We have set up a series of UK and Ireland Usergroups with associated private forums, according to our perception of need.
You can join whichever group(s) you feel appropriate by going to the top menu and requesting membership. This will then give you automatic access to the associated forum.
Please use these sub-forums to arrange meetings and anything else you consider to be relevant.
Post here if you have any problems joining a group or using its forum. |

Hi Phil,
Not sure if this is an oversight or not, I notice there is no East England section. East Anglia doesn't fit into either East Midlands or South East England. |

I was trying to avoid too many subdivisions, but I want to be as flexible as possible.
Do we therefore need West Midlands, East Midlands and East Anglia? Will people instinctively know where the borders are? |

That would do it for me Phil. There are always going to be those awkward people who live on the border but I doubt if anyone living in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk or Suffolk would see East Midlands as including them.
An alternative way of looking at it might be that those in Bedfordshire have a choice of which way to go to find a peer group! |

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
