The colours are great but surely yellow will attract flies and other insects to it.

We want our dear bees to survive and help them to prosper and thrive. To live in some state, your Beehaus looks great. It keeps them all safe - in a hive.

The world depends on bees, much more useful than sorting out cans and bits of papers.

Did you know that if all the bees in the world died today there would be very little life left on earth within 5 years because plants wouldn't get pollinated. Don't know if it's true but it's a good reason to help them out just in case. And I love honey too, everybody wins.

I couldn't possibly use this prize, no place to put it/flowers... :( But, my mother's taking a course and has been telling me how important bees are to the environment, so it's very very encouraging to see so much interest in this competition! :) Did anyone else see the quote in the apiarist garden at Chelsea Flower Show? I can't remember who by, but it said that if there were no bees, mankind would become extinct in 4 years... Amazing stuff... Glad to see so many budding bee-aficionados on an unrelated site! :) Cordelia Louise x x

My husband has always wanted to keep bees so this seems like an ideal opportunity! Our little grand daughter is allergic to pollen and if we can get her eating more natural honey this may help her allergies.

love the egglu so beehaus sounds really exciting. I've been planting up the garden for the bees and my daughter keeps dashing about with sugar water for any poor bee who dares to sit still long enough for her to feel they need her first aid!! Looking forward to honey but also really keen to experiment with the wax. I feel lots of candles for xmas pressies coming on!

Honey is fantastic for more than just eating - it can be used as an antiseptic on cuts and wounds and is good for a sore throat too - aren't bees just amazing?

I love honey and would love to raise bees. My husband's aunt used to and he loved doing it and would love it again and so would I. I have to eat only raw, unrefined, unfiltered honey with my lupus. What better way to get it than to raise the bees.

We need more beekeepers in the UK. the drop in colony numbers and Apiarists in recent years is having an effect on the number od polinators available.

psafloyd

May 5

I would recommend anyone thinking about taking up beekeeping gets in touch with their local division of the British Beekeepers Association and gets some training. After all, these are living creatures and need some care. They also have the ability to hurt you, so great care is required. I'd recommend the book Bees at the Bottom of the Garden as an opener.

My husband used to keep bees on land where he used to work, unfortunately when he changed jobs he was unable to move the bees. We are however now able to accomodate, primary honey, what a treat

juneandtom

How fabulous to have your own honey, I am a great believer in the health benefits of honey and use it everyday for all manner of things and bees are so precious to our survival on this planet, so now I'm inspired to enroll on an apiarists course.

May 4

I agree great prize and think the local farmers would be happy if I was a lucky winner. I have done a lot of research to check its something I could do and considered the busier times for the Bees like the summer etc when they may need more watching and checking for swarming etc, with so many problems for our Bee's from pesticides to disease I hope I am lucky enough to give it a go and give them a chance in an organic area... so fingers crossed, but if not me good luck to who ever does win....

chrissue

We will be planting a small mixed fruit orchard alongside some lovely knarled cider apple trees and we will NEED BEES!!! and we'll be able to find them in this splendid red hive. We can promise flowers and no pesticides and rolling fields. Hopefully this will also boost the local bee population which isn't what it used to be in this little corner of Dorset.

beliz

This hive would be a fantastic addition to our veggie plot, I'm sure the surrounding bushes and plants would provide enough food and entertainment to help them thrive!!
