    Buy or make a bee escape?

    Rhombus every time! I used to use the Porter bee escapes but they get clogged with propolis AND there were always some bees left in the supers.

    Selling honey to restaurants

    Wow.....£10.00 a lb......well done! As I’m not far from you means my price won’t be competing. More power to your elbow as it’ll hopefully demonstrate to others in Shropshire that we‘re selling a premium product!

    seed viability

    Sungold is the sweetest tomato by a long way. Only slightly larger than a cherry though for those who prefer ‘normal’ size tomatoes. Also like the ‘boring’ Alisa Craig which, if you save the seed, will come true. Suits a cheapskate like me!

    Oh No! Not Matchsticks Again?

    I now know why I stopped reading BeeCraft! I too have been beekeeping for 10 years; pontificate to others, I think not. Rather pompous if you ask me!

It’s why the garden centres make a fortune selling bedding plants and soft veg from March onwards! The farmers here have been known to pull their...
