Oh I see.....buy a lottery ticket

Oh pure heaven. Found this giant puffball in my apiary. Just had a huge slice with a fried egg on top. Absolute heaven😀

There are hundreds of varieties of daffodils of all sorts of colours and shapes. We used to show them, more of a challenge than you think!

That works two ways. If they think it is going to run out then they buy in bulk and you get a queue when the new season honey comes in. Also, it always looks at its best just extracted. As long as you sell it it doesn't really matter how you do it☺️

if you think they are both viable to get through the winter then don't combine. you never know what spring will bring with queenless hives!

I have 12 oz hex at the gate but say they can ring for 1lb round jars. £6 v £7.50 so more honey for your money in the bigguns. An amazing amount go for the hex for presents and the pound jars for themselves!

The only problem you may come across with that is if you have put in the QX and then get a really cold spell they have a large area to heat with a barrier in between.

It really is easier putting the wax in without both bottom bars but ...... Horses for courses

That is what I used to get given by the bullies at school 🤢

Probably not but it' s easy for people like me to understand 🙂

Make them in advance but leave off the bottom rail opposite the flappy bit on the top bar. When you need wax in just add wax, nail on flappy bit and remaining bottom rail. That way you can keep wax fresh and wrapped untill needed. Always nail bottom rails from bottom up and not through from the...

Nails.

I use a cheapish brad and staple gun. My Brad's are 16mm and I use them for frames

Why not use pva

We get ours growing inside in a well lit room that never goes below 12⁰ end of Jan beginning of Feb but we use a grow light to stop them going leggy. You really need something to keep the rain off them to reduce the chance of blight. Whitefly are our biggest problem
