    OA treating was the one thing that for some reason I really didn't enjoy at all. Never really got to grips with the gasvap, Genius bit of inventing, just never seemed to make it 'go' as all their videos did. So my results were a bit hit and miss I fear. Hopefully this will make all that a...

    Sorry for delay, had to wait till my not so forgiving lady wasn't close by 🤣🤣. Total for the compact, couple of cleaning caps and the poly hive nozzle covers, plus delivery was £374.79

    James. I just rang Duncan, and he sent me an invoice and payment details. Slight delay while they got the different battery fixings, but I'm guessing that was a one time issue. Duncan mobile 07810 074422 Mark

    It's arrived. 😎 Very indulgent of me, but one of the few things I've seen that has had amazing reviews worldwide. Just need this next cold spell to pass and I'll let you know how it goes. As I've got a couple of colonies that had bigger drops last year, so they'll be a good test bed for me...

    They do have the compacts. Ordered one a bit back, called Duncan for an update this morning, and it's been delayed as the battery fixings are slightly different. But will be with me Monday or Tuesday he says. 😎

    Creamer conversion ideas?

    And that's why I'm here..... I hadn't thought of most of those things. . Thats decided it thank you all, bad idea then. Will sell it locally then 👍. And carry on with the drill.

    Creamer conversion ideas?

    I was wondering that too. It's not plastic, but stainless steel. I was thinking of a much improved brace across the top, to take the motor, and as I said, a much larger motor, there's not going to be the rotational momentum of an extractor, but rather a drag through thicker stuff, at about...

    Creamer conversion ideas?

    I've just upgraded my extractor, and therefore have a vevor hand driven one left. It was only £100 new, and rather than sell it I keep looking at it wondering wether I can convert it to a powered creamer, as I seen to get a good dwL more OSR honey than anything else early on, and it's started...

    What's flowering as forage in your area

    Field of mustard close by, lots of bees on it on the warmer days, hadn't really though of it as a source of late nectar, some are still hefting light, little bit surprising considering how much they've been fed, and there looked to be a good amount of ivy coming in.

    I made an app to help you determine when best to inspect your hives, InspectNext

    This is prompting me to go see Dr too. 30 years of big dogs barking in my ear, radio, sirens etc. Have all taken their toll, but the didn't hear you excuse is good at times 🤣

    Dani. I've asked similar questions of the UK supplier. You get one dispenser with it, the cleaning caps are extra as are the poly hive protectors. Not a massive additional cost but still something I think should be included, especially the cleaning cap, purely on safety grounds. The...

    Making soft set honey from extracted OSR

    As above again. I've now got two buckets, they've gone solid again, can just about scrape it with a spoon, and it's lovely and smooth to taste, but quite hard. Am I doing something wrong? 🙄

    Making soft set honey from extracted OSR

    Me Again ..:rolleyes: Just done all the above, added the seed, used the paddle gently a couple days, I know its got a few degrees colder in last couple days, but its gone quite stiff/hard again. Like butter that's been in the fridge, still wonderfully smooth though. Going to warm very...

    Making soft set honey from extracted OSR

    Just checking that I've got this right. As it's my first attempt at soft set. I've done two buckets first as an experiment. It's most definately OSR honey as they literally drop out of their front door onto 100 acres. Extracted when mostly capped @ 17% on average and filtered straight into...

    How do you see eggs?

    Rather extreme, and I did it for other reasons 😂 but I've just had refractive lens replacements. Bonus is it's made my beekeeping much easier. 🤣. Seeing the world in a whole new light.

    clearer boards in demaree

    I'm glad I'm not alone in not being able to work that out, and being rescued by Emyr. Had to ask the question a couple days ago on another thread. So simple when you know how 😜 Did it last night and extracted this morning. Thank you.
