Hi Paul, I would like 3 swarms for an old lady, who would like to start
beekeeping in Holton, and one for a gentleman (Cowley), and an other lady
(cowley-Littlemore) who had one colony each but they did not survived the
winter.For myself I would like also a few, but only after everyone had
enough.Thanks Zsolt

the community beekeeping project please!My home hove (WBC with Golden Ratio
frames) is romping away.No more lifting heavy boxes!The secret, I learned (late
in the piece), from Matt Somerville is to use deep Dadant frames turned on
their side with simply a long wooden bar screwed in on top to give lugs to sit
on the top box.CheersEFrom: oxnatbees-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Karen's right, who wants swarms?
Please let me know -
Name
Rough location (eg Wolvercote / postcode)
How many wanted
If you have NO BEES (we prioritise these)
Phone number(s)
I'll compile a list and circulate it. Note this reveals some personal info.
The system we use is - if someone has a spare swarm, we try to home it near
its origin.
Sometimes the recipient has to collect it themselves.
We sometimes charge £15 or £30 if there was a lot of bother collecting /
delivering it (some folk have no cars)
