You’re not wrong👓🤣

Dug a small, but stubborn tree out, including roots, with a spade and a mattock, ten feet away from hive 3 with bees coming and going. I was completely ignored. So pleased as a new queen was raised in August and I am unsure of the colony’s temperament.

At least his bees won’t need to forage for water.

I couldn’t see eggs until I bit the bullet and bought varifocals

Where in Dorset are you? Have you made contact with your local association- I’m sure they could put you in touch with someone with vaping gear. I’m in Dorset, but not West and would be happy to help if lockdown rules allowed.

Looks like you’ve got some serious woodworking to do...

Good for you. The boxes look good too👍

Another sage green here, plus a white one two sizes too big as a back up. (If I encounter really nasty bees I could wear them both).

Having gone the brood and a half route with a couple of mine, I have experienced the constraints it brings with two sizes of frames in the brood area. I would suggest double brood as a better way forward if your bees are prolific. Certainly sounds a promising position to be in.

Hi Beeno, I had a rat looking in at me through my patio doors yesterday....I will be recovering my rat trap from my daughter at the weekend😳

Glad I brought that up now😀

Have a word with Beeno about the pigeons....😃

If they paid the French £28 million, they could “escort“ them to Cornwall instead of Kent. But then it wouldn’t be “cheap“ migrant labour....

Thanks Jenks, that‘s clarified it for me.
