let us know how it goes

i think the bait can bring wasps to the area who were not there in the first place

i agree, they also love cotoneaster early in spring, right now they only seem to go to the balsam, they have not touched my borage at all.

looks very similar to my honey, there is loads of balsam by me and i think thats what you`ve got

does anyone when the sale starts?

its himalayan balsam,grows near streams and rivers. its not a native plant and the envoiromentalists hate it as it out competes the natrual plants, but the bees go mad for it.

never tried making cider is it easy?

red wine ahh the essence of life, good luck

the top one is joe louis, very nice picture.

its been taken down now apparently there a "rights issue"

i have been keeping bees for 2 years and have 2 colonies. ihave a couple of begginers books but now need something to take me a little further over the winter. am not after an advanced book here but don`t need to reread siting a hive etc. any suggestions? i also work shifts and so find it hard...

:iagree: cover mine up

worked for me, pressed that button about 3 times

a lot depends on the grapes, how strong you want the wine to be, how long you want to ferment it for, how much you make. like beekeeping there is not one way, whatever works for you.good luck

for 20 gallons i add 2-3 kilos of sugar, depends how dry it is to start, it also boosts the alcohol content.
