Must have had an old QP saved on the GPSr - found bee room and the numbers eventually - oddly no luck at GZ.........
As the owner has not responded to my previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Unfortunately I hadn't had a look at the logs before and since the owner has not reacted to the many DNF logs and write notes yet and disabled the cache, it featured in my pocket query. But still I am glad that I ventured out as a spy because thus I was shown an extremely interesting place worth paying a visit to. But still it is sad that I wasn't rewarded with a find because only God knows whether I will ever return to Oxford again ... 
Hi
I notice that this cache appears to have been in need of attention for some time now.
Would the owner please check this cache and see if it still in place and give an indication of when it may be sorted out. Otherwise it should be archived.
If there is no response to this log after 14 days I may archive the cache.
Guidelines: "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."

Should have read the cache page before we attempted this but we didn't! I went inside the museum as required and will definately be back for a longer visit, we had dogs with us today. I gathered the relevant information then sat outside to work out the coords.
Coords in phone and we homed in on GZ at this point we thought oh dear! Lots of building work going on and access to where we spotted the cache was fenced off! We then read the previous logs, doh! As this was seen by us we will claim it as a find. If the Co does not agree, then please delete, maybe this one can be moved whilst the work is being done, it would be a shame to loose it. TFTC

I have been watching this for awhile. Surely this either needs altering or archiving
See the previous logs. The clue was easily found at a nice location, but we are afraid the cache is lost.
The cache seems to be behind a temporary fence.... The building which is being constructed on this site is supposed to be finished in mid-2017. So... The fence might be there for some time. Perhaps the cache (if it still exists) could be moved?
Like many others I worked out the coordinates easily enough but finding the cache was impossible due to building works.
Please could the CO confirm that the cache is still available during building works
Found the numbers after a bit of a search, did the maths, walked to GZ and found the cache - can see it but just can't get to it because of the 'obstructions' around GZ. Our Inspector Gadget arms didn't stretch that extra few feet today. If you attend you will understand. TFTC.
Building work at GZ and either we can't get to the hint item or if it's the next one along, no sign of the cache. Will try next time we are in Oxford
Found the co-ords but unless we're wrong, the cache is behind temporary fencing due to building work.
Visited the museum to pick the answers up for this one a few days ago but didn't have time to wait for the muggles to disappear so I could pick up the cache. Returned today and it was quiet enough to retrieve. TFTC
Excellent imaginative multi. No problems on a fine, sunny Saturday morning, apart from the time out taken to learn the bees' dance.
Our trip to Oxford today was only really planned inasmuch as we knew where we would be starting and then where we may be able to find some onstreet parking - but not knowing how long we would have there the planning stopped.
Decent long term parking established then we had longer than expected in town and so added a few caches to our circuit. This was, therefore, totally unresearched and came as something of a surprise. Super cache and my find once we relocated to GZ. Have a FP for the cache and bring us here, TFTC.
Find #: 9438, 12:22:00 PM on 11/07/2015
Caching with Butttercup today. A fantastic cache, we were both amazed at what we found at part 1, not what we were expecting at all. A short walk to GZ where sweet Butttercup soon had the cache. A fave, TFTC
The number and cache were both easily found. The cache is accessible from the footpath. TFTC bowly.
It was visiting the first waypoint of this cache that reassured me that I HAD visited the museum of natural history on a previous visit to Oxford. I remember being intrigued by the whole honeypot thing on that occasion (so why, oh why, does my memory completely fail to recollect any of the other fascinating things within these walls?! 
) The cache took me a moment or two to locate and I nearly gave up, but a previous log brought me down to earth and I triumphed. Thanks, bowly.
