A report on radio4 this morning, asking people to keep a bee colony in
their
gardens and even on a balcony (for example) for city dwellers. How
practical is this?
There are quite a few instances of this happening in other European
countries although I have not seen it in the UK. I guess it depends on
ease of accessibility to food source. A balcony on a flat in a small rural
town would be somewhat different to that in a high rise block in a major
industrially based city - even allowing for the greater awareness of the
green issue.
There was some mention of a food source, I didn't hear it all. I might look
on 'Listen Again' and see if I get hear it all.
How easy is it to acquire a bee colony, and from whom?
