The queen trap system is used by Paradise in Finland to manage their colonies through the difficulties of swarming, they do have a lot of colonies to get through that requires a lot of hands on deck to deal with. Also a lot of their colonies can be huge distances from home, I wouldn't describe...

The show team were hoping to go, but looks like we’re going to be tied up in some admin now. Perhaps catch up with everyone at the the bar later.

Who is going to the Bee Farmer evening meal organised by Paul Horton?

I am excited about this, but I would be :)

A good number of my hives were sat out in the open in fields in Essex, all Paradise langstroth hives and as far as I can tell the preformed very well. Certainly no disadvantages at all.

The venue is currently looking into providing charging facilities on site but there are facilities near to the venue.

Hi Everyone, This has been talked about and mentioned in other threads but we would like to make things official and let the forum know some details. A New National Event on the UK Beekeeping Calendar The Beekeeping Show is a brand-new, independent one-day trade show on the UK beekeeping...

Actually The Beekeeping Show is another event. The Beekeeping Show Patrick changed the name of his show to The British Beekeeping Show shortly after.

Modern Beekeeping for 5 Frame and Old Castle for 6 frame.

Hi Everyone, I will only just mention this and leave the post alone but I am "another" I own and run Happy Valley Honey and Modern Beekeeping as some may know. I have no position in the BFA other then a member that give me no sway in that respect. But given the nature of my business I clearly...

I think from what I can see from the face of things that the wax and wick room is bee equipment. Also Burts country store and bees and pollinators magazine are part of bee equipment.

We run our nationals on brood box through out with no shallows for supers, double brood in the spring up to swarming time and then demaree them as needed. if we need to free space in the brood box we lift brood above an excluder also, that can be used for creating nucs or boosting other colonies...

UK distributors of Swienty have sales, Modern Beekeeping, Swienty and Gwenyn Gruffydd.

We use full plastic frames, although these are for Langstroth and not National. I have to say I love them and have many 1000's of them in use.

I can't see the video but Heather Honey can also refer to Bell Heather, I believe to sell as one type it should be at least 80 from the same floral source.

So many companies popping up selling linden or acacia honey its quite unbelievable. I wonder how many they actually sell and if they really are selling what they say.

We have used allot of demaree this year and it's worked great, also been reminded how hard it is to make a part of your living from honey.

Sales aren't always the answer, we're generally cheaper than most even in their sales (Modern Beekeeping) but also lets be honest price isn't always what you should be looking for.

I will add that their is little setup to the machine to calibrated but it' very simple with weighing a few jars to make sure it's in tolerance. We fill jars from 1.5oz to 1kg and even small without the turntable. very accurate and fills each jar perfectly every time. The jar stop is acetate...

We have the Swienty unit your looking at and it's a joy to work with, we do over 1400 jars per day with it. If you are ever in Cheshire call in to Modern Beekeeping for a look at the Swienty machine in action.
