‘You win some, you lose some‘

[Vergilius]

Said a wise man once... Caught this cute little cast swarm on the Ashdown Forest for a friend... sadly, on my return to pick them up this eve, they had gone, hopefully to a nice tree hole!

Just noticed you've changed your user name - nice!
Next thing you'll be beating a dead cat to try and create a new colony

The joy of a classical education ...

Vergil's father probably had a small estate which he cultivated, and he is said to have eked out his means by keeping bees.

 

[Vergilius]

The Georgics are clearly heavily reliant on Varro’s De Re Rustica, but I like to think that V. kept bees himself!

yeah, but beating a cat into a pulp is a lot less work - and easier to obtain in most areas nowadays.
