    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

      Isn't the guy who invented the plastic beehive the one who is responsible for the Eglu? If so it might become far more mainstream in the way that chicken keeping has. Hope so! Think I'll google that Beehaus later.
      Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

        I don't think there is a drop in bee keeping in town. On our plots we have a bee keeping sub club. And we have to rotor the bee keepers at charity days or else we will have all the stalls taken by bee keepers.

              Yes I noticed that too when I saw that news article last night, got very excited!
              I've wanted to keep bees for ages but we running out of room in our garden.

                        The plastic ones may come in nice colours and easier to clean?

                            Hi, You can keep two queens in a National standard too..... just keep the queens seperated using queen excluders.... not frequently done but easy to do as and when required.

                            Some bloke already sells horizontal hives - so unless he sold his design templates, he'll be blown out of the water now. This is a triumph of "of the moment" marketing and despite the price tag, it'll sell! (bear in mind to set yourself up from scratch without any bees would be around £250 to £300....swarms are free but nuc's are rocketing in price...so £500 is actually cleverly priced....)

                            Cheers!
