I really like the smell of cedar as well, especially when saw milling it, last load was 26 tons.

They get lit in the morning at the first apiary of the day here and are usually going all day, in between apiaries they are transported (still lit) in an open five frame nuc box in the back of a truck, right behind the cab, two smokers fit well in a nuc box.

They are most likely just chilled.

The reason for shaking in extra bees when making up and keeping a nuc in the same apiary is to account for the number of bees flying back to the parent colony, thus avoiding hardly any bees in the nuc and frames of chilled/dead brood.

Be really good if the research comes up with an effective treatment, until then just carry on doing what ever you do.

Yes, a job vacancy, over a year ago, it is a three year research project which started last year...I put the link up so you could read what the research was about.

I tried that on a couple of colonies with CBPV, those two were the only two that died out of the 65+ that had it.

Did you also ask her to shake in a few frames of extra bees?

Could also be CBPV, more likely than Nosema.

That is what I do, they go a nice grey colour after a while.

Find them perfect for ordinary honey/comb/cappings but not very good for heather, so use a spinner/centrifuge for that, one bought via Swienty. https://beekeepingforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=38126

...over a million.

....from apiaries.

Get the same here, lizards on crown boards, slow worms under hives and anything else lying around, during nice weather in summer also find the occasional adder or grass snake sunning themselves in some apiaries.

Ceri, heather honey extracting is the main reason I bought it, the size is a little over 4', 125cm, runs nice and looks to be reasonably well made, not used it for heather yet, but am sure it will be a lot quicker than using screens in the Lyson machine. I still prefer the quality of the...
