Could be fleabane, that gives yellow cappings.

I bought a bucket of “flowers of sulphur” (Sulphur powder) nice and cheap. I put a spoonful into a tea light tray and light it. Stays lit no problem!

I soaked mine in a strong soda solution in a gravel tray that I use to sit supers on. Left them for a few days then power washed them off. All came up a treat. Ahhhhh, not sure if wood framed one would fair too well as mine are all plastic or punched steel.

I have a gravity fed system that Thornes and Maisemore sell which is equivalent to the first example but from what @ericbeaumont says the pump version is superior @Moobee is selling a manual machine at the moment

I cleared a few of my bait hives up this week. When I opened this one I was met with a sad sight. Blue **** had obviously taken up residence but had failed to hatch the clutch of eggs. When I showed it to my granddaughter she spotted the body of a parent at one edge.

Me too! 😂

I had an interesting “purchase” today. Someone parked on my drive, walked up to my shelves took a jar of honey, left an envelope on the shelf, went back to their car and drove off. Unfortunately the envelope only contained £2.85 for a £6.50 jar of honey. This lady obviously didn’t realise the...

Sorry james, I’m sure you were expecting the retort “No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

Yes it stores approximately 6-800 video clips that automatically overwrite.

I’ve only ever been disappointed once while dealing with them. I ordered 4x6 frame 14x12 nucs and the 6th frame was basically foundation I complained but was told that it was standard. When I referenced the NBU’s definition there was a lot of mumbling and promising of recompense but tbh I...

No it’s uncapping the next 12 frames time!!!! 😅

Nothing to the inquisition I’ll have when that pallet of nucs arrives! 😱

The 2 years quoted is for very little use. I find mine last for 2-3 months but it still works out at less than £1/ month I still think the blink system works well if you have WiFi at the gate.

What of?

Have you got the latest Konigin controller? After having to return my original controller 6 times I am now the proud possessor of a new model that has worked faultlessly since I got it 18 months ago.

Unfortunately the ekes are based around changing the national BB into 14x12’s so are only 90mm deep. 2 would only be 180mm not the 225mm need for an additional brood depth.

If I was building a new room I would ideally use a 20’ container and line either with plastic sheeting or timber coated in 2 pack epoxy. But since most here will probably be looking at converting a shed I would do as follows. 1 Reinforce the floor to prevent flexing of the floor. 2 Lay a floor...

The best advice I’d give is build one twice as big as you think you need!!! 😁

I think I posted a bit on here a few years ago when I had a jar of honey stolen from my shelves by a group of young girls. They managed to hide the theft from a camera that is on the wall above the shelves but I also have another camera secreted in the WBC hive that acts as a signboard for my...

I use BAKO. I negotiated a rate of about £14.60 /12.5kg a few months ago. They will deliver for free if you order a minimum of £150 so I often only order 11 at a time and they will normally deliver within the week,!
