    Stonebrood?

    What is this forum about again? O yes over-self opinionated people who have years of expert knowledge who use it to belittle and berate others with less years experience. What a positive message to give to any new beekeepers unfortunate enough to risk asking any questions or queries , shame to...

    Stonebrood?

    John Gilberdyke- thans for your comment- stonebrood is not in same book as Nessie, and if you did look at my original brood picture and compared it with the stonebrood pictures in scientificbeekeeping.co.uk you will see just how closely the resemble each other.

    Vaping newbie

    Hi all, good thread, although not seen much chat re RPE protection. Really for anyone new to vapping a big consideration is to ensure you wear an appropriate face mask, for example, Sundstrom SR100 half mask with combination filter SR 229-2 ABEK1HGP3. Gas Vap works well I use it every time, the...

    Security.

    Another option?, wont stop removal, and resiting in new kit but might stop any opportunistic S bags? I would't by the kit £60 but a printed poster might give a second thought?

    Added more Fondant- small amount left was frozen- wonder if ever a use for such as this?

    I have tended to follow "the Apiarist" advise as he was based less than 5k from me in Fife, so after removing the summer honey, I treat and feed fondant, gave each hive a full 12.5kg slab end of August, and all gone , so topped up, Fife has been very mild late season with flying foragers...

    Ok, I guess I must be bored ( not a footy fan :)) Also strapping on my hard hat, if anyone reads this and wants to reply lol Checked x3 hives yesterday- was sunny, no wind , no rain for once, around 5 deg C mind you. I knew x1 was hefting really well, felt stuck to ground. The other 2 not...

    First experience of hive theft issues!

    Definitely seeing more regular flooding events, likely an amalgamation of causes. Although I'm no expert but do feel the use of concrete and modern flood barriers miss the point and are trying to contain the cow after the gate left open. I would love to see us going back and managing the rivers...

    First experience of hive theft issues!

    Yeah, your right, never seen so much rain dumped in such a short time, my own garden was also flooded and in hindsight maybe I should have checked the field however there was only a small burn running around 200 feet away and it was about 20 feet below the field so was not even on my mind...

    First experience of hive theft issues!

    WELL!- what can I say, I have had a few days to investigate the attempted " theft" at my out Apiary. Today I eventually managed to speak to the landowner to see if he had noticed anything untoward. Turns out, he had changed mobile etc and we were not able to contact each other till I spoke with...
