Checked an apiary of 15 hives today all alive just a few feeling a bit lite gave them fondant.. The field next door looks promising dont know what the white flower is

I like your youtube channel. Did you ditch the heather loosener and revert to pressing ? . I just hate destroying all that comb in a press

Nice colour to the heather. The press looks like it did a good job on squeezing the wax

I do it every year no problem

BUMP Anyone else try one of these out ?

You could nuc the bottom queen and drop the top box down

I have not seen a season like this no stores in brood boxes massive colonies no summer honey feeding a month now 5 litres of 2 to1 syrup each visit .. hope the heather produces

I have BB ultra suit iv been stung trough it 5 times on the shoulders and back. The protective material isnt long enough on arms and legs either..The zips on ankles are terrible weak mine have broken and elastic on ankles is gone too.. very dissatisfied with this suit since it cost me around €500

Cleared around 30 supers today im rightly peed off . All around 20 percent moisture the bees have eaten up alot of supers too very bad summer honey crop

Dadant

I store all my supers and brood comb wet with a couple newspaper sheets between them never had a big issue with wax moth or buy an industrial roll of clingfilm and wrap your boxes

Your not suppose too nail bottom wires

I dont check bottom box for few weeks. If i did loose one it wouldn't bother me anyway its a risk im willing to take .

How did that work out ?
