I have some land and am interested in helping the honey bee but dont really want to do bee keeping myself.  I saw on the telly that people will put hives on your land or garden and bung you a few jars of honey in exchange.  I cant find this info and was wondering if anybody has done this or has a contact

Many thanks
Taff :)

I've noticed in recent months a number of reports about the disappearance of Bee's. Apparently it's a world wide phenomenom :(  .

A World Renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is browsing in a music store, when he spies an album titled "Wasp sounds from around the Globe".


Naturally, being a World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps he is curious and asks the young chap behind the counter if he can have a listen to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe".


A few seconds later the World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is standing at one of those little sound stations with his headphones on and a puzzled expression on his face. He removes the Headphones, walks back to the counter and catches the young sales persons attention. "Excuse me" he says, "I'm A World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe", and I must say, there appears to be some mistake. Those are no Wasp sounds with which I am familiar". The young man dutifully checks the recording in question and assures the World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps that he is indeed listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe".


Puzzled, the World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps returns to the headphones and once again begins to listen. After a few seconds he once again returns to the counter and accosts the young fellow here. ""Excuse me" he says, "As I mentioned before, I am a World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe" and I have to say again, those are no Wasp sounds with which I am familiar. Are you certain I have been listening to the correct recording?" Slightly exasperated by now, the young man checks the disc currently playing and with a slightly sheepish grin confesses:


"Oops, sorry Sir, I seem to have played you the Bee side"
