Hi, I was just wondering if anyone attended and watched this lecture? If so was it any good and did anyone manage to record it? Mark.

Thank you, that makes sense.

Are they your own over wintered queens reared in North wales or have you imported them? Or maybe you have managed to rear some early queens in N. Wales but I doubt it given the awful weather.

I will be there too, I am also doing the mead making, I signed up for it last year but it was cancelled.

Thank you for trying.

Hi Erichalfbee, Did you manage to speak with the people at your association? Thank you

I can meet you somewhere inbetween if they are interested

jenkinsbrynmair, I am 5 mins down the road from you.

I am selling my Sumlimox which has not been used much due to reducing number of colonies. I am looking for £250 ono, collection. from Wales or may be able to arrange delivery at cost price. Mark.

I use the Abelo ones, they are very effective but an odd size. Not really sure what hives they are designed to fit.

I think langstroth is a better system if you live in an area where you get very large brood nests. The big disadvantage on a larger scale is the costs of frames etc as I very rarely see seconds available.

I was very polite and just informed them of what happened, but the response was shocking and a complete stone wall lack of any help and it was implied that I was lying, I was expecting the postal service to cover it but was told they dont cover bees and they made the mistake so there is nothing...

I called royal mail and was told that the contents were not covered as the extra was not paid, The supplier said they cant insure them, I thought the same as you but it appears not.

Distance Selling regulations state its the supplier that is responsible for any issues and need to provide a refund or replacement. In this case royal mail would have provided this service for them if they had offered or included it the correct cover.
