    Wellies.

    I agree I have had expensive wellies and whether its me but they have never last any longer than the cheaper ones. Also its not as heart breaking when you get a split in them.

    Gloves...true marigolds or just that genre of clove?

    I use these, they have lasted longer than anything else I have used. I just cut the end of the index finger and thumb if I need to pick up a queen. They clean up well as well with washing soda.

    carniolan Queens

    I know my bees normally perform well but they don't seem to be working as well as normal. usually they have well over a super by now but some have only got half a super this combined with being a pain to inspect has made me wonder whether to put some new carniolan blood into them.

    carniolan Queens

    Well it wont be isolated mating just wondered if in general with normal mating if the young queens would be fairly productive and calm. I usually breed my own queens which do go back to carniolans but very distant. at the moment some of my hives have bred some very defensive queens. its not F2...

    carniolan Queens

    Hi just a question do queens bred from carnie queens have the same sort of temperament or are they defensive. Not asking to start an argument just would like everyone's opinion who have used them and bred from them.
