OK, sorry, it's been awhile since last post, Plan C now in place, I'm moving! 200yds down the road to a two bedroom house with a garden and a landlord who is ok with bees, ok a small bribe, 2 jars of honey :-)
Have also spoken to bee supplier and should get a call next week to collect bees.
That presents a small problem, 3 feet or 3 miles! OK let me explain, bees are a bit like homing pigeons, they go back to where they think hive is located, if it is moved 3 feet they can find it, but any movement under 3 miles and they are seriously confused! 3 miles and they work out that they have been moved and carry on happily.
So 200 yards! A problem!
Have asked permission to put hive in early to new garden, they want to know when? Come on, when does a baby arrive on schedule!
Watch this space, could be plan C point 5!
