Did anybody watch "Jimmy Doherty in Darwin's Garden" last night? I quite liked those Bumble Bee hives he was using but there doesn't seem to be any links associated with the programme. He called them nests I think. Has anybody seen them for sale?

Hi Geoff,

I thought the same thing :D I googled bumble bee nest, I found the Bumblebee Conservation Trust who sell nest boxs :) They also give ideas on how to make your own.

Hope this is of some help :)

Kind Regards

Chantal, the only sad thing about this news story (and the many that have been on BBC TV & radio this week) is that it's a non-news story:

"Scientists now dispute whether Colony Collapse Disorder actually exists"

Unfortunately, what they seem to slightly ignore is that despite this, bees are still dying in higher numbers than usual :( .
