Can anyone help please I would like to make some hives out of pine, I can plane it up, saw it up and all that but not sure which is best to buy from the timber merchant. Planed or unplaned planks? Cheaper unplaned I expect & re-saw it after but would like to know how others do it. Thanks

M,M Quote "possibly a failing queen or just mis fire queen taking time to start or perhaps DWV as the hive had a 5000 drop or well could be cold spell chilled the brood "......or What will your treatment be for the varroa?

Mine made that noise last season, they chewed a new entrance for themselves!

I haven't heard of Knapweed I'll look it up. PH testing soil as I type, find out what condition the soil is in.

Hello all, I possibly have a field that I could plant up with bee friendly plants. It is in Cornwall so acidic soil. The field will be left for hay so this would have to be included in the grand scheme of it. Now my question what would people suggest to plant? Ps I can also get seeds in big...
