Hey no worries, they wouldn't be my customers, they buy local. Selling our premium product is all that matters, more than enough customers for all of us.

Indeed, just sent 10 jars from Norfolk to Middlesex, Parcelforce (£16) signed for. Its just about getting people to taste it and appreciate what goes into it.

OK, maybe it was duff or too much water content, dunno never heard of it before but that's beekeeping, learn something new every day. This is from their brochure For supplemental winter feeding in particular, ambrosia Beefood Syrup is economical and has the following advantages: – Liquid...

12 oz £3.50 which means its a waste of time and I may as well just sell bulk at £2.50. However I get repeat orders direct from customers who cut out the shops so it is a good way of getting my label and product out there. I sell at markets and front door at the same price as shops charge.

As this is the beginners section I was offering an easy alternative for beginners with 1 or 2 hives. I have 4 x 25kg bags of sugar in the garage from Bookers which cost about £40 in total when they had an offer on a few months back. Not looking forward to getting out the burco in a few weeks and...

It was on the hive too long if it fermented. If it has not gone in a week they don't need it.

Here's an easy option, take £11 (3 jars of honey profit) and buy a 12.5kg drum of Ambrosia per hive (currently £10.80) from our association bulk buying) and feed it later in the season if they need it. It wont ferment, can be taken and stored very easily, keeps for ages and saves mess and time...

Took 130lb off 2 hives, chucked out a queenless hive, treated an apiary with MAQ's. Started a stocktake.

Had a non beekeeping friend with me who took some photos, he then sent me this, words are his not mine.

If the small queenless and fading they will all be old bees and gone in a few weeks. I would get swarm on proper frames, check after 3 days and feed, then tip out the small colony in front of it.

thanks for replies, as normal on here I didn't give you enough info in the original post. When it alarms out it is always a degree or so below set temp, it alarms by giving a single short bleep repeatedly for about a minute, towards the end of this minute the bleeps change and it gives a few...

Thanks Rab, however I have no instructions and the cabinet formed part of a load of bee stuff collected from a gent in Lincolnshire who was giving up. It's a home made cabinet. I can't find his phone number anymore as I got it several months ago and have only now used it. A it seems to work fine...

Forgot this.

Probably obvious but not too me. I have acquired a warmer cabinet with a light, fan and a digital temp display. I have set it to 47 and it runs quite nicely but it keeps bleeping all the bloody time. What am I doing wrong. Thanks Pete

Me too, good with the hoover, ironing and a bit of cooking.

Thanks Derek maybe our tree nest will feature in your talk. Hope it was a worthwhile trip

Apologies for hi jacking thread............... Chris B, just tried to message you but your inbox is full. Sent you an e mail.

I used them once last season, I wanted 6 floors in a hurry, no problem was the reply..............3 weeks later when they turned up I didn't need them anymore as I worked around it. I wont use them again. Big T and Mann Lake orders this week, Big T 3 days (1 item out of stock so rung me which...

From the state of their wings after a week on the borage scratching themselves isn't a voluntary thing, if they forage borage its compulsory.

I have a few acres of honey bee scratching posts near me, the farmer calls it Borage
