We had a very good afternoon on Saturday with Stuart, sat in a cafe overlooking the harbour at Beaumaris watching the world go by sampling the food & beverage on offer. This time of year its good to steal an away day, it won't happen after the end of this month.

Must be a certain resident of Anglesey that breeds exceptional Buckfast queens methinks.

We have had a recent full pallet delivery from Murray and can confirm the Hoffman spacing. We also received 14x12 frames with vertical wires which I really like, I do put a little zigzag into the wire as it stops the wax slipping, I have been doing the same when wiring our own for a long time...

Definitely, and the silicone top & cleaning caps. I like the tool that much I purchased another so we can split into two teams to get the job done quicker.

I will have six (maybe a few more) Langstroth nucs ready for collection from TF6 Telford at the middle to end of May. Choice of 2024 Stofen or Melo bees Buckfast Queens, the same as we use in our own production colonies. These were started on brand new kit & I'm only selling as running out of...

Currently I have 23 pieces of 2022 comb & 274 of 2023 plus 83 rounds in our freezers (3) and 19 full frames. It's the only way to store it without crystallisation. Full frames have to be handled extremely carefully as the cappings just fall off with the slightest knock.

That error unfortunately comes up more often than you would think 🤔.

Even though its only ten minutes travel for us, we won't be going. A show definitely designed for the beginner, to initiate the unitiated. We have colonies really close to the site, I'll give a wave hello if we ever get a break in the weather enough to get on with inspections.
