Being middleclass I do not, nor do I ever plan to possess anything as vulgar as a tattoo or a chin.

As mentioned in a previous post, they remain the legal property of that beekeeper for as long as that beekeeper remains in pursuit. Once he loses them, it's finders keepers.

It tends to be the other way around :): beekeepers can charge landowners for putting hives on their land at certain times of year in order to pollinate their crops (e.g. the almond trees in California).


I suppose you could try what TfL do: build barriers and try to charge those going through them :)

On Saturday on Peckham Rye Park was the Southwark in Bloom thingy, which including info about that subject but also there was a bee keeper. He's running some bee keeping courses! They're free! I'm gonna get me on one then we can learn and grow and be more aware. God I love living in London for all the useful things you can learn about all sorts of different subjects. I even saw someone I had never met before but sort of worked out they were an EDFer. And I was right. LegalEaglish, it was absolutely lovely to meet you!

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
