Do you know which ones have not gone, its a 250 mile round trip for me and if 25% of the stands (at the moment) are not going I am not sure I will.

That's good then just hope not too many other sales and exhibitors drop out. See you there

Just had Freeman & Harding on the phone telling me they were not going and cancelling my jar order and refunding me. Also told me a decision is imminent as to whether the event is taking place due to the winter weather. They need to decide early as overseas traders will be setting off soon.

If you need a hand Simon I am only up the road and have plenty of fondant.

I have about a years worth in stock which rolls year on year.

thanks both. Pete

Has anybody got a 30-40 question quiz that I could use please. Preferably with a few pictures and stuff. A link that I could download or a dropbox thing would be easiest, many thanks. Pete

Yes of course. Believe me they are looking at everything, every option, new, old and tried and tested. There is a lot of sharing between France and UK. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes other than just a few bods gazing skyward looking for a nest. We all need to do our bit too, get...

The e mail; Dear Fellow Beekeeper I am writing to you in my capacity as the Event Coordinator of IMYB 2017 and not as a trustee of the BBKA. You may be aware that several letters have recently been circulated by the BBKA Chair and President which have made a number of inaccurate and also...

This time about the IYB 2017 that they just hosted at our expense. As an association chairman I have had 2 letters and an e mail from various parties clearing things up and putting their side...................

So not a thread about Asian Hornet discovery in Scotland anymore..............

Nothing on the jungle drums around here of any swarms. I have looked through over 50 hives in the last couple of days and only 1 of them had any drone brood. Swarming is dependent on many things, location, hive type, colony size, nature of the bees you have etc. I am confident that mine wont be...

Ah, no QE, so there may be brood in the super too. You need to wait until you have had a full look and can ascertain the real strength of the colony, full frames of brood and full frames of bees.
