Is Ambrosia's water content or lack of enough to not cause problems. Anyone know?

Has any one experimented with feeding Ambrosia Syrup mid winter? These days with temperatures of 10c to 13c often experienced does this strategy work these days rather than fondant.

Just had an advert on Facebook from 2 days ago saying the British Beekeeping Show is cancelled for 2024 "following the change in ownership of Bee Equipment" "will remain in the capable hands of Patrick". Final death throws I guess. Can't see it ever coming back, not with how good, popular and...

Gosh that's a weird linked in history. Mostly in the 3rd person and changing between completely different industries and parts of the world and eventually, lampshades and charity work and not updated to show Beekeeping. Not sure how to take the "moving a family of 4 single handedly to a new...

I have read the messages in the Bee Equipmment on their Web site and the message from the new owner makes me raise an eyebrow. Who in this day and age signs off with "S Hagen". Surely a first name would be more sincere and and would seem less old fashioned. Got visions of a 80 something year...

Goes with almost every good amd consumer product I feel except automotive vehicles. Let's be honest people wafle on about slightest detail and look at JD power reliability surveys and buy countless magazines on cars amd bikes. Everything else including food the majority of the population want...

Birmingham had a fad 15 odd years ago calling the holiday Winterval but they sore sense.

You missinderstamd me. I was agreeing that calling it yellow legged would still cause an issue with members of society who find almost anything offensive amd usually on somewhere persons behalf rather than their own or misinterpret corporate / governmental guidance. Personally I think the...

That's what I immediately thought when it's was mentioned at the branch meeting.

Welcome

The AHAT rep for our branch was talking last night. It appears that the BBKA posters are causing some issues in the West Midlands. The local authority parks department does not like the word "Asian" as it may be offensive trembles of the community. Apparently the BBKA are looking into it

Everyday is a school day. To be transparent I do check people's posting history when someone had made a statement that I am unsure about or, is new / controversial so I get a feel for the posters intentions.

The audience shouting "Stato" in Fantasy Football is all I can hear at the moment. I have never on forums seen a comment like that. How many would think about looking at a person's posting history after reading a very short comment like that. 🤣

They have to be carefull how sensitive the measurements are. It would be a big issue for some if even the minutest trace of winter feed or varia treatment was picked up and flagged. Most of us don't really know what happens to excess winter stores in the hive from sugar syrup etc. Does it...

Hm Revenie and Customs. I stand, well sat, corrected.

Cloud-cuckoo land. The presenter misheard the comment and jumped to conclusions. I suspect what the Dr was going to say was that trading standards / HM customs would be able to have a relatively affordable piece of kit that can be used with an app to analyse samples in the field. I could be...

Hell yes. The Major cities are different worlds compared to the rest of the country. Not living in one would be like living like a hermit. But I know what you mean, the Gower is peacefull and away fro the maddening crowd. 😉

The bit I can't quite understand is why there are no sightings around the major cities of Manchester and Birmingham where the temperature is warmer due to conninations and the sheer number of vehicles arriving from the continent plus caravans and vampire from their continental holidays. Suggest...

Horse has already bolted the stable door is my suspicion. Next year when hundreds if not a couple thousand queens all looking for a suitable place to build a nest throughout Kent, into Sussex and probably Greater London would need a few dogs.

Here in Solihull we had a record harvest. Fed a little to in September to bridge the gap to the Ivy though.
