I'm really keen to start a group on natural beekeeping in the West Wales area.
I have 1 Warre at present, hopefully it will survive this winter, and I hope to colinise another Warre this year. [/b] |

If you get something up and running, consider putting a pin on this map so that others can find you. _________________ Gareth

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
