If you do buy a beehive, make sure you don't confine the bees to your
greenhouse, otherwise when you can't provide local pollen and nectar the
bees will starve. They need to be able to scour the neighbourhood to
collect water, too, at those times when you forget to replenish a source.
Would suggest a source of water too. Bees need water and if they find it, allow them to settle
amd drink.from a shallow bowl.

The bees will be perfectly happy to sip moisture off the wet plants and
drips off his watering system.

My bees use a saucer.. So much more refined than yours...(grin).

Well, Larry just solved my pollination problems....half the greenhouse is gone!! So now to stop the dogs destroying stuff. Off to get some chicken wire....
Well, at least you still have internet.
You could have let the dogs be taken care of by Larry.....He seems usefull. Its an omen....(grin)
Hope the bees werent whizzed of to parts unknown!
Theyll be coming to your place now as theres not much left growing?


Grin not much is moving....and I'm tempted to feed the dogs to Wati if they keep the digging up. Can't see many bees around, and my only bee attracting tree (bottlebrush) is gone. Our power's been a bit on and off today, but we're extremely greatful to have power (and a house) at all.
