Some links to other pages that you may find useful, interesting or amusing.

A whole lot of "knowledge videos" (in german, mostly) are at  www.IWF.de   In particular search for "bienen" and you will have 61 short videos about beekeeping to choose from. Many are about foul brood diseases but E394 on page 4 is an old film of two Wesfalia beekeepers making a straw skep with willow binding. Every skepmaker should watch this one.

If you are interested in corn dollies and other decorative straw work, go to www.somethingcorny.co.uk   There are photos of beautiful work done by Elaine Lindsay who lives in Scotland and makes items to order.

Have a look at my brother's writings. 
Olly writes short stories such as "The Science Park" and intriguing facts in "Ellie's Little Book of Interesting Facts"
Find him by searching for Olly Buckle on  www.associated content.

Solitary and Bumble bees are on show in the wonderful German site at www.wildbienen.de/wbschutz.htm
Obviously it's best if you can understand the German but the pictures tell you a lot of what you need to know and are plentiful and very good. 
Good source of ideas for "bee hotels". If you want bees in your garden but without the trouble of beekeeping in hives, look for ideas here.
You can do a machine translation on Google, but it's a travesty and hardly worth the effort.
