Sorry Jenkins, I don't like pointing out when people make mistakes as its not constructive but your mistake could cost the questioner points and a fine. You are mistaken in law, "Access only" is a sign indicating an enforceable traffic regulation, it means you can only drive on that road to get...

If the road has legitimate signs marking it as "Access Only" then it is not a private road. These signs can only be erected on a public highway after traffic regulations have been approved. You can easily check to see if there is a current legitimate traffic regulation in place by contacting the...

So simple when you explain it this way. Thanks again.

Wessexmario, I appreciate what you are saying about the mesh and in theory you have a point but my boys wont stay inside it for long. They have had a go at beekeeping and know the precautions but then again 10 year old boys tend to forget the rules when having fun. I don't want a hive knocking...

Thanks guys, as always this site is a font of knowledge. Perhaps I have taken my books and the three mile rule too literally, either that or my bee's don't read the same bee books. I keep hearing about twigs at the entrance but I don't know the reason. Can you educate me? (well a little anyway...

I have always kept my bees in my garden (it's large) but our children have had the nerve to want to set up a trampoline in what is currently my apiary. Bee's and bouncing kids don't sound like an ideal combination to me! Luckily I have had two offers of sites for out apiaries so I have decided...

We have badgers passing through our apiary every night. They don't go near our hives they just carry on past and go about their business. In four years we've had no problems from the badger.

Fair play to Chris B, I love it when someone uses their smarts to beat the system ;-)

Less beekeepers or just less assocaition members? Are people stopping beekeeping or are they just not renewing their association membership. I find our local association to be a bit of a clique and also the meetings are boring. I will carry on beekeeping but I will be going it alone this year...

If you are making a profit you are doing better than me, my better half doesn't know the half of what I spend on beekeeping gear let alone how much honey I sell! If she did she would be out on a shopping trip for new clothes as revenge! I know I have only been beekeeping for three years, I am...

At £5 a jar of honey thats.......... MAybe I shouls sell my hives now and buy some new ones when the weather picks up and the price of hives drops!

We all make mistakes, even so you are brave to admit them on this forum! Someone says you won't do that again, well I always say that I only mistakes once. My second wife does not agree :icon_204-2:

It's easy to be rude and insult people when you are a broadband connection away from them. I always ask myself, "If I as stood in a pub within arms reach of someone six foot six tall would I say it to them?" if I would then I am brave enough to put it on the internet, if not then I wont.

We all make mistakes, even so you are brave to admit them on this forum! When I am perfect I will criticize you, until then all I can do is offer my commiserations. Hopefully an emergency cell will save the day.

Perhaps they will let you buy one in installments and supply a leg at a time, then all you will have to do is stitch it together when you have all the installments paid :biggrinjester:
