They look very healthy bringing lots of pollen. Better to leave them be for the moment.

In response to Molly's question (bees on a 2nd floor flat roof?) I had a friend who keeps bees come round and look at my 2nd floor extension flat roof. He thought it would be a fine place to keep a hive - pointing outwards off the back end of the extension away from the house. It does increase your bee traffic in the area obviously, but by and large the bees will fly in and out of the hive to forage elsewhere. Having said that, any one thinking of establishing a hive needs to go on a course or have a mentor or both but the location certainly doesn't sound like it rules out keeping bees.

Currently the local honey people I know are low on stock, but I will ask around.

Does anyone have any honey that I can buy off them? Would be nice to have local honey.

Hi, Simon, if you are reading this - can you give me another call.... I don't seem to have saved your phone number and would love to try and meet up soon.
Thank you!
Jane

Hello. I had no idea of this wonderful local resource. I was hoping you could help because I am interested in bee keeping. My grand father used to look after them but I never had the opportunity to learn from his knowledge and so I would very much like you to get in touch with me so I could learn about the possibilities of helping to look after them and perhaps one day keeping a hive.

Hi Simon,

Good to make contact!
I'm away now until Monday, but will be at Salusbury School's garden in the Cemetery all day on monday where I volunteer - if you are around it would be great to meet (I'm there till 6pm). Otherwise try me again on the mobile,
Jane

Hi there, have just discovered K2K tonight after a walk and chat in Paddington Cemetery. I am already keeping bees in the cemetery so would be interested in finding out more about the plans. I also know a fellow Kilburn Bee-keeper who would be very happy to help with the project if he could put another hive alongside yours. Best wishes, Simon

The possibility of bees in the Paddington cemetery (Willesden Lane) has firmed up, with the ground staff and the council saying that we're now allowed to have a community hive there. Hooray! That gives us a real focus for getting a course organised and people attending and then helping to run the hive.
