    Well, Mr. Pargyle, I can only respond to this in the words of T.S. Eliot, as referred to Ezra Pound in The Waste Land; - “il miglior fabbro” Or to put in West Country vernacular - “proper job” 😀😀😀😀😀

    Attacked by dogs so w hen would be the best time to move bees?

    Totally agree. Breeders are charging stupid money as stupid breeders have sold to unscrupulous people who have resold puppies on line to make a fast buck. Either they want to stop the reselling, or they want the profit for themselves. You decide.

    Uncapping frames

    I tried the heat gun method this year and found the wax resolidified on the combs and it hindered the extraction process.

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Wow! We’ve noticed the top end of the market just take off since lockdown, properties that just didn’t sell, suddenly selling. These are properties with land often in excess of a million. But London values of a two bedroom townhouse seemingly is enough! Folks who have found they can work from...

    You’re right there, any houses with good size plots are selling really quickly at stupid prices to folks from the smoke. It’s covid that’s doing it, city life is no longer in vogue. Forgot to quote your last post Phil...
