    Jar Prices 2024.

    I got some in an emergency earlier this year but I was not very happy with the quality.

    Bee free honey

    But surely that’s the point of it. They do make it up! 🤣

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Chat up the Bako rep and tell them their first quote is too high. My price came down significantly and as I’ve said they deliver free for £150 order.

    Dadant or Thorne Empire

    Mine is an old box some (now defunct) power tool came in.

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Not organised, just disappointed that the InstantVap didn’t come with a carrying box so made one. Me, a proper beekeeper? 🤣

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    My minimum delivery is £150 which equated to 11 boxes last year but I’ve just ordered some for delivery next Tuesday without asking the price so the chances are I’ll only get 10 this year 🙂 Edit. No, price still the same - 11 boxes being delivered next Tuesday and I’m 40 plus miles from their...

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    I used about 14ah to do the 54 colonies but put the InstantVap in my insulated case between apiaries. This kept the temperature at about 150deg which meant I used less power to get back to the 230deg.

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    The InstantVap is so much easier than the Varrox. I did 22 colonies in my main apiary in under 40 minutes. In fact driving from apiary to apiary takes longer than the vaping.

    Test frame now with two small QC’s

    I went though several colonies today that had no brood but I’m sure they are Q+ by their behaviour. I think the queens have been on a sabbatical. 😊

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Just started vape no. 1 on 54 colonies in 9 apiaries, just had enough battery power to finish mainly because I managed to maintain the InstantVap temperature between apiaries.

    Oxalic Acid

    Are we talking 5kg or 500kg here? 🤣

    Oxalic Acid

    Crowd funding by a few thousand beekeepers would have that sum within a week or so.

    Oxalic Acid

    Interesting! Not a business that should be using OA 😂

    Oxalic Acid

    What sort of business did you have to have? Wood related?

    Oxalic Acid

    The last lot I bought was from a construction chemicals company

    Affordable prewired assembled frames?

    I have a few of Murray’s frames and have had a few staples start to pull out of the head of the side bars if it’s in a very propolising hive.

    Frame making

    I’m with enrich on assembly but agree with Eric re making up beforehand. Never had a problem in the spring with frames I’ve waxed overwinter.
