    Beetight app for Android

    Have looked in at Airtable, and set up an account. Will try to have a proper look at it later.

    Beetight app for Android

    I have found the app to be very useful for several years. No faffing around with sheets of paper like some Victorian clergyman. Means I can instantly access all my hive records, including photographs, wherever and whenever I want, and they are all backed up online.

    Beetight app for Android

    Thanks Simon, and well done in getting though to Matt. I am tempted to think that he has got bored with it and is looking for more exciting things to do. The fact that the website says that Beetight Pro is now free would suggest that as well. Like you, I am downloading my records from the web...

    Beetight app for Android

    Following an Android update on my 'phone, Beetight will not open. I have tried reinstalling and am getting a message that there is a bug that means it will not work with the lastest update. The 'Contact' link on the web version is dead. Anyone else having these issues?

    Attracting swarms - what are the odds?

    Old research , but still oft cited and I am not aware (yet) of it being successfully challenged

    Attracting swarms - what are the odds?

    You can also use lemongrass oil to treat and prevent AFB, as long as you realise that it is entirely useless for such purpose

    Attracting swarms - what are the odds?

    Several threads on this forum refer to lemongrass oil, but one point seems to be important. There is more than one sort of 'essential' oil marketed as lemongrass, and the one recommended is Cymbopogon citratus, apparently. That is what I use, with some success.

    Attracting swarms - what are the odds?

    Go for it. I started with a swarm caught in a bait hive and have regularly caught two or three every year. Biggest worry has been a couple of cases of EFB not far away. Read Seeley (attached) and follow his suggestions. I have found that if you can manage to get the bait hive 5m (15ft) above...

    Wrapped timber hives?

    r value of 40mm thick YBS BreatherQuilt 2 in 1 Multi Layer Insulation = 1.62 m2K/W r value of 50mm PIR (Kingspan T100) = 2.25m2K/W so the 40mm quilt is equivalent to about 36mm of Kingspan

    Beetradex update

    Interesting point. I just checked with a micrometer and theirs is showing to be ~.95mm thick whereas the other stuff I have been using (STB?) comes in at ~1.1mm. How much difference that makes in practice I should be able to tell shortly as I have a couple of of UFEs awaiting their mesh. I paid...

    Beetradex update

    I turned up on Saturday and while dissapointed at the lower number of exhibitors, was able to purchase what I had ordered, what I needed and some things that I wanted (but technically do not need). Seeing the long, long queues at the Bee Equipment stand I did not even bother to look at any of...
