I think it was Einstein that said that if bees become extinct, so would humans, within a very short time span ( cant rememberexactly ...about 10 years?)

Hi,

Thanks for posting that.

I believe that the new HorticulturalTV Channel is doing some programmes on Beekeeping - maybe the 'new' chicken keeping' !

As an aside, I did think about keeping bees but they look like they need a lot of attention; more so than hens?

Yes, I'd like to keep bees too, but it does look like they need a lot of care and it is much more complicated thatn I thought it would be. A lot to learn about, and expensive to get started too. Then you could just lose the hive for a myriad of reasons, it seems.
