Hello. I live at...... Downlands, Mount Pleasant, Stoford. Jim Huntley the 'farmer' responsible for the agriculture of many acres of land around our area gave me permission to site bee hives along the hedgerows of his field in Stoford bottom approximately 12 months ago.

Could I make it known that at any time on any day if persons find a swarm of bees in their garden hanging from benches, posts, bushes, trees or suchlike they can contact me on either my home phone 01722 790112 or 07713 026598 and I would be there to collect the swarm within the hour.

I have collected a few swarms from the Salisbury area, the last one being from Barford St Martin just last week. Thank you.
