Of course. 😁. Thank you, knew there was something I was missing 🤣

Another demaree question..... All is going well, the Queen after taking a break has started laying like a train again. Rolled the brood into the top box again. And bees are using both entrances a la JBM top entrance board. Supers are getting filled to the point where I have to extract now...

Not exactly in the apiary. Be rude not to go and shop while in Prague. 🤣. Some very different prices to the UK. Had a coffee, and tried their floral honey. Thank heavens for Google translate though. Even survived swmbo's "how is all that going to fit in the case"

Yes Emyr, both parents had it done here on NHS, but they were really quite bad before they reached the top of the list. I'm starting to get them, nothing to serious yet. But pre-empting and hopefully cutting out the lack of sight for a few years. Yep, sunnies all sorted, got my googly...

Thank you Dani, I'll leave them be for a bit then. I can see the advantages of a demaree at the right time now. Just need to be a bit more organised with moving boxes at inspection time as I can see how things could get mixed up. As an aside my eyes aren't the best though I should...

NUC one queen that had an unsealed cell. And checked all the others, two are being requeened with donor eggs, one appears fine at the minute, sealed and should emerge in next day. The other was a few days ahead, and no sign of the cell at all, so they've either tidied up after her, or it's...

Very sad to see, feel so sorry for you. But as many have said dust yourself down, not your fault at all, and come back stronger. It's served as a very salutary lesson to me, the photos have taught me a lot and I've bookmarked them for future reference, it's reinforced the importance of...

Inspected the two colonies that have been feisty whenever I've added fondant etc. Bit better behaved today, but nowhere near as calm as the best. Had considered requeening, but weather is still a bit unpredictable I think. So going to hold off, and wait. Was determined to find the...

Got stung lots.... :rolleyes:. Was way behind the curve last year, held off inspecting, and was too late. Determined to get in there before they got the urge this year, but like most hampered by the weather. At work yesterday so once I had a bit of free time, did a quick inspection of...

Getting there 😎 There's another variety about two weeks behind. Bit worried this'll all be over and done with before the weather is properly warm enough.

Part of the reason I'm slowly moving the majority of my small collection to work. Besides being a lovely place, and plentiful resources for the bees. I get to look after the bees at work in slack time, and I have half a container I use. Plus there's another 40ft one, just need to clear the...

I failed to find him too. Was hoping to see yourself and JBM to thank you for the ongoing help. But I had no idea what either of you looked like, so was like me searching for a queen in my hives :rolleyes:

Was really good to meet you, and appreciate the time that Jolanta, Kasia and you spent talking to me. Thank Helen for putting something aside for me, I did collect it once is been and visited a cash machine but missed her.

parcel is on its way, ordered on 14th Jan. Just been partially refunded some, though no idea what its for . Expect it'll be the one thing I am waiting for to get on with floor making. But thankful for all my dealings with Simon, its always been good for me. . and wish him a happy...

\i have a LWB caddy, and can fit my small amount of bee kit in to move around, while still keeping my large dog cages in. would get loads in if I took them out. I have a tailgate rather than doors at the back, perfect for sheltering under too. LWB has sliding doors both sides, though they...

Just seen this on Facebook, in Dudley if anyone is interested. Nothing to do with me at all just passing the info on. Might be crap, but might just do someone a favour that wants to build a honey stand. Link might not work. But it's marketplace item number 589676579658212 of that helps...

If I can swap work days it'd be rude not too. As like @Hedgerow Honey I'm only a few minutes away.

That's such a shame, went yesterday to collect something as I was going to pass. They were more than helpful.

Just for you @Sutty and @Ian123 & @Newbeeneil you can both do the "I told you so" dance. Tried a frame, and it wasn't having any of it . So decided it needed a bit more heat so added a bulb in parallel to the 40w heater. And there you have it. I'm now cleaning the floor, bonus is...
