    Sorry about that. When you hit unsubscribe it should remove you from the list but for some reason it can be a bit buggy If you drop me an email (appreciate the irony) with your email address, I can manually remove you from the list and that will stop all emails Same applies to anyone else who...

    First Queens Of The Season

    Glad the queens are doing well but sorry to the hear unification didn't go to plan. It can be a tricky manipulation. I like to cage the queens when merging and then release after a few days (sorry - I know the horse has bolted on this one). It's a bit late but not impossible. Not many queens...

    First Queens Of The Season

    That's great to hear. It's quite amazing how they plump up within a week or two and get going. I am really glad she has settled in well, is behaving and had helped product a decent honey crop. Also great to hear they are defending against wasps. People often comment the calm colonies cant...

    First Queens Of The Season

    Well this is a very lovely interchange. Thank you! Peter Little was a fantastic man. I remember calling him up to discuss a Pure Buckfast queen I had on order and he wasn't very well at all, but still made time to do what he loved best - chat about bees and beekeeping. He is sorely missed...

    7 Beehives Stolen Llandudno

    Invisible ink stamps on the frames doesn't stop it but it really makes your hives less targetable. A note on the boxes saying 'these frames are stamped with my company name in invisible ink' means they have to shake the bees onto new frames/foundation. For thieves, that's much more work...

    Apiary vandalism / animal rights

    Jeez. If you are going to reference a website for a definition at least read what it says before inserting it on an online forum. But you are right, Wikipedia does do a pretty good job of explaining what clickbait is. WIKIPEDIA: Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to...

    Thank you Ely. Appreciate the support :) I am not one for getting back to negative messages but I am more than happy to provide further information here... Click bait is when you post a thumbnail of Donald Trump being eaten by a shark and when you click on the video its a scantily clad...

    Press for Heather Honey/Cappings

    We have just moved over to a hydropress only for heather and scrape back frames to plastic foundation. Works brilliantly and negates the requirement for any sort of loosening/swing cage extractor I wouldnt upgrade from a 20 frame and buy the VIGO hydro press. Its effortless and filters the...
