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?

You can buy bee boxes for bumble bees and put them up as instructed. It
doesn't have to be a honey bee colony. Three species of bumble bees are
now extinct. ;-(

Interesting! I didn't know!

Thank you.
