'Wittering'.....again. BUT.....good wittering none the less! :icon_204-2:

I've had two! Checked my apiary.....e-mailed a report saying I could see no problems. Was told that I would be inspected anyway. That was a month ago. This is not the time of year to be told that sort of news and then kept hanging :mad:

Mind boggling stuff. I can barely count that high! :ROFLMAO:

I started with great plans for this year too. The idea was to at least double the amount of full colonies I had. FAIL! The weird cold snap in early May put pay to that. I actually witnessed queen cells being taken down by the bees. Very few of my split nucs kept their QC's. In fact, my...

Hoorayyyy! The limes are just beginning to flower :love:

Yesterday I created two new nucs for my new apiary on my partners allotment site. I took on two new allotments there, as she had given me my marching orders from hers. Never mind aye! The other hives will be moved over in late autumn :LOL: On my allotment apiary it's been total madness. I...

I bought 720 12oz jars from The Bottle Company South in early May for £312.90 including delivery.

I have the t'shirt for that! :rolleyes:

Lots of 'Royal Politics' going on here. Surprise queens where not expected, at least one succession and unexpected failures when all was looking good. That's bee-husbandry for yer! I have been extremely busy hence the reason I have not been 'wittering' away on here. My farm apiary is still in...

Ceanothus in a neighbours garden. My closest bees are about three miles away, so are probably not mine!

My real production time will come a month after these start to flower :LOL: It's looking like a good year for lime trees again! Not sure about 'crusty,' but certainly old here. My kitchen, equipment and me for that matter, are always cleaned to within an inch of it's life! I have a brand new...

And HE accuses me of 'wittering!!!' :icon_204-2:

AHHHH......nice wittering again....well done. You are obviously much better at it, than the wittering you pointed out I was making about hive types? Personally, I've had to reduce my 'witters' as I have a lot of work on at the moment. I know....MUST try harder! :devilish::icon_204-2:

Making LOADS of super frames here. Limes are flowering VERY soon!

Maybe it's 'cos he has a fantastic toy that makes just about anything he wants!? I'd LOVE to have one! :LOL: I think that my partner may have things to say about that though? :oops:

I see you are choosing to 'witter on' now o_O :icon_204-2::icon_204-2::icon_204-2:

Swarm bees are usually fine. so it must have been my imagination that I got stung the other day then? :unsure::icon_204-2:

I see what you mean.....shook swarms may not work to stop EFB, so it may be better to just start afresh? I have no experience of this in ten years of beekeeping. I'm not sure what would be best, if my farm apiary tested positive. They are placed in the middle of nowhere though. The nearest...
