you should, I have yet to meet one (and I've worked with quite a few) that wasn't fully immersed in beekeeping culture and always ready to help and advise rather than hinder and be a bane to the beekeeper. was that an SBI or just the usual 'master' beekeeper wanting to show their 'superior'...

It's coming in in the early hours tomorrow, then easing off by the morning, hopefully the afternoon will be similar to today but with probably the odd shower so I can shoot off to the range and sort out that apiary for the winter. so hopefully by the time Bernard goes to that field next, any...

to be honest, I've never thought that particular set of charts were fantastically accurate.

looks like the Beecraft one.

went up to the castle apiary this morning to remove the feeders and strap the hives down until the spring, last time I'll be driving the truck up to the hives until next spring, it was a bit sticky near the gate where all the animals had been congregating, the tyre tracks look worse than it...

that doesn't happen any more - they carry mobile crematoria around with them and I doubt they even send a matchbox full of dust back for mam to put on the mantelpiece for everyone to see.

they test for something different every year, a couple of years ago, during a DASH baseline inspection round I was asked whether I minded supplying a sample, that year they were looking for heavy metal deposits!

No - it's zero rated, big difference.

when I was in primary school, the school (built in the 1800's) still had open air urinals for the boys, just a square tiled enclosure surrounded by a six foot high stone wall, the challenge was to see who could pee straight over the wall onto the playground - all great fun ...

how much tuition do you need to throw a load of red biddy down your gregory?

Got loads left to pick, mostly the carolina reapers and apache now they've turned red, a shedful of jalapenos, although still green and also some mahoosive red pointy sweet peppers now they've turned colour.

:iagree: go on to the instavap farcebook page and there's plenty of discussions as to the best ammo box to buy.

Join a local beekeeping association and enrol in their winter theory course/spring practical. Contact BASC and enrol in one of their deerstalking courses.

At least he didn't start live streaming a football match (with the sound on) on his laptop like he did during Tom Seeley's lecture at the WBKA anniversary summer school at Aberystwyth Uni!

Ratnieks I found was a very dogmatic cove refusing to even consider trialling multiple vapes to cover a brood cycle - his diktat was treat broodless colonies (or colonies with brood ripped out) or don't treat, I'm sure that mindset was passed on to those setting the rules on the licence. Also as...

last day of vaping today, just the one apiary, unfortunately the rain has been hammering down here since the early hours but I managed to chose an hour when the rain had a slight pause and I only got a little damp. Not so lucky later when a pallet of invert arrived, so I got a wee bit wet...

I know a little trick with her knuckles which makes her forget what she was doing. All that training afforded by ex marines instructors on how to apply 'transitory discomfort' paid off. I remember overhearing my sister telling her schoolmates once 'whatever you do - don't give him your hand!'

I always hold SWMBO's hand when we go shopping - just to stop her going into all the shops and spending a fortune.
