I could sell you a kitten for not a lot more than that………..it’d certainly last longer & I‘m happy to recommend the reliability - we have very few rodent issues.

If you think that’s cheap maybe you should send a quick PM to snap up the bargain before someone else does

We don’t use polys so unable to comment on that but yes, acetic left in over Winter and then aired in the Spring prior to supers being utilised again.

You ought to plan a revisit on the 7th - it’s their sales day

Mazzamazda my moneys with you so please don’t leave the forum anytime soon. That said I think an open mind approach and I will say the National Bee Unit folks are doing a cracking job at present.

Friendly farmer to pull you back to civilisation

https://www.bee-craft.com/beecraft-extra/articles/safe-use-and-handling-of-acetic-acid We store supers/brood boxes all over winter with acetic acid and the stack wrapped in cling film. Does store them well but the wires embedded within the foundation do corrode so will eventually give out...

Still plenty of forage around in certain areas and colonies are strong - but they’re not bringing in excess. As others have said, I also am dropping brood frames with stores into many hives at the moment - yet to take off the crop but a fine balancing act between harvest / treating / feeding...

Bees on bottom of brood box - I’d be surprised if you didn’t find a few wasps also. Money would be on weak colonies stripped out by wasps. Store your combs in the boxes with acetic acid for re-use next year or put in a freezer to kill off any wax moth & then store sealed up in a dry environment.

Invest in a Swienty & be done with ;)

Just noticed the Rolls Royce requirement - Swienty. Excellent piece of equipment especially when used in conjunction with the rotating table. They don’t usually have sales/promo’s unless through Bee Farmers Assoc. Suggest you join Bee Farmers and then get in a quick pre order for collection at...

Can you wait until - there will be deals I’m sure https://www.thebeekeepingshow.co.uk/

Ensure the surface you’ve sat your extractor on is level. We’ve a very minimal slope to a central drain & that makes a difference - a 2mm plate under a leg levels things up and rebalances.

I’ll come out in favour of MAQS/F.PRO - only issue for users of this is, I believe there has been no import into the UK this year. From previous threads the best way to store was in the freezer…………..

Good olde Borage - 27 hectares

Mine just say Suffolk Honey with all the typical requirements. Produce of UK, lot number, BB, weight & contact details…………….don’t seem to have a problem with sales:)

You could always drive & collect - stop for lunch at the staff/customer restaurant, it’s very good 👍

Good point Rory - check whatever you buy is compatible with what you’re planning to spin out
