I had a similar experience. SWMBO was very cross!!! I cleaned up one garage, painted the walls and floor but got fed up with the bees and, in particular, wasps that buzzed around me. I then tried to extract after dark outside. Worked a treat. Turned on the outside light and just got on with it...

I am so pleased that we have this slice of humour to brighten up another rainy day. Keep it up people your efforts are appreciated

I sell in 12oz jars and charged £6.00 last year. I am considering raising the price to £6.50 because of the price of jars. Most of the regulars return their jars for re-use so I may opt for a 2 tier system.

I have spent the whole afternoon collecting the supers from 3 apairies with a younger friend. From 4 colonies I have 14 absolutly full supers. I was so pleased to have the help as I do not think I would have been able to carry some of the supers over rough ground from one hive. Tomorrow is a day...

I read in the paper today they have marked drones with purple to see if they cross the sea in the Scilly Isles

What year is purple???

I have 5 large limes in full flower. The bloom is the best I have seen in 20 years. I could only spot a couple of bumble bees on all the trees tody. That was 1 more than yesterday. The honey bees are feeding on the Magnolia Grandiflora 100 yds away.

Lime flowers have not opened in Bucks yet

The correct term is Regicide. According to the current law it is the killer who will facw capital punishment!!

I strim during the day and also mow. I used to have trouble with my old Briggs and Stratton engined mower but since the Honda has been relegated to apiary duty the bees are less bother. Similarly a two stroke strimmer could cause disruption but I now have a big Honda 4 stroke strimmer and have...

Spell Checker I was traing a customer a few years ago in MS Word. She had a particularly objectional manager who used to type everything in upper case and then send it to her to spellcheck and re-type in senteence case This was particularly inefficient so I said I would show her how to change...

Spent 3 hours strimming the blackthorn scrub in the Apiary. I was unable to do it last year owing to issues with my eyes. I will have to return next week, when the wind is in the corresct direction and collect it all up and have a big bonfire. I think I will take some help!!!!!

I di my first full tour of the Apairies today. Some I cannot get to when the weather is a wet as it has been. Swmbo asked how it went. I have lost 2 colonies that I would have bet money on in the Autumn but to my surprise 3 NUCs have overwintered an dare bursting with bees.

I Have used BDI for several years. If you tell them the number of hives they will give you a quote. They have a no claims scheme and this year I paid less than £1 per hive.

Hi Sweet I am interested I think I have sent you a pm

I use a telescopic decorators pole

Finally felt well enough to treat most of the hives with OA by dribbling. 5 Apiaries, 20 hives and a 20 mile round trip. I had lost 6 hives since my last visit. 5 were in NUC boxes. 3 of the five I did not expect to make it through any way, but two were on double 14x12 NUC boxes with plenty of...

Wishing you all a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year
