    Over heating question?

    Hi Steve I have poly hives with mesh floor and no roof ventilation, they get full sun from sunrise to pretty much sunset, never experienced the Bees having a problem, even the wooden type were ok.

    My first post !

    Well if they knock them over on a warm day they might get a shock !!!! Shame you are experiencing this though, i stopped using two sites as footfall increased. Good luck

    Lanstroth V National hive

    Well im going to go the other way, nowt to do with hive size but more to do with the lugs on the frames, ive had LS for 6 years but struggle with big hands and a small area to grasp, poly, hive tool and fat fingers, not a good combination. And i switched from cedar to poly, the difference again...

    What colour is your bee suit?

    Olive green or White, no difference to bees, just dont ever wear black gloves or wrist bands.

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Nice weather for a change so started tidying the apiary, emptied one hive that was lost, woodpeckers left them alone this year bit surprising with all the snow we had. Could be 50% loss but wont know till we get warmer

    Such a thing as a Langstroth Nuc box?

    So the hunt still appears to be on for a Correx box for those Langstroth users who wish to sell some nucs. Is EB the only outlet ? ive googled without finding an alternative that is as cheap, i have the Modern Beekeeping nuc boxes but if i were to sell a nuc in these its going to bump up my price.
