So he's gone to play in the garden with the chickens and the bees.

how long have you been keeping bees?

does it take much work?

eta - does that cat bother them and do they bother the cat?

We don't have a proper hive at the moment as our garden is too small. Friends of ours do though, and it's great - very easy to keep, they don't even wear their suits most of the time as they very rarely get stung.

We have a bunch of solitary bee houses, and grow things like lavender and rosemary specifically to attract them. They haven't pollinated our cherry tree yet though!

The cat likes to try and catch them. I've not seen him get one yet, but we've only had him 6 weeks...

Sorry to go off topic. To learn about bee keeping look on this website: http://www.bbka.org.uk/about/local_associations/fi... to find your local association and they will be able to give you all the information you need to know.

New additions to Bacardi Hall on Thursday, Ratbag 1 and Ratbag 2. About 12 weeks old, he, the black and white, is soft as a brush, she, the taby, bit timid and bit stroppy (typical female ), but I'm working on her.

The striped one is clearly the devious ringleader.

Bacardi... You will be dead soon.

You may be right, I nearly died when I just opened a can of drink. The fssst sound had her startled and the noxious fart odour nearly felled me! She''s only small, but that was weapons grade!

I don't think the curtains are going to last much longer either, when they have their mad 1/2 hours... which usually last about 2! He is very laid back and she is definitely the trouble maker, even though she has that 'who me?' look.

The little stripey one looks so villainous I bet she has a tiny Bond Baddie on her lap...

Taking pics of a yawning cat really does get some good facial expressions

Very handsome cat, but why call your cat 'cat'?

I must admit you're the first person who's twigged that Neko means cat in Japanese.

I think it fits her well, I've always said black cats are like essence of cat, so "cat" in another language seemed apt

I had a cat called Ebi once. For those also in the know about Japanese, Ebi means prawn, and this was because I rescued him from the street [he was pure white but covered in a gloopy tar/glue-like substance], and all I had to feed him, while a friend went to cat some cat food, was some dried shrimp.

Was funny going to the local Japanese McDonalds and seeing their Ebi Burger on promotion.

Nooooo, Ebiiiiii!
