to crawl over to get help, i was stu

    well the following two posts were pretty well spot on for the answers like the others i am a bee keeper and keep hives on a farmers field so starting that others reading this dont understand my i start differently for many bee keepers either unable to have hives at home and or more hives or hives better placed we try to outsource them. personally i used to have my hives in corner of fields or dead spots or scrap spots of brush or rough. in this way the farmer has a gift or money for land i am using that he would of not used or made proffit from himself normally i normally t
