I think Bookers offer £28 for two 20 odd kilo sacks runs out in a few days.

I've read somewhere the lethal dose of bee stings is circa 200 - 400 for a human. so 20,000 seems a tad on the high side especially if the chap has survived.

I think I made it worse by trying to clear it up before it was noticed. I can still hear the key slide into the lock, it'll haunt me for a day or two....... I knew I didn't have time to let it set.

Mine is usually broadly accepting of my extra curriculum activities but I haven't helped myself lately.

Apologies, I should have been more clearer as per Dani's post above.

There are some that advocate clipping Queens is a tool in the beekeepers armoury of swarm prevention techniques. I dont share that view as the Queen attempts to swarm regardless she has a wing clipped or not. The only "prevention" bit if you can call it that is when the beek happens upon the...

Don't beat yourself up you wont do it again!

Thought I'd "tidy up" some bits of 1st melt comb wax I have lying about the place [first mistake] put the lot in a Sainsburys nylon veg bag and dropped it into the pan with an inch of water in the bottom on her Majesties S/S Gas hob. A quick glance in the pan and I thought to myself, perhaps it...

Not being rude to anyone but over the years, I've noticed the price tends to increase the nearer and in London you get. Clee Hill is miles from London, hence my surprise at the amount CGF is able to secure. Any update Curly on your jarring rate this week and your heather harvest?

What do Swienty say?

Very generous and kind of you Dani.

Thanks chaps all ordered.

Anyone recommend where I can pick these up relatively cheaply? I was given a "Tip" today and want to try it out but the usual suspects want >£20 for wire and rivets in small amounts. They've got to be cheaper elsewhere. What do you use/buy and where from please? H

Excellent!! Shame you're not a few more miles west, you could have shared in CGF's £11/lb bonanza

:LOL::LOL::LOL: Hi James CGF is having huge crops [making a sizeable "wedge" from sales at £11/lb] which, must be taking a long time to extract manually. I was looking during lockdown at buying an automated honey extraction line and am wonder what he has or is thinking of buying?

I've looked and can't find one under that matches your purchase.

Ahh still north of £40k, your post wasn't clear. Still no answer on the automation ..... is it an oversight or am I being deliberately ignored? Not wishing to cause anyone any embarrassment, If it's the latter let me know with a post here and I'll stop asking.

That's even more amazing, you're actually getting closer to north of £80k then for your honey at £10 / 8oz! I have roughly 1400 jars stored in a barn at one of my out apiaries that sit on a pallet almost as high as me and to think that you have 12 times that amount in storage is mind blowing...

Technically I don't but my personal circumstances next year might dictate and/or bring in a number of personal factors that using an incubator might mitigate the risks down for me to make it a success. Assuming I can get one at a decent price. of course.

Seems to be having a bit of a resurgence lately, as it looks like Laurence of BMH has just got the all clear from when he had a bout recently according to his YooToobe channel.
