    Polynucs

    If you need to add fondant surly the simplest solution would be to turn a feeder upside down? I do this on nucs and full colonies then they need a bit of a boost of sugar through the winter and into spring. It's pretty effective.

    Swienty vs Abelo poly

    I have 10 Swienty poly Langston hives and have a similar thing happening to them. What about Paradise Honey from Modern Beekeeping?

    Badgers

    I have badge problems at two apiarys, recently managed to get a super off one and ate the lot. Very keen badger as even with sheep netting they manage to get under.

    Plastic Foundation

    1000's of plastic frames and very few issues, simple to scrape clean and rewax When I rewax its with nearly all my own wax apart from what I started.

    I have also watched European hornets hunt bees here in Cheshire. There very good at catching them.

    Use of apivar

    Amitraz is a great products but best used with other mite treatments. The idea that one single treatment is enough isn’t true. We have allot of options and we should draw on them when we need to treat.

    Abelo's New Premises.

    Why 9 though? perhaps it's similar dimensions to timber Langstroth externally? I am sticking with Honey Paw.

    Tradex ''on or off''

    It would appear there is only a few pulled out, the vast majority are all going. Despite the snow here just south of Manchester the roads are getting better all the time. By Saturday most places should be back to normal.

    Tachometer info

    Just to make you aware it’s not if you are going to carry the weight but if you are capable of doing so. A ford ranger with a decent Ifor Williams trailer plated at 3.5t will put you in the bracket. Technically you don’t even need the trailer on as you have capabilit of having a trailer.

    Pick up Truck

    Much easier to to than you think, also have a look if it's for hire or reward. you should have a read up and make sure you answer any questions you might get asked careful. it's sounds silly but it's not impossible it could happen.

    Pick up Truck

    There lay on the floor, scrabbling about, three people to stop the platform tipping over. Plus with trailer it's such a grey area that you could end up needing o licence and tacho. I appreciate I might well need it for my truck but we already have an operating center for our other vehicles.

    I also have a 1.5 meter version and it does the trick but BLOODY HELL it gets HOT!

    Pick up Truck

    Also my advice is to stay away from the D40 Navara unless your good at welding or damn sure it's a good chassis. I have welded a good few back together now. Also the Navara D22 is known to throw a leg out of bed once and a while, they need good regular servicing.
