I thought gog for "how ewe doin" was "iawn gont", or is that only caernarfon?

Vw do the caddy in all wheel drive, I've seen one done up with fierce tires and a roof rack used for rafting trips on the zambezi, looked very business like.

Wild turnip looks similar too

The "reveal". I get that excitement too, doesn't have to be queen raising either, every crack of a crown board has its anticipation.

No, a few gaps, but over 40 well nourished cells from that box, I'm well pleased. The photos were taken about an hour and a half ago. This is my third graft and I'd boosted the cell raiser with a Michael Palmer bee bomb after the second so thought they had enough oomph to raise four bars of...

My plans for grafting are generally set in motion 9 days ahead when I put brood above a queen excluder, once I've set that plan in motion I disregard the forecast- mostly.

A donor frame from another hive with some open brood will help them stick, they need to be really bloody minded to abandon open brood.

Sick colonies wont produce healthy drones

I have 5 out apiaries with about a dozen colonies in each within 2.5 miles of my main mating site ,which over the season will mate, god willing, a couple of hundred queens. I have other apiaries further out, hopefully as a bulwark against incursions of foreign drones. With regards to putting in...

What really interested me was the lack of diabetes in the Hadza where up to 60% of their calories in the summer months comes from honey. We should make much of this as another string to our marketing bow imho.

Anti vaxers 🙈

I found this fascinating. (All taken from an anthropologist's twitter feed) Government departments frequently publish dietary guidelines. But many hunter-gatherers & forager-farmer diets violate Western guidelines yet they have healthier hearts & much less chronic illness. Here are 3...

I prefer shot put

I'm also a big fan of the mini plus and regularly overwinter dozens, very useful bits of kit and very economical in resources, wish the frames lasted a bit longer as they do rot within a season or two.

15mm are fine for all but securing the wedge, which needs a bit more length.
