Not as neat as you, I am a total bodger, no wood turning skills, just used 38mm whole cutter, 24mm flat bit whole cutter that made top pieces and another flat whole drill bit to make whole in wood and old biscuit tin and bits off an old caravan roof. But should make it easy to move. To join...

Okay as i said I am bodger, no access to nice wood turning, not that I would know how to use. So here are some pics, thanks to some guidance on sizes previously on this forum, 24mm flat wood drill for hole, 38mm hole cutter for outside, flame retardant to bond copper cap pieces to wood and then...

can you post a picture of the tripod you have made would love to see.

The other trick i can share if using filters is to store them in an air tight bag, i was told it would significantly extend their usage and life. Mine are nearly 5 years old and still fine although just bought a new set as a treat but this year doing treatments they worked fine.

So having talked to a supplier, my Climax mask is the 756, key is the next part of the code in that it covers: Organic Vapours, Solvents, Acid Gases, Halogens, Sulfur Dioxide, Amonia, Fine Dust and Aerosols, here is a link, others may need different filters but what it covers is correct for what...

Okay being a bodger i have just used a 38mm whole cutter and and a 24mm flat bit hole cutter to make mine. The question i have though is what glue did you use to put the brass into the wood and hold it. I have been looking up high temperature apoxies and some others but if you have a...

i have one of these twin filter so easier to breath: 732-N - Productos Climax

Finally managed to place my order long haul and on some stuff they advertise honey buckets from £2 but only have big ones available when you click through.

no just time's out a lot it has taken me 24 hrs to build up the order i want.

Most important read the schedule, two matching means matching, i.e. jar type, filled to same level, etc etc. Dimensions for display seen them too big, display of honey for sale, small jars are lovely but seen one kicked out as labeling was wrong i.e. did not meet regs. Read the schedule.

Soft set, so you have a small imperfection in the top, no worries take a scoop out. Honey that has been entered for previous competitions can be entered again, so if there is a judges scoop mark it looks like it has just been entered in a previous show but you have managed to remove that nasty...

Cut comb, how to get a perfect edge after cutting, get a cleaver heat in hot water, dry and then place against edge of cut comb to get perfect edge.

Class Cookies and Biscuits with Recipe. Judge said all entries were biscuits unless stated on the recipe they were a cookie, as such any that did not snap were not good. Lescon, mark on your recipe if your entry is a cookie or a biscuit, different judging criteria!

University of Sussex did a breeding programme, LASI, but had to stop unfortunately.

Looking a the Gas Vap, so the full kit is Store £92 plus I would want say another few caps so call it £100 all in. Fogger is £120, VAROMOR FOGGER OXALIC ACID VAPORIZER TREATMENT BEE VARROA MITES VAROMORUS | eBay So in effect both solutions are pretty much the same price, which would...

But do you look to get the top box mated if yes then it reduces queen loss on mating flights.

It needs a slight adjustment in my opinion in that if you are looking to expand and get the queen mated in the top box please put the entrance the other way i.e. back of the hive for the top box. Further you can then once you have two mated queens drop the two brood boxes together with a QE...

Read Tom Sealey's book on base hives they like the hole at the bottom and quite small so you would need to seal up most of it.

Dissagree, had two really bad tempered colonies no eggs, brood, larvae, put test sections of eggs in one they left alone. Then spoke to an old beekeeper who said this time of year with no drones around even if queenless they often just leave eggs. Luckily i had queens in Mating Nucs to over...
