| Have been away from the forum for some time and am sorry to find that not a lot seems to happen here any more. Has everyone gone over to Facebook and what happened to the pictures? |

Hi David and welcome back
I'm really not sure what happened except that Phil no longer seems to have the time and without his enthusiasm and drive, it has dwindled. I know we lost a lot of content a few years ago due to an administrative error, so that may account for missing photos.
How are things with you? Are your bees faring well. It was my poorest season in a long time with several cast swarms dying out due to queenlessness or failure to mate and 2 established colonies being left queenless. |

Hello Barbara, thanks for the reply.
It's a shame that the forum is less popular these days as it started many clueless people like myself on the path to natural beekeeping.
No bees at the moment but that will change next season. |

Just fyi the old yahoo group for warres has been reduced to e-mail only so not what it was. People seem to be enquiring about biobees so perhaps you will get more traffic here in this and the warre section, I hope so.
The warre group http://www.biobees.com/forum/index.php (now just a header page) was very helpful with excellent advice so would revive this section. |

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
