UNDERGROUND BEES NEST
When I was out spraying one day, I came across a bee nest that was underground! This was highly unusual and the professional beekeeper said that this was the first time he had seen such a thing in 20 years. After asking me for a shovel, the bees were moved to another place and some of the honeycomb can be seen above
A FERRET & 2 WEASELS CAUGHT ON LOT 29!!!
The first Ferret shown on CatchIT in the PFHW area was caught on Lot 29 using a DOC250 and it measured 61cm from tip of nose to end of tail. One of the weasels caught on Lot 29 measured only 17cm. People have been astonished at the difference in sizing. The weasels were caught using a DOC200.
UPDATE: A Stoat has been caught! A second has been sighted in a trail camera.
