Came up in the end DR. I suspect its a glitch with our server. H. Pete is quite the comic isn't he ? Down to earth stuff tho'. Sunday looks as tho' its going to be non-stop beekeeping !.
Picked up a copy of "honeybee democracy" on Saturday and have built Seeleys Bait hive for putting out soon. The wife was a bit concerned with lemongrass oil arriving in the post....I think she thought I had gone a bit loopy.
Incidently it is a fantastic book. Anyone else read it ?
I was lucky enough to see him do a presentation on his work about how bees chose a new home a couple of years ago when he was in NI.
Best speaker I have heard.
Must get a copy of the book. It's pretty expensive isn't it.
Not read it yet. But I have read "The Wisdom of the Hive", it made me wiser!. Seriously, I found it to be an excellent book and compulsive reading, my copy is now several years old. I don't know if it has been updated and republished or not.
I don't suppose there were any revolutionary innovations in the design of the bait hive?
Just discovered that "Honeybee Democracy" is available as an ebook, can't get a connection at present however.

I think "Wisdom of the hive" is out of print ... I've been trying to get hold of a copy but they tend to be frighteningly expensive. Honeybee Democracy is excellent (and excellent value at about £12).

I don't think there were any magic innovations on the bait hives. A box about 15" square with a 32mm circular entrance near the bottom, a nail across the entrance to stop birds getting access. Stick it up a tree 3-5m and add few drops of lemongrass oil.Not read it yet. But I have read "The Wisdom of the Hive", it made me wiser!.

I think I got my copy for about £16.
Thanks for reply, I shall use some national brood boxes as usual then! I keep intending to get lemongrass oil, one wonders if the local chemist (pharmacist) will have much in stock?. There would one assumes, be limited demand for it in a small village
Holland & Barrett sell it.
