Dont mean to be a party pooper but before you get any make sure that the neighbours arent going to kick off. We have an on going story in our paper about an old chap in his 80s who has been doing it for the last 50 years. As the demography has changed round him people are becoming hysterical about it. Complaints that washing is being "spotted" as they fly over and saying that children are too frightened to go out . One woman saying she has to shut all her doors and windows the bees come to her garden. The poor chap is so upset and worries constantly which is making him very poorly. The council have , though I dont see how they can, stopped him from selling his honey to anyone. He may after all these years have to get rid of his one and only passion. It makes me sick that people can be so stupid. No one has been stung and I can only assume that the ones causing the fuss are newcomers to the area. A friend of his has got in touch with the Farmers Union and we are waiting to see what happens. They should realise that without people like him and others on here we wouldnt last long without them .
