• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I usually have a couple of queen wasps crawl out from hibernation under my benches this time of year and one year I had the most magnificent male stag beetle.

I was turning this morning when out of the corner of my eye I spied this sleepy creature emerging from the wood stash. Never seen a queen hornet before... what a beautiful creature! About twice the size of a queen wasp. I took her down to the bottom of the garden and set her down under a bush. When I looked half an hour later she was gone. Funny to think that all the time I was working in there over the winter she was snoozing away waiting for summer.

Brought a hornet out of the house this week.... Had a check with the neighbour to make sure it wasn't an Asian hornet. A rather large beasty it was!

We've got a honey bees' nest in the next door shed on the edge of our patio.

I left all the weeds in the garden to flower so they didn't have far to forage.
