    One of our BKA members has a problem

    Not too keen on your wording, maybe you might like to edit it. No need to be offensive.

    running bb with runners and DN1

    I have them right on the end, the bees stick them into place and I actually quite like the extra piece on the frame. It helps me handle the frames but I think I am the only one who thinks this😁. It also keeps them clear of the rails as the extra height does cause problems. I have never noticed...

    I wouldn't with only six frames of brood. Get them as strong as you can to get through winter

    running bb with runners and DN1

    I have always used DN1 and plastic ends as I bought a load of different second hand frames and the ends made it easy to swap around but I am now slowly changing to DN4 just because it is a bit easier. I also used to clean ever frame and rewax it, as I get older I find I am using more for...

    Hex jar true oz and ml

    But at the end of the day, as long as you put on the label the weight you have put in the jar it doesn't matter what size it is. I don't really see the problem unless you buy pre printed labels

    Hex jar true oz and ml

    You can prove all this to yourself by putting an empty jar on a kitchen scale, set it to 0 and then see how much honey fits in the jar. That is what goes on the label in grammes

    What's flowering as forage in your area

    I can't believe how it's turned itself round. The flow here has been tremendous and I have had two boxes of honey off what was an early swarm I collected. Changed the queen for a quieter one and they have flourished. Up to four hives with three of them doing really well. I was gutted at the end...

    THE LIME HAS PRODUCED....a couple of boxes of the best tasting honey in the world.

    I have a box just like that too 😆 and I have just extracted it. Once in a blue moon the lime produces and this must be a blue moon . Delicate with a floral taste, a green tinge to a clear honey. And a couple more boxes to come off :party:

    Custom table runners for village show

    Pixart printing is a brilliant company. They did a 2m x 1m sign for me all the way from Italy for £20. It is real fun designing it using their web site too. Good quality, hasn't faded.they do everything from banners to bags

    A Bit of a Mess to Sort Out

    The only problem as I see it is if your queen is above the clearer board. If she lays in either of those two boxes they are never going to leave her.

    I tried to buy some lids from my local supplier. 100 twist lids that weigh nothing. £20 for the lids ........ £16 for the postage ........you having a laugh! They wouldn't budge!
