OH relayed that 2 were stung to death and 2 jumped or ran into a pond and drowned. It never mentioned the owner of the horses unless the owner was the same as the owner of the bees?

How tragic

 

[flowerlady]

I wonder how many people keep their horses near bee hives?

 

[flowerlady]

Amazing a thread about a swallows nest gets 13 replies a thread about 4 dead horses gets 2 other than the OP. You lost are bl**dy amazing!!!!!

 

[cyearsley]

That really is tragic, sounds like it was same lady who owned both or maybe I read it wrong, that is horrendous

 

[pedilia]

I saw this in H&H, poor,poor animals,very scary as I had just moved my horses because I discovered this in their field.

That's awful. Poor horses. My first pony had a huge scar on his hind leg from where he'd jumped over a barbed wire fence while running away from bees.

Not sure have you seen Welshstar thread about bees and horses someone has recently put hives next to their field.

And?

 

[Amaranta]

Oh goodness how tragic, poor horses, feel for the owner too

 

[Nickijem]

How absolutely awful.
No wonder my horse went completely mad when I was riding down the lane a couple of months ago and a swarm of bees suddenly appeared on top of us. Jerry went mad, bucking and prancing til we had ridden through them!
I will certainly be more wary of riding near bee hives in future.

 

[flowerlady]

And?

And What??

 

[Fii]

How horrible!
I have a few friends who keep bee's, and one of them had a few hives a couple of years ago that were quite nasty, they would sting the cows and anyone who went to close.
Most of the time bee's are quite happy going about their own busyness though , and would'nt bother anyone!
I feel very sorry for the owner!!

And thanks flowerlady, i think i am quite amazing as well!!

 

[oscarwild]

Thats such tragic news. Poor horses and I do feel for the owner.
If I read it right it was the same owner of the horses who had the bees aswell.

 

[Tormenta]

And What??

Why do you assume people don't care because for a short while a swallows nest thread got more replies than yours? Quite assuming of you don't you think? And why should you presume what people should reply to is of more importance to you?

I won't even bother answering that

By the time YO contacted they had gone, so put the horses back and to my horror they came back again, 2 days later they had disappeared and havn't returned yet. Fingers crossed thats the last we will see of them

Good. Stop being presumptious and assuming people do not care.

We once had a swarm build a hive like that in a short time the sky was almost black with them ( following a queen we were told). Brother rang a beekeeper and he came and collected it and the bees to take back to his hives (so didn't cost anything). I think he said they only live a short time (about 3 weeks I think he said from memory)

Wind your neck in and stop looking for an argument

 

[CorvusCorax]

What's going on with the bees? Is it a seasonal thing? Dog here got killed a couple of weeks ago, he was stung over 750 times.

 

[Ranyhyn]

LMFAO whats going on ere then!!!


RIP horses

Not at all. In fact I was about to reply to your thread about an experience I had read of on another forum regarding bees (Out on a hack) but your remark put me off. That was all, I happen to care about horses and swallows.
