    Design technology A-level design ideas

    I would suggest the bigger problem is picking up a full hive and moving it 3 feet. For example if you need to work a caught swarm back into the apiary. Hives can be bulky, awkward and heavy, particularly if you are working alone.Imagine a device that could be positioned under the stand, lift...

    To be Cotonoeaster or not to be Cotoneaster

    Thanks all. I think your answers are fairly conclusive. I will try and get more berries in the autumn and try again.

    To be Cotonoeaster or not to be Cotoneaster

    A couple of years ago I saved some cotoneaster seeds from a tree in my local arboretum. I set the seeds and they grew. The original tree is more of a tree than many short stubby cotoneasters you find so I was quite pleased. It also has a bright red berry (source of seeds) I have noticed the new...

    Treating Wax moth and grub

I notice a bit of wax moth damage to the supers, and 5 or 6 large grubs and a couple of moths. Now the honey is spun I am looking to store the supers until spring but am worried about...

    Plant Identifier Plea

    Hi all, Can anyone identify this plant. I took the photo in Sweden during the summer. It stood about 5-6 feet tall and the bees were all over it. Thanks

    Bee poop on neighbours cars.

    Where can I possibly go from here. I am heartbroken. I arrived today to find 3 hives completely destroyed and 6 hives badly burned.

    Bee poop on neighbours cars.

    She is moaning about needing to wash her car twice a week so I don’t think she is going to accept a couple of car washes. Honey isn’t going to solve anything. The land is mine but it’s not my home so my car isn’t parked ther as much. In reality, I have 11 hives there so arguing that it might be...

    Bee poop on neighbours cars.

    Where do I stand? Bees are on my land and have been for about 5 years. A neighbour has had a new car. The car gets spatted with bee poop. In previous years this hasn’t been a problem but the new car has prompted her to complain. Not knowing what was causing the marks she has called environmental...
