They had Bees at the Bath Flower show this weekend, they are facinating, they kids stood and watched them for ages.

Headfry my thoughts are with you and hope you get some good news today xxxx

Hope it's not bad news for you today Headfry. I was listening to Farming Today on Saturday and they had a programme about bees you may be interested in BBC - Radio 4 - Farming Today.

Thank you all so much.
I am really very worried, it feels like I am to sit a huge exam tonight, butterflies or what!
6pm tonight- if all goes ok and inspector can still make it.
Weather is being kind, phew thats a relief.
Thank you once again, you have really kept me going. I know I am very silly over my bees, thats just me I'm afraid. Sorry

You are not at all silly.

I can spend ages watching bees too - but only if they are in one of those special hives where you are watching through glass. There is a lovely restaurant in Holland where you can watch the bees coming and going - they have a special exit and entry point out of the way of the public. I spent the best part of a day watching them when we were at a car show there a few years ago.

Not silly in the slightest Headfry, I think it's great.

I stood gawking like a fool for ages yesterday watching a wasp building a nest in my shed. I felt really guilty when I knocked it down - it was so intricate.

Later in the day we were sat outside and I saw the same wasp flying back into the shed (it squeezed through the gap at the top of the door), so no doubt I'll see another one tonight.

I think it's cool what you're doing for what it's worth.
