    Sending Honey to EU

    I congratulate you at 18 months in with that many hives. You are far braver than I ever was. I have never reached the dizzy heights of making it a business so I cant answer your questions....just stand in awe that you are not a shivering wreck on the floor :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2:

    We inherited two different pear trees. One ripens on the tree and is so juicy you have to eat it naked in the bath😱 the other ripen off the tree and can store in a fridge until Christmas. No idea what they are

    I humbly apologise, on another thread where I said I got 200 sheets of shallow wax in replacement for my 5 kilos of wax I took in, I actually only got 150......I hope I didn't raise people's expectations too much. Put it down to old age😆

    Pity because a smart meter let's you into so many cheaper tariffs. I have two meters as I have two incoming lines. On one I never pay more than 7p per kWh My house with an air source heat pump runs at 11p per kWh

    Recycling brood wax?

    Just took 5 kg of not very well filtered wax to thornes and for forty extra quid got 200 sheets of wired shallow and 50 sheets of wired brood. So much easier.

    IMPORTANT Deadline for registration of poultry

    I guess because it is a legal requirement with a max £5000 fine or 6 months inside. Registration is free! Is it worth the risk?

    IMPORTANT Deadline for registration of poultry

    Today, 1st October, is the last day to register your poultry on the .gov.uk site if you keep less than 50 birds. Good luck with that. The site is inundated with people trying!
