Re: A Ban on Bees
I'm a member of the Bumblebee Preservation Society and perhaps the local beekeepers society or similar can offer advice. There could be a reason why bees are stinging so much I don't know if it will help much but there is some information hereRe: A Ban on Bees
Never ever been stung by a bee, wasps yes. There are over 200 species of bee in the UK, sounds like officialdom gone mad. I have some sympathy for those allergic too bee stings so can understand not wanting a hive nearby.Re: A Ban on Bees
Normally bees are quite happy to co-exist with gardeners/allotment keepers and go on with their own tasks of pollinating and/or honey making. They do not sting just for the sake of it - unlike wasps - but only when/if they are threatened. I have bumble bees living in my garage every year - they are lovely, friendly, little creatures.Re: A Ban on Bees

Re: A Ban on Bees
I admit I'm a bit nervous of getting stung myself, I react badly enough to gnat bites, let alone a bee sting. Touch wood I have never been stung, even though I had a nest under my shed last summer. Every time I was hanging my washing out, I seemed in the flight path!
