Couperman Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 There is a 2 page article in Home Farmer about the Beehaus if any of you buzzy types are interested. page 36&37 It seems a quite light hearted positive article that explains the concept of the Beehaus but it does have an air of 'anyone can start keeping bees today' about it which I thought was misleading, no mention of bee keeping courses, etc Kev.

That's what worries me Kev and I can see why beekeepers are so anti. We did lots of research earlier on this year and decided that unfortunately bee keeping is not possible for us. I know everyone who posts on here will research but so many won't. Same as keeping chickens really imo. I still remember reading a post asking how to stop the chickens scratching the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I thought the piece read more like an advert than an article myself. Very lightweight ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperman Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry folks, I was in a foul mood at stupid o'clock this morning and read things that were not there. Not drink related of course Apologies all round I shouldn't let things get on top of me and then take it out on you guys. Strangely I struggled to walk but my typing and spelling are quite remarkable all things considered Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, all I can say is you still made far more sense than Carl does at that time of night after his impressions of Keith Floyd (Carl does most of the day to day cooking ) ....after he gave all the freshly picked peas in pods to the pigs the other day he's still in the doghouse!
