Stainless paint stirrer... Not long it soon does the job... Be sure not to introduce air bubbles

I'm not sure you can get a mat to consistently heat a bucket... You can make a fridge heater for less than £50

Have you got triple the gear you think you need.. Really do with another colony... Contact your local bka see if any swarms need homing... Chill

Just thinking I probably have more solid than mesh now too

Gauntlets are great

Got 3 in last two days in our town

Often there are play cups... Look like the start of qcs... not sure you need a super a week after adding the nuc

Just hope the chap that sold you the nuc used wired broods then that cuts down the chance of a disaster to 50 %

Alot of people seed because they don't have osr Etton... Or they want creamed from summer honey... Pure osr doesn't need a seed.... Saying that I think this year there's more hawthorn etc in the mix

I leave to set hard then warm to 35 whizz no need to seed... Smooth as a babies...some would say you are warming beyond hive conditions and therefore its an altered product.... Not raw au naturel

Still don't fully understand why you want to liquefy osr honey???

Never vent the cb jazz

As they should.

Thanks nant.... Diff to get a sensible answer on here sometimes

Yes alot of time the bees draw drone comb with foundationless too

Yes wired foundation is used as it supports and reinforces the comb.... Warm comb bends and you have to manipulate the frames a certain direction... Generally be alot more careful

Any reason you are going the foundation less route... You are going to have to be very careful

Most of us make creamed honey with osr and for that it's not necessary to get it to the liquid stage

50c is way too high 35c max Make urself a warming fridge as above

I remember the anticipation lol... Just remember the more times you go in the more chance there is to kill or lose the queen look for eggs n grubs no worries if u don't see the queen and of course queen cells
