     When we upgraded the website the structure changed and so many old links will no longer work. All of our information notes can now be accessed by clicking on the “Information” bar on the left of the home page. To go direct to this document click on this url http://www.westcornwallbka.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Swarm_Control.pdf

   I wonder if you can help me? I am currently a student at Camborne College doing a project and exhibition piece on Colony Collapse Disorder. I wondered if any of your members may have any dead bees that they are able to save for me? Also some honeycomb? I would be most grateful for any assistance that you can give me.

   My phone number is 01736 787872.

   Kind regards,

   Rosie Schneider

   Have hive of bees in stack of round bale silage which became exposed when top bale was removed. Bees seem calm to be near and took a sample of honey comb- very nice.Have covered with ply wood but will be using silage over winter. Your advice would be welcome.Rose

   Hello,

   Is there a list anywhere of West Cornwall bee keepers who sell honey direct to the public?

   Thank you,

   Paula

     I’m afraid there isn’t a list. Local honey can normally be bought at Farmers Markets see http://www.westcornwallfood.org.uk for details or in some local shops and health food shops. If you send me your postcode (to secretary@westcornwallbka.org.uk ) I can ask a couple of your nearest beekeepers to email you if they have honey to sell – we have had a bad year this year and some beekepers got no honey at all.

   Dear Beekeepers,

   I am currently writing my BSc Environmental Science dissertation on managed honeybees in the UK.

   I would be very grateful if beekeepers in the Cornwall area could fill in my questionnaire.

   My aim is to understand the factors involved in honeybee survival and decline; the opinions of local beekeepers are a vital part of my research project.

   Website for questionnaire; http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6P5GWX9

   Many thanks for your time.

   Hi this is a good site which is easy to use thank you.

   This is by way of a small reminder – In the events & meetings section there is only mention of the Rosewarne apiary. I was looking for details of the new apiary site near Penzance. It would be useful to have the address with postcode and/or map ref / directions.
   I realise it is alot of work to ensure the web-site is current, please regard this reminder as positive feed-back. Thanks Hazel

     Hi Hazel – just trying to work out how to do this – advanced content management (for me anyway!)

   Hi, This is just a quick enquiry. Malletts will be taking part in a Garden Festival on Lemon Quay in July and would very much like to use the opportunity to help raise awareness of ‘the plight of the humble Bee’.

   I wondered if you would be able to supply us with any leaflets that customers could help themselves to with regard to Keeping Bees, or at least to educate them on how to help them in their hour of need, and to draw their attention to the fact that they have such a huge effect on all of our lives. Would you be able to supply us with anything like that at all? Even some membership forms they could take away with them would be good. I look forward to hearing from you.
   Thank you in antisipation.

     Hi Medina. Can you let me have an address and I will see what we can find for you – what is the date of your event? Barbara
