A bugs a Bug, there's millions upon millions of the critters and a few less won't make any difference right now.

Honey bees are not bugs. Without their pollination of crops there would be millions upon millions of humuns not eating much. But I don't care either way; I'm allergic to bee stings and the next one will probably kill me. But don't worry, I'll take the little bug with me...

Well they are insects, But yeah they are useful/needed and as long as their not Africanized, fairly easy to deal with. I was mainly talking about pests, Bees can be moved, Just get the Queen, The rest will follow I think.

You are right VW, even honey bees can be pests if they pose a risk to people, and need pest control to deal with them. You are right about the queen, the bees will follow her. Although if you manage to retrieve a swarm, put a white sheet in front of a hive leading up to the entrance and dump the bees on the sheet, they will walk into the hive. But it will be ages before you see the queen walking in somewhere in the middle, but never at the front leading them all. But when she rarely flies the will follow her in flight.

I hope you managed to squeeze into that hole and live there OK without sharing with those little stingers.

It's been a while since I was last stung. Then I got it in a finger and you could trace the red inflamed veins back up my arm to my shoulder for a few days. I don't want to chance another encounter as I'm told they tend to get worse the more you have.

Ice, just wondering if Africanized bees are an issue where you are. I'm not even sure a beekeeper is permitted to keep a wild swarm here.

No, we don't have Africanized bees in the UK, just whatever is decimating the bee population generally. In the UK the owner of a swarm is only the owner until he/she loses sight of it then. Then it belongs to whoever can catch them (which is not as difficult as you may think). A swarm is highly prized for beekeepers since it contains all the younger active workers who gather the most nectar and pollen (to make honey). The bees they leave behind are older, slower and gather very little for the colony. They will also be leaving an old queen behind and have set off with a brand new queen to propogate their species by lodging in a hole behind someboy's brick ;)

I guess that's better than a bunch of black flying horses. :D

Especially if they have steel hooves and snort fire.

Hello Andy

I don't know where "up here" is, but I know there is a cold front headed down from the North and snow looking likely for the whole of the UK again over the next week. Thought Winter had gone, but am about to be proven wrong I think!

Hi Andy, I presume you mean this?

UK Met Office

I didn't even know Met Office were on to it yet - the extent of the cold will spread right into the South. Looking like a very wintery week again.

That's the sort of weather we normally get, but this Winter was very different. Weeks & weeks of ice & snow. Hopefully we won't see that again for another 30 odd years (Was coldest Winter for over 30 years here).

How big a nuisance depends on how well prepared everyone is.

Up here is Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands (Robinhood country).

The 3 day weather here is forcast to be cloudy, with some rain and no snow until Tuesday night. Even then it is only likely to be a dusting.

It looks to be colder, snowier and wetter down in Avon than up here.
