https://beekeepingforum.co.uk/threads/paynes-poly.14586/post-187388 See this old (11 years) thread, mainly about Paynes poly hives but a mention in passing of an early Abelo national brood box. See post 25 by Nic Rhodes. I found it by searching for 'Abelo bee space', so there may be others out...

It was on the 'stories' part of his Instagram account which are ephemeral, only existing for a day or so and I don't know how easy they are to view if you are not on Instagram and a follower. The insulation looks somewhat Heath Robinson in design, it appears to be a celotex/kingspan type...

This is a screenshot of his melter

Have a look at David McDonald's Instagram post, looks like an insulated steam melter. This link might work https://instagram.com/stories/the_bee_farmer/2795322915294543706?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&utm_medium=share_sheet

Abelo, 10% off with BEETRADEX discount code

Thanks all, ordered 4 with the discount code. (looking at the 20 frame extractor images on the website it now seems obvious that 4 screens fit and I could have easily looked at my extractor and worked it out. In my defence my previous extractor was an 8 frame Giordan that took 2 tangential...

I have a 20 frame Abelo extractor and want to order some tangential screens whilst the weekend special offer is on. I'm assuming 2 fit and are placed opposite each other but would 4 fit, placed in a square? I can't see any dimensions to check on the abelo or lyson websites.

I lift my buckets by fingers under the rim, including the ones with metal handles, when they have runny honey inside them. I've had some metal handles 'pop out' and the thought of 30lbs of warm very runny honey all over the floor fills me with dread.

I sometimes sell in bulk so new buckets are a must.

The ebay offering is 80 pence per bucket cheaper but 'buy cheap buy twice' springs to mind.

I need some 10litre (~30lb) plastic buckets for my bumper 2022 crop 😀 I could get some at Beetradex (but it's the only purchase planned in the absence of several key suppliers) or through ebay, link here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321093758241 The cost is similar with the quantity required...

Many thanks, works for me

****BeeTradex 2022 - Please Read**** Sadly we have taken the difficult decision not to attend the BeeTradex show this March. This decision has not been taken lightly but with a busy season ahead we are are unable to dedicate the time needed to attend such a huge event. Taken from the Abelo...

No Abelo presence either according to their Feb newsletter.

Thanks, especially the lip chewing tip. Where do you get the 2mm plastic from?

I assumed it was referring to B+ who is a A.m. carnica breeder in the UK.

He no longer posts on the forum though?

This thread reminded me of this write up of some notes made at a talk by Andy Wattam, then RBI for Eastern England, with some good ideas for increased efficiency. 20 minute beekeeper | Hertfordshire Beekeeper's Association

Ring the RBI and have a chat about what is involved? Some SBI's are now employed year round and do APHA import inspection work during the winter. I say no harm in applying, let them be the judge of how you measure up to the job specifications. There are a few BFA members who also do SBI work, so...

Just watching the news about Russian troop movements along the Ukranian border reminded me about this book by Andrey Kurkov about a beekeeper caught in the grey/neutral zone between Russia and the Ukraine. I enjoyed it; the author appears to have a genuine understanding of beekeeping and the...
