I had a couple of those yesterday when it was only 1 degree. Reckon they were bursting for a poo!

Not the apiary as such but did a lovely Christmas Fair at the weekend and delivered a couple of boxes of mini jars to a local business for their Christmas hampers for customers. Thanks to @Newbeeneil for the great tip about filling using condiments containers, it was so quick!

What is Latin for matchsticks?

Or Tacitus the Histories 🙄

Absolutely. It was a to let my OH know how much it cost to get started as so many people starting out don’t realise that you don't just get a hive and bees, it’s all the peripheral and ongoing kit that’s needed. I am lucky that my OH doesn't mind (too much) when big boxes of stuff appear a few...

I have a few ‘older’ 190ml panel jars from F&H and they’re 25g heavier than the recent delivery…

Hefted the home hives and topped up fondant as they’ve all been flying madly. One hive looks low on bees so I’m going to dummy them down to help keep warm. Bit concerned with the growing pile of bee corpses behind the hives though. Neat piles with their abdomens chewed out. I can’t decide if...

InstaVap Light is £199 and you can use PayPal in 3 installments….

Hah! Will still be 10 x the price of the stuff we don’t use…

About 5. Several accidents Hampshire end 🙄

Good job you didn’t go today, traffic home on the A3 was hideous!
