Early start here as we managed to catch the Olympic Torch on its way past as least the sun shone for the brief moment it went past.
Did it go near where you live. The son of a friend was part of one of the relays this morning but it was an awkward time before work so I couldn't watch. It came back around towards us this afternoon but by the time I remembered it would have been too late!

I even tried to find local beekeepers, but the local website said they would come and collect a swarm, but not a nest...and raised all sorts of problems - ie goingup ladders etc.In short you need someone with insurance I think!
Did you try here

On this second list,some collectors say how high they'll go to get bees...

Hugs bossymoo - you put me to shame with all you do, it is fine to feel sorry for yourself, sleep tight and pleasant dreams x
Very little flying achieved in the every increasingly Dusty household. CBA to do any now, early night I think as I want to get some gardening done before the school cricket at 12 tomorrow.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
With regards to the bee issue, try ringing your local council and asking for the details of any local bee keepers. They often come and remove nests free of charge as it means more bees (and honey!) for them.
Thanks - I asked her if they're bees, but their more likely bumbles, so no good to bee keepers.

Morning all. I'm in again now this week, better late than never. I haven't got time to read through all the thread so hope that everyone is ok.
