I'm involved with the International Bee Research Association's
collection of records of bee boles, concentrating on my own area
primarily.


www.ibra.org.uk/beeboles


It occurred to me that some of you might have boles which haven't been
recorded. If so, do contact IBRA directly or ask me for more
information.


Please :-)


Well I don't have any in my present house but have lived in a house with
them in the dim distant past and until now had no idea what they were
although I had asked a few people who were similarly as ignorant as I.


Do you know if they were recorded?


I do now as I looked on the web site and they are indeed recorded.


Good :-)


Mary, do you know the origin of the word bole? Is it a bee hole,
distorted over centuries, or something?
Thank you for bringing to my attention something I was not even aware
of.
