    Does anyone on here use Rose hives?

    Wow! This is tricky! Trying to have a discussion but not being able to mention relevent things. I apologise if I've overstepped my role or broken the rules. I think I'd best back out quickly. Best of luck. Tim

    The Rose Hive Method

    The administrator reminds me that advertising isn't allowed in this forum. Not a bad rule, of course, but it rather makes a nonsense of trying to discuss a book. I feel strongly about the way I was taught beekeeping many years ago - the way that is still taught these days. In many ways it is...

    Looks great, FenBee. Well done. Can we put that photo up on the wesite? Admin edit: Am I being "a little prickly "(see what I did there) or are you trying to tell members you have a website ?

    Rose OSB Hive

    Thanks, David. Although, I'm not trying to persuade anyone! I was happily using my hives and then people began to ask me about them, and then I was asked to give a talk on them for different associations and then in Stoneleigh at the BBKA Convention in a fortnight. So then the question arose...

    Rose OSB Hive

    Why the negativity? Hi Everyone, I just stumbled on this forum and am quite surprised at the negativity towards my hives. Of course, they’re not for everyone, but to dismiss them just because they’re new seems just a little silly, surely?! All the points raised here so far are dealt with on...
