I’ve had great success using what I call my funnel floor. This allows dead and dying bees to fall from the brood box but can still be defended by guards. Edit! CAUTION!!!! Don’t leave this on for too long during a flow as you can end up with extended combs from the bottom of the frames. I can...

In fact I made a crownboard out of correx after that conversation. It seems to have performed well this season.

Removed Apivar strips from 50% of the treated hives. All but one looked good and almost up to weight. (I’ll put the “one “ in a poly nuc on Thursday ) And only one was fiesty even in the constant drizzle.

When I owned a company installing these systems they had to raise the temperature above 60 once a week. I believe the specifications say once a day now but as long as water doesn’t remain in pipes, taps and shower heads for any extended time it should be safe. I do the legionella control for my...

I always do, I decided I wouldn’t go today as none of the lecture descriptions inspired me and I’d bought everything i needed and thought I’d avoid anymore temptation. 😁

I bet it will still be 50 x the price of the stuff we don’t use…….,

Ah, I went off at Milford so I didn’t get that far!

I agree, but you rarely get a good deal on new equipment like that.

The big boys have got their seconds at sale prices. Gill from Thornes told me they have a sale starting Sunday. Some brilliant lectures. Martin Giurfa has done 2 amazing ones.

One director at the moment! 🤣

Just the two? 😁

I just put the slap on the edge of a 2” slab of PIR then as you cut the section you are cutting peels away onto a piece of cling film. I think I put a video of me doing it on line once.

I’ve worked hard over the last 10 years to develop a fine 6 pack but I don’t want it getting damaged so keep it tucked away under a layer of blubber 🤣

And I’m the ageing, bald overweight one!. (There won’t be many of them around)

Any idea on delivery cost? Edit. Just noticed free shipping on £250 so min order of 19 boxes! 😁
