I would recommend that you waited for a Berlingo to show up. I use a MPV version 1,6 TDI 48/50 Mpg with a plywood tray which can be removed to replace seats back in if needed. Reg 2010 is not ULEZ compliant. Low loading for easy hive moving etc. Sliding doors. The new version is Electric only...

You need to make sure there is not a gap where the hood zips meet at the front when zipped up as far as they can go. I had a problem with a worker bee getting through gap and stinging me between the eyes. Oz armour sent me some thicker tabs to attach to zip pulls to block up the gap. No worries...

Thank You for posting this tip. I find it a useful piece of information.

Sorry misread question. Ignore

The only blue bags hanging in trees and bushes round my way are full of dog mess. Left by inconsiderate and lazy dog owners ! I like dogs by the way.

Glad your assessment went smoothly and was a good learning experience. Hopefully in due course you can look forward to receiving a certificate and sew on badge. Which will be presented to you or in my case stuffed through the letter box. I wear the badge with pride. Next step the "modules"...

Depends on the Assessor if you get a friendly one or one one who wants to show you how much he/she knows and what you do not ! I passed a few years ago but it was not a particularly pleasant experience. If you do not do it their way you could be in for a roasting. Good Luck. Thank you Essex...

Ventilated suits Avoid Z..da ventilated suits @ £99 -110 hood mesh brittle and size chart incorrect. (In my opinion) Holes in hood mesh. Full refund received after prompting and they sent return label so no return costs. Just saying.

Got mine by post today. "Good Job"as they say. Mine was made to take 5 commercial frames

Are these Bee Vacs still available this year 2015

Honey Prices Hi, I have a Beekeeper neighbour who sells his honey for £2.00 a Pound. He will not put prices up to a sensible level. He is quite happy to sell at £2.00. We are on very good terms and he had been keeping Bees for 30 years or more. He says his retiring soon he is 75 years old. I...

yes I agree that I should have introduced a frame of eggs to the original. Unfortunately none were available. I was only able to acquire sealed queen cells during that period. My take on all of this is that as the Bees were getting older and a long period without a queen. They were reluctant to...

Good Question .....Yes there was an excluder between the boxes (two sheets of newspaper held down by the Excluder)

I haven't introduced a frame of eggs yet. That is the next thing I will do.

No
