What a lucky sight to see in action. Great photo!

Thanks, just ordered the 336...no doubt will be tripping over them for next 2 years :rolleyes:

Hello, So second year of beekeeping for me. Started the season full of beans and really enjoyed it. After harvest and at the wind down stage of feeding for winter etc I got a feeling of burnout. Felt like it took a lot of effort to motivate myself to do anything beekeeping. The hives are all...

Thought it was maybe just me being a beginner and this was the reality of how much honey to expect. Good to know it’s just been crappy old Scotland weather.

Love it! Also love the fact its overkill right now. Start as you mean to go on though!

Label the bucket with the same information you label jars, and then its just another customer buying your honey. If the shop want to fill a paddling pool with it and give customers spoons thats up to them!

Another vote for Honeybee Democracy, reads like a story book, fantastic

The more you start learning about how the BBC make their shows the more you learn its mostly nonsense.

Probably more like starving black bee's! It was actually 14km, oops https://youtu.be/pkJQ4GUSj8I?t=736

I have around 10 acres to play with at home. I plan to keep on growing until they stop filling supers. I've heard in a talk of bees being found foraging up to 13km away.

Murray McGregor has hives all over Scotland and frequently posts the state of weather, flow and whats flowering in certain areas. His twitter would be my first stop to see if its worth moving to the heather in your area! https://mobile.twitter.com/calluna4u?lang=en

I picked up a swarm from a roof space in Glenalmond estate last month.... You know how to give someone the fear!!

Mead?

Clever! I like it.

Interesting thanks, good to hear from you above me and Poly Hive below me! :D
