Native bees on TV

[Jimbo]

Hi all had an e-mail from Margie


Dark honeybees on TV !

A Wester Ross honeybee conservation project features on national TV this week, as part of the BBC Landward programme at 7pm, Friday 14th June on BBC 2 Scotland.

Thanks for the tip Jimbo - set to record!

No luck finding the program might be to do with different regions

Landward on BBC 2 Scotland . It was at 7.30. Quite interesting but as always let's you down at the end. Showed putting the larvae into cups? but nothing after that so didn't make sense if you hadn't seen it done before - like me. No doubt it's on the cutting room floor.

Thanks Bridget sometimes it takes a little while to get put on the I player I'll get it this time
Lots of bees just outside my house and yet I still hate to miss any on TV

Think it gets repeated on Beeb 1 on Sunday at around 4.30.

Sorry Drumgerry my original e-mail from Margie did say 7pm but noticed in my area it was shown at 7.30. Margie did say it would be on I- player. I also think it is repeated again some time during the week

Found it by searching iPlayer for Landward.

Bit concerned about the size of the larvae she was grafting!

Best wishes

Yes, the larvae shown are at least 24-36 hours too old.
It was probably the TV guy wanted a big larva to show up on camera.

This is the size you want.
