Heated settling tanks are good for letting the honey settle after extraction. I use one and it removes the need for filtering as all the bits float to the top. It is also a great tool for making syrup in as it has a stirring mechanism. It's not a hobby set up. If your honey is set in a bucket...

Yes, BB date signposted to base of jar. If it's batch numbers only then you can buy pre printed batch number labels and use a cheaper single line pricing gun.

I use one for best before date. it has 2 lines of 10 digits, top-line letters bottom line numbers and symbols. Tiger PGL-AL20. The labels that come with it are peelable so permanent adhesive labels are required. Simple to use and reload once you know how. If it doesn't line up you loaded the...

Tend to be larger colonies overwinter and build up quicker in spring.

No, but it is selling at £6.50 wholesale and over £8 retail for approx 8oz.

I have 400 supers. :D Good idea for small scale and the recycling of old freezers. I'm after an old commercial freezer or 3 that don't work to store jarred honey in. I have had a problem with acetic acid sending the wire in the frames rusty. Spoke to t's and the wire is galv not stainless...

Got no choice it has to be frozen to stop it crystallising. I've done 300 cut comb boxes and got 20 frames for chunk honey. Didn't think this through for a change lol.

I do mine in a 1000ltr heated tank :D

I was asked by some customers to do some Cut Comb and Chunk Honey. Now I've had to buy a freezer to keep the damn stuff in. Filled the little spare freezer, filled the space in the main freezer and had more to store. It's not Heather Honey can't be bothered with that fuss. Luckily found a 450ltr...

I've had my moneys worth out of them now. My Account is empty lol.

I've spent a lot of time under the NHS care. Nurses are great, doctors are rare and consultants hit and miss. It all falls into place if you find someone that actually knows what's wrong with you. Finding that someone can sometimes be an issue but if you do it works out in the end. MRSA isn't...

The air temp and honey tamp are different always. Large scale ( container size) warming areas are generally set to about 55 to 60c as the air temp is always higher than the honey temp. 45c air temp will probably result in 35 to 40c honey temp, not enough for stubborn crystalisation. The stuff...

Yes and don't buy them anymore. The BFA price isn't that good either I can beat the BFA price easily. Easy way to work it out 300 x 1.4 = 420g The round 12 oz jars on the BFA sales site are 282ml still too big for 12 oz of honey 282 x 1.4 = 394g This depends if the jars are fill to neck or lid...

The boring stuff that is worth bearing in mind. Some markets etc may want to see your Hygeine Rating and proof of insurance.

In a bag. The box you use as an example is only available for 2 or 3 jars.

If the show is local and you have some idea where each bucket comes from then maybe list them as such. Some like the hyper-local thing and others buy on taste. It's a bit late for an obs hive but talking to people around an obs hive makes them feel obliged to buy. Taster jars are a must. Candles...

Got home the other week and sat down, still in my bee suit. Felt something crawling on my neck and brushed it off. It was an unmarked queen, no idea where from as I had just looked through 20 nucs. She survived the walk to the van and the drive home. Ended up making up another nuc for her...

Beekeepers couldn't agree on the colour of a carpet. :D:ROFLMAO::LOL:

I'm all for banning imports of any subspecies. Although AMM from Ireland are much closer to native than anything imported from Europe and certainly better adapted to the UK than the poor stocks hear. Most of the AMM here are Irish lol. Don't blame imports for the crappy bees you've had. Some of...
