Re: nature notes
The decline of bees is a really frightening situation. They are so easily damaged by pesticides, whether they are honey bees colonising man made hives or wild bees. I only see a few different species in my garden.

Re: Coronavirus
Margaid, I am sorry to hear your news as well, what a sad set of circumstances to get through. You are a braver and stronger woman than I, I'm not sure I could watch a funeral of somebody close to me, I imagine its a whole different experience and not a pleasant one.

It can even cause confusion among those who do know about the ban, but do not understand the rationale be...

Re: Feather pecking
Just jumping in as apparently its illegal to give our hens dried mealworms. Has anyone else heard of this? Well if it is illegal then do what I did and buy live ones. CJ Wildbirdfood sell them. Put the excess in the fridge where they become comatose and they will stay alive for quite a while. Or of...
