    Bees residing in pub wall.

    The Bees in the wall is still very much in Whittlesford, although I can't tell you anymore than that as I only drove past it over the weekend. May be worthy of a visit for research purposes!

    Any extractors for 14x12?

    Thank Sean For an item that is so expensive I'm amazed at how little info you get on websites. I have emailed a few suppliers but not had a single reply yet. Would be perfectly happy to but second hand but there doesn't seem to be that many about. Guess you need to be in the right place at the...

    Any extractors for 14x12?

    Hi, I want to buy my first extractor and have seen some radials that take deep frames tangentially. Does anyone know of a current model that will take a 14x12 frame? As all my hives are 14x12, and it's a lot of money, I felt it would be useful to have that option when they decide to pack a...

    choice of table saw

    Thanks for all the advice. I have been getting 8'x4' cut down at B&Q so ability to cut down full sheets not so important if it's going to cost a fortune. Is it simple enough to make or buy guides that will allow me to form the top and bottom rails on a table saw safely? Some saw manuals say no...

    choice of table saw

    Hi I've started making a few bits for my 14 x12 hives but find my sliding mitre saw and router less than perfect. I would like an accurate table saw that could ideally cope with an 8' x 4' sheet of ply that can pretty much do all I need to make up a hive from scratch. I've got about £200 but...
