Bubble bees have nothing to do with honey bees. What is the purpose of the bubble bee and they sting ? Can you provide pictures?

New to beekeeping, and have learnt more from these pages than all most all of the other Internet available sites, which seem to be mostly Amarican. Have been on beekeeping course and joined local association, I am loving every minute of this fascinating hobby, please keep the information coming.

I am about to embark on beehaus beekeeping, my nuc arrives Tuesday, and I would love to hear if bees in beehaus's have fared better than others over this long wet winter. I am convinced that this modern insulated hive is the way forward - just as we all have to have insulation in our houses to cope with the climate!
