    Bumble bees

    I'm getting bumble bees in the workshop, what is attracting them ? The smell of oil or solvents or bright colours on tools ? They're not as troublesome as wasps, but everytime I reach out for a pair of pliers or screwdriver there seems to be a bee trying to get pollen from it. :scratchhead:

    Dairy farmers quitting the industry in high numbers.

    Where will the Milk come from going forwards? In my own very local area 3 dairy farms have gone or are about to sell the herd in the last 12 months, all three have been driven out by the low returns for the amount of work and/or the investment needed to carry on milking not being worthwhile...

    Milk taint

    Thanks for all the suggestions. The taint is definitely in the silage. Changed silage, taint stopped. But we still don’t know what weed has caused the taint. Will just have to separate the weedy silage somehow next time I suppose
