    Poaching sites

    The same thing has happened to me, I am currently sharing a site which is a nature reserve. The association now keep pushing people that way even though the land owner is in two minds as to whether they want anymore Beekeepers on there. Problem is people thing it is a free reign dumping...

    Swarm Collectors List

    I agree, I'm not criticising other peoples views, I just think we need to do what is reasonably practicable to ensure safety.

    Swarm Collectors List

    Thank you Sam, I totally agree. I object to this closed list process to secretaries of the bka's. I know for a fact that this year nobody but two people will be offered the chance to gain the experience of collecting a swarm in our association! The bees will be brought on, either split and...

    Thornes must be feeling the slump-another sale

    Oh and there was the time that the misus took in my last delivery from the aforesaid company, dragged the box right over her foot and damaged her toe nail. At least she was cursing me for two different things in the same conversation, change is as good as a rest and all that! John likes the...

    Thornes must be feeling the slump-another sale

    Lol, it did cross my mind as I was completing my £150 order! Decided just to own up straight away before she hears from our neighbour who usually drags monsterous boxes in for me!!!
