Makes our old friends Gardeners beehive look almost sensible. https://gardenersbeehive.com/ I have been plagued by this 3D Hex hive advert on FB for a few months now. Question is, how UV resistant is this, how long will it last even before all the other questions are asked.

Fair enough. I keep getting adverts on FB for all sorts of Honey and indo wonder. There is just no enforcement of anything.

They do until someone contacts their local trading standards and makes a formal complaint. The next stage is more complicated. If they are a company with deep pockets and access to Baristers then nothing will probably happen. If the entity behind this Honey is a small business person then they...

This is a brilliant idea and hopefully it cab be adapted easily so a Resberry Pi can be used.

Starting to flower on Warwickshire & Worcestershire

They look like scouts to me. For a bait hive I would only use one frame and at an edge to the cavity. Robbers are impatient, dive straight in and will once leaving go. Scouts are meticulous in there surveying of the hive, you can see them working out the lengh, height, will go in slowly...

Some Poly also have runners btw. Maismore, Paynes definitely do.

Interesting bio. How random, AI gone wrong

Further to that. When you melt the wax and process it use the house smart meter readout to work out the costs un hearing etc. Always a useful start point

I always thought Heinz bees were specially bred / modified by Bibba or Monsanto for pollinating Tomatoe plants in green houses.

Look like the Italians have taken over the Bees after their Rugby success. 🏉 😁

Shush, don't tell Sid!

Swallows and Sunmer spring to mind. The main questions are: is it a queen and how well mated and by how many.

We had a talk the other year at our branch with an immunologist from the NHS in Birmingham. They said pretty much if you get stung and it swells up in the area the size of a football don't worry. If you get a reaction anywhere remote to the sting diall 999. Seems that a local reaction is fine...

Now I am feeling slightly agreived that some one won Lawrence's Hat on the live feed as being the only one to promote @Black Mountain Honey on social media and yet, thinking about it, I did as well by not actually intending to 😀 albeit I didn't post the link to the required video. Is this link...

Take a quick photo with phone for a historical record. I use WhatsApp for my records for each appiary. Each inspection is dated. Photos with narrative such as hive can be added and it is immediately shared with Swmbo. Works well for apiaries with a <10 hives for each.

Yes foundation very much matters for certain situations. If you are going to sell / eat comb or do cut comb then you want ultra thin unwired comb. Easy to forget about this aspect. As a separate not although it's not the quality don't forget that drone comb in supers can improve the amount of...

Because the person contributes on this forum and if they wish to discuss it then it's up to them to start a thread which they have not. My thread was opened as per the title discussing a comment someone had raised regarding animal rights activism on the video.

I can't see any reason for him to do it deliberately. He has a business and reputation. I will leave it at that.

I would link and name the beekeeper but as they are a member and have not posted anything themselves other than the video else where I have been deliberately vague.
