They need to be in the ground really, all about roots getting a good start. They will get pot bound. Need a LOT of food and water

People say to me "Oh you keep Bees, that's interesting..." I say "Unless you want to hear me 'drone' on about Bees for the next three hours, walk away now!"

You can.

I'll get some pics up.

I use The Real Seed Company for most of my veg. Telephone a Pea that just won't stop climbing. Not a fan of knee high Peas ! Try the Achochas, easy to grow, tasty and the bees like the flowers.

Also heard of diluted milk sprayed helps out. Never tried it myself. Probably moving this year so won't be growing much.

Advanced female genetics here........Honeysuckle !!!

I have two hives about three feet apart. I treat for Varroa. They have insulation around the hive Both colonies survived up until now. Just checked them. Both have fondant on them One is very busy right now. The other colony that seemed to be ok a week or so ago is now completely dead. All...

I usually light the thing and then have no need of it as the bees are usually just going about their business and pretty much ignore me.

I just wondered about the Thymol. I put it in my syrup to preserve it but wondered if it would have any effect. I was under the (mistaken ?) impression that you vaped around christmas time. I will take your advice and leave alone for now.

All the beekeepers I know including myself are ex deep state hired assassins. I am retired now, so now I am quite literally a 'sleeper'. I did some work for the BBKA. We had to shake swarms over our targets.

That's basically it.

Usually have spilled porridge on it as well

I use Firefox as well. Very good browser. Refuse to have apps on my phone and Alexa and Siri will be shot on sight if I see them walking up my garden path. Also got medieval on the ads and turned most of them off. Rarely see any now. They made it as hard as possible to do !!!

After a bit of 'that' anything sweet tastes great......

Actually I see now I left so I could spray BS over everyone !

OK guys thanks for the advice. Only got two hives at the moment. So the wheelbarrow is the winner !

I see in the 'news' that UK 'honey producers' are up in arms about the fact that new EU regs will demand a full list of all the gak they put in their 'honey'. I am outraged that those bloody foreigners want to know the exact percentage of crap I put in my honey. I did not vote to leave the EU...

Advice needed from the hive mind please. I have read some posts about people using car charger /jump start/power pack devices to power their Oxalic vape pans rather than carting a 12 volt battery around. I like the idea of not so much weight ! Saw something in Halfords with an air compressor...
