    Accepting credit / debit card payments for Honey.

    They can work with multiple phones, however, what is called SoftPos - google it, or Pin on Glass is coming. This will do away with the separate unit. Expect most to launch late this year early next. With that you can have a single account anyone can log in and thus accept payments.

    EFB

    If EFB is in your area the first question is have you been notified by bee base. If yes then you are likely to get a visit from the SBI, if that is planned wait until after ideally, then you really know you are clear. You say they are in the clear, then yes you can go ahead and extract as...

    Chronic bee paralysis virus

    Have to be say I think it is MAD to take a floor off. Has no one ever thought about robbing. It would seem far more sensible if you want room for dead bees to fall to put an empty super under the brood to give extra space. But taking away the floor would seem to me to be an invitation for...

    honey price update

    Crazy prices, i can sell my honey two or three times over i.e. demand is greater than supply and so it is for most beekeepers. I wholesale at £4.75 they retail at £6/£6.25 per 8oz jar hex. Don't underprice and associations putting out honey prices like that should be shot. This year our...

    Cell punching

    As i have not purchased does it recommend cover cell punching. My gut feel is not as the BBKA is blinkered against cell punching for some reason and likes grafting or miller etc. Do tell does it cover off anything on cell punching.
