well as most of you know we have had bee's nesting in a birdbox in our garden,...i finally found someone to take them away,making sure they would not be killed,The gentleman had honey bees so he was going to put them in a tree and let them get on with their little lives..They actually turned out to be rare tree bee's :o so we have told the bumbelbee conservation where they are,so glad we managed to save them :)

    Good show!, you've managed to find them a new home instead of killing them as many would do, so for doing so you get the Mellman Platinum conservation award 1st class for doing that, it's the little things that effect us most and bees are top of the list, we can't live without them, but they could without us.

    Well done, KatKnapp! What a lovely ending to a problem! I'm so pleased you had the patience and thoughtfulness to solve it in a way that benefitted all.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
