Bzzzz Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Perhaps Bzzzz can enlighten me: What time do bees get up? Was just putting my golf clubs in the motor (07:05hrs) and got ambushed. They'll leave the nest when its warm enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 They'll leave the nest when its warm enough! Aboot August then? The ones in our nest box are up before I am, and that's usually about 0700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I love the idea of the barman saying he managed to get hold of a beekeeper. Is there an apiary hotline for this sort of thing? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-33057962 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen many honey bees. likewise. loads in our garden and we live in the town. was thinking there were far more than usual - maybe the dryish spring has helped. not a lot of honey bees right enough. v few in fact.

Sadly 2 of my neighbours have cut down bushes in their front gardens purely because they were always covered in bees as they said children were frightened. Unbelievable. I've still got 2 of them though and planted a few new plants specifically for the bees. Also gave a wee bee a bit of raspberry jam juice when I was on holiday and then had a near battle to get him to leave the juice and join his pals on the flowers. He gave a furious buzz before he flew away. Sadly though the fields are also covered in butterflies so I'm trying to avoid the flower fields as those tattooed moths fecking terrify me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 My exact words said very loudly, "ya ####k'ing cu'nnt". The dogs who were all sleeping jumped up and one started barking so other 2 joined in. I just glimpsed it so not quite sure if it was moths or not but if it was you're going to the big burny fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
