These might work: Electric Foot Warmer Longest timer is 120mins but quarter of the price

surely it's time to change your username to Curly red fingers? :ROFLMAO:

any issues with it steaming up?

Is wool not used ? can't imagine it is that expensive, I know there were stories about farmers dumping it a few years ago as price they were getting for it was so low. Would probably need an initial treatment/disinfectant.

Would recommend worcester pearmain, lovely eating apple. Do you have deer nearby? These seem to love munching on the buds on young apple trees and then rutting against them later in the year. They seem to ignore willow, oak, chestnut etc.

Their equipment and hives all look brand new on the website, is it their first time extracting? Could get interesting very quick “Children are coming free, two children accompanied by 1 adult, adult tickets must be booked.” will be a few traumatised kids after this

Are you able to breed bees that can dodge swallows?

All well and good until she can't mate due to poor weather or gets picked off by a swallow, do you attest that to bad genes and requeen that colony with a queen from a luckier hive?

"the very experienced bee keeper I got them from" This is always a red flag for me, when you are new to beekeeping, anyone who has a few hives will seem like a very experienced beekeeper, it doesn't mean they are the fountain of knowledge. He may be good and you can probably learn a lot from...
