Yes the honey bee is suppsed to be in decline - which is why we thought wed have no trouble getting a bee keeper to take them - we were surprised finding someone was so difficult..oh well!<BR/>Ive never seen a bumble bee here in Oz, so I think we dont have them - and thankfully we dont have the carpenter bees! I love bumble bees tho, they always made me smile, just too cute!

However, to assist the bee keeper with boxing them is an experience you will never forget and sure you will wear a big smile when re-telling your story (maybe after a few recovery days) Heehee!! I would have loved to experience the humming box, but you have described it so well, I don't feel I need to :) Have a good day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732532158833146797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704229933093060803.post-46306580007111514202007-10-05T08:04:00.000+10:002007-10-05T08:04:00.000+10:00So this is strange to have a second swarm in the s...So this is strange to have a second swarm in the same spot - but as there was a bit of a language barrier - we couldnt ask him for more info than he had english to give. <BR/>Ive another crazy day here today - Im hoping to visit all my blogs at some point today and catch up with you all - Have a great day!Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837170932026113619noreply@blogger.com
