Hello, I'm afraid they are sold, subject to collection. If it falls through I will contact you. Thanks for your enquiry.

I have sent you a private message in reply, if you have any problems finding it please get back to me. Many thanks.

Yes it is still available. I would be looking for around £60 for it. Thanks for looking.

I have for sale 2 Thornes red cedar WBC hives, each with 3 supers. Three years old and in excellent condition. I also have various bits and pieces such as smoker, hive tool and a lift which needs making up. The is also a Thornes bees on a budget honey processing kit in good condition. Please pm...

You really shouldn't leave until an hour after the injection. I have offered to wait in the waiting room after my treatment when they have been especially busy, but I am not even allowed to do that. I had a rough patch at about the same stage as you, and still suffer extreme tiredness, but once...

I have just completed my initial 12 weekly injections and all is going well. I would be interested to hear how you are feeling regarding tiredness, I was fine for first 3 injections then found for the following 6 or 7 that it was impossible to stay awake beyond tea time. This has now improved...

I am 5 weeks in to desensitisation following a reaction requiring a hospital stay. I wondered if anyone else undergoing this treatment has the same response as me. When my 6 year old son goes to bed at 8pm I have to follow him, it wipes me out for a couple of days, the first two weeks were fine...

I should also add that if anything like this happens, the advice is to CHEW 2 piriton tablets immediately, which buys a little time if you are waiting for help.

This happened to me a few weeks ago, as I posted at the time - I had a night in hospital and was discharged by a doctor who offered no follow up but said lets wait and see what happens next time you are stung. I wasn't happy with this so was referred to an immunologist. I got blood test results...

I have just been referred to begin treatment in the Lincoln area, following an allergic reaction as posted earlier. I believe it is NHS funded nationwide where it is available.

Thank you again for your replies and advice. This is why I posted this thread, I knew that some of you out there would have some experience , and I wasn't happy with how things were left on discharge. To be told, basically, to wait and see what happens next time I get stung doesn't really seem...

Thanks for the replies. I realise nurofen and ibuprofen are the same that is why I wondered whether this could be the cause after several days. If so will certainly avoid taking if likely to be inspecting bees. As to number it is difficult to see, it felt like an awful lot yesterday, but harder...

I took one nurofen each morning for 3 mornings, last one a week ago. I have heard that ibuprofen could cause problems, could this be the case after this amount of time?

Yesterday afternoon my bees decided to crawl down a gap in my gloves and sting me multiple times on the forearm and palm of the hands. This was entirely my fault as weather conditions weren't perfect but I have been struggling to find a good day to look at them. I was aware that I had received...

My 5 year old son had a friend round for tea last night, and he put honey, salad cream and tomato ketchup on his chips-he said it was delicious! I'm not actually recommending this by the way.
