    Hi Guys, I put varroa strips (al la Scientiffic Beekeepong) in all three colonies this year and skipped the Jan vape. So far so good - all flying today.

    Only answer is read many then make up your own mind. Reading none not quite the same unfortunately.

    I like the insecure Dads bit.

    I’m not sure it was fear of the law. More an unwillingness to accommodate boys. Have you come across ‘Raising Boys’...

    Buckfast F2 .... are they as bad as I'm reading about on the web??

    I don’t think that’s right. It’s the cockapoos bread together don’t produce cockapoos argument. Edit: fortunately cockapoo is a fairly simple search. 😄...

    Laying workers or new queen?

    Well that’s what I’m looking for given the direction of this conversation - but I’m not seeing it - where? Dani - why is your second photo not pollen of a whitish kind? Enquiring mind keen to learn. BIAB

    Eton/Harrow/Winchester

    I think there is a problem with some schools were academic success is not appreciated by peers. My own experience was along those lines - it was hard to be smart and cool until about the age of 14 when the penny seemed to drop for people. (14-18 I was cool, though my kids don't believe it 😉) I...

    Swarm from Colony of a May emerged Queen?

    Lol - this is how we talk don't you know. 😂 Yes we new what you meant; you stick with erupted! Generally the British are extremely tolerant of people using English as a second language - it's why we never bother to learn any second languages ourselves. 😉 Occasionally we rib each other about...

    Buckfast F2 .... are they as bad as I'm reading about on the web??

    Buckfast F2 .... are they as bad as I'm reading about on the web??

    I keep raising this subject for which apologies. I’m slowly understanding it (I think). If I’m right vigour (maybe it’s strictly speaking wrong to call it hybrid vigour) results from heterozygous alleles replacing the homozygous ones found to some degree in pure lines.
