The only problem with the blue pallets is some of them belong to a company that is very protective of them to the point of insisting that you return them or pay some exorbitant fee for your continued possession of them. There is a white 'C' stencilled on the risers to help you identify them and...

When I give a talk first question is "are there any beekeepers in the room", hopefully the answer will be no. This then leads into the talk, if you get a yes, you might get a discussion with said beekeeper if you say something they don't think is correct. Try to avoid such a situation. As...

There's a fairly comprehensive section on the BBKA website about school visits, national curriculum etc. You might want to have a scan through it. Over here in the West one of our local associations has a bee tent, which they use for visits. I'm not suggesting you go that elaborate but they...

Not only the magazine, but loads of other BBKA systems as well, Exams (only in English), Swarm maps, BDI insurance system, an indecently fast re-design of the website as soon as the old webmaster passed away etc. etc. it's almost as though they don't want to be separate anymore.

There's always the Welsh comic when you're bored. Welsh Beekeeper Magazine - Welsh Beekeepers Association must admit I've not read any of it for ages so no idea how up to date, or correct it might be. I'm sure JBM will be along in a moment for a full and honest review.

The DIY'ers among you might find this useful. using old laptop cameras as CCTV cameras. You would need to make a waterproof case for it or include it in your honey jar display case but not insurmountable problems. Oh, and don't forget, if you're filming people on your premises strictly...

One of those wooden honey dippers with each jar can be used to disguise / bump up the price of a jar, tie it on with a bit of ribbon or tinsel. You should be able to buy them in bulk.

The petition mentioned can be found here: Petition: Require honey labels to reflect all countries of origin of the honey.

I've organised a few local association ones in my time. Add me to the list of people you can PM/DM if you want any help.

She has had various preventative cancer treatments including a double mastectomy as she has certain genes that put her at a high risk of developing various cancers later in life.

Comprehensive information about the subject can be found in this document written by Trading Standards and the British Candle Makers Federation. http://www.britishcandles.org/documents/www.britishcandles.org/Trading_Standards/candlesadvicepack(2020).pdf There's also a section on 'organic'...

Technically all honey is plant based. it's just the way it's processed that's different.

You might be able to find an old drill on eBay that you could modify and bypass the trigger switch. Or a friend used an old washing machine motor to power his then manual extractor, although not of the type you have. It just used a wooden frame to hold the motor above the spindle, but I've got...

I used to buy my mould making supplies from this company Plaster-of-Paris, Casting Plaster, Alginate, Moulding in Modroc, Latex, RTV Silicone, Cold-Cure Rubber, Stone Powder, Easyflo, Jesmonite, Craft Materials & Kits, ... I think you'll find that most commercial moulds are made of Latex...

If you're taking a display hive, then badges for the kids saying "I've seen the queen" go down well too.

A variation you can do is take a jar of the same brand from two different supermarkets some miles apart. They should taste the same (I'd test them first just in case though) then you can explain why that is.
