    Got a hive oop t' 'lotty, and planning another. Insect box is ready, and a very good value for money ..........£3.00 for one of these is in Morrisons ! Could't make it yourself any cheaper !  Gunna get another I think !    Buzz on my little beauties!

  • I was really miffed to find in my missives that I cannot keep bees on my property (nor rabbits, nor chickens) despite being out in the countryside. Some sad lawyer who's been stung in the past???

    Thanks for the tip on Morrisons insect boxes. I've added that to the shopping list!
  • Hi Irene ,your councils environment dept has no restrictions on any one keeping Rabbits, Chickens, or Bee's . so long as there feces does not annoy your neighbours oh and you dont keep a cockeral

    Our neighbours chickens stink (built beside our fence/house) and have a cockerel grrrr , but we are nice neighbours image



    Thanks for update. We have hives near by so I do try and plant for them to visit image
  • Hi Bunnysplanet, perhaps if you were to ask them for the chicken droppings to compost

    it makes good fertilizer ,

  • Hi Irene Mac,

    Have just had another email from Azaac. Tomorrow is the deadline for

    signing the petition (14/03/13). The pressure is still on the EU Commission

    as Bayer are fighting back hard. I hope many more people will sign the

    petition - I've just emailed ten of my friends to ask them to sign it. Let's

    hope the EU Commission win this one - otherwise heaven only knows

    what will happen to the bees!
