Strong smell of ivy from the hives today

Nope the opening post was an attempt to raise the level of debate from what had been achieved before. But as per usual you had to lower it to calling somebody an ***** because you don't agree with them. Thereby putting off people who may want to write something. The bullies certainly rule...

I swear you troll every thread I contribute to, and that mixed up reply is a perfect example. I know enough about allergies to know that people dying on planes due to breathing in peanut vapours is a myth. And having double checked that I've convinced myself than an allergy warning on honey...

Your first three examples are exactly why if had an allergy of any sort I'd never eat out. Restaurants are chaotic places. Some places have a really high churn of staff, they can be very young or one step away from young offenders. It's bonkers to me that you would risk it. Your last example...

Thanks for this I'll check it out. It's worth noting the recent deaths (as far as I'm aware) have all been from mislabelling or human error rather than cross contamination.

If you know you have an allergy, then why are you ending up in A&E multiple times? Surely once is enough?

That is a brilliant picture!

It's actually something we should all be aware of. Like not filling up the bird feeder around supers waiting for extraction. Or pouring out the muesli next to the honey settling tank. And making other people in the family aware of this too. I know some people use ex peanut sacks as top...

I see in the latest BBKA magazine Andy Pedley has vaguely raised the issue of adding (for those of us who use domestic kitchens for extracting etc) allergen labelling to our honey. This has been raised on here before and I think unfairly dismissed by the usual posters. Mr Pedley says this is...

Thanks I'll check out the links. I'm very reluctant to buy direct from China, although on eBay that is becoming increasingly difficult.

I assume it stores images away from the camera which I like the idea of.

I was under the impression there were a lot of 'engineers' into beekeeping.

Thanks for that. Searching eBay for buck converter came up with an adafruit MPM3610 TLV62569 board. That would probably do the job.

Yes but there are way more honest people.

Could you expand on that? It's been a few decades since I messed with electronics and that was at a very basic level. Well I think I've read the built in regulator uses something like 6mA. Assuming my cheapo 2500mAh batteries actually give me something like 2/3rds of that, then they'll be...

I'm pretty keen not to burn my house down so I won't be buying batteries, chargers etc off eBay. I also suspect they'll be a pain to recycle. But thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping I could do something simple like lower the voltage from three AA rechargeable batteries with a schottky or...

This is the problem. The kid that broke the jars has been accused of some pretty disturbing things with a zombie knife. I know his mother though so in some ways he would be the easiest to deal with. My other suspect has hyper protective parents, and I've been warned that I should not accuse...

Thanks, I'd seen those. They still seem quite exotic and hard to get hold of? 1500mAh is about 8 quid for an unbranded battery? There is nowhere I can really hide a wildlife camera or position it without capturing every passing walker.

Yes I know you can buy security cameras ready made, but for various reasons I've rejected them. I sell all my honey from a little stall at the end of the drive. It adjoins quite a busy tourist footpath, but there are no passing cars and is generally off the radar of the local kids. Last year...

A handful of long grass is my brush.
