"Gopher" wrote in message ... In message , Ophelia writes 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? If you're out and about today, this week's Country Life has an article on this very subject. Don't know if it's online yet. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics.
