so if more than one mouse enters, what do you do? ask him to wait whilst you re set the trap

it's easy, if like me you never feed sugar at any time, then you tell them, I DONT FEED MY BEES SUGAR

a simple way, if you can push a BIRO pen into any hole, a mouse can get through also (trust me, full time pest controller)

any size goes in my extractor, I do mainly cut comb or crush and strain

I have one very aggressive colony that I picked up this year as a prime swarm, the bee-keeper that they came from told me before hand that they were aggressive, my first reaction on hearing that was to start thinking about re-queening, but he had also said they were good honey producers, as they...

bigger than a super, smaller than a brood, it's early, just finished night work, if you want a inches measurement, I'll look later

I normal don't either, but replies on here from an earlier post made me think 48hrs won't hurt, better safe than sorry

great description, made me smile, but why pray tell did you say, rush inside to squeeze some out?? brace comb can be eaten wax and all

you have the answer already with your e bay link, you could receive a 100 different advice on prices, yet only you can decide the price take into account your outlay on packaging,labels take into account your time in getting it from hive to packets if your going to sell to shops, for them to...

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought labelling was only needed if selling via a shop or market, but from the door it was not needed?? although I have a comb cutter, it produced chunks slightly smaller than the packaging, so this time I used a cardboard template and cut the comb with a knife...

size is whether you have bought purpose comb boxes, as that denotes the size/weight, or whether your going to use old take away cartons in which case, cut to that size I use purpose boxes, and a comb cutter from T****** supplies, around 8oz in weight and sell at £6

you seem to imply that the ricochet is down to the rifle, which it's not, it's down to the shooter and the shot taken,
