Oven, just use monitoring to see what temperature it is a low range, and don't forget to let everyone know you are using the oven. dried a couple of buckets in the oven at low temperature once, and someone turned it up to cooking temperature before checking. luckily smell gave it aware before...

All valid comments, conveniently ignored by proponents of this non beekeeping system welcome to grumpy old git territory :LOL:

warm today in the sun for a couple of hours a bit further south - car measured 17C, but I don't believe that air temperature. It then rained :(. Bees flying in the sun and gathering orange/yellow pollen when I checked, but I resisted urge to crack the crown boards just yet. In previous...

Saffron is a big target for adulteration as its so expensive. Cant see the point of cutting oregano as its cheap as. might as well make the crime worth its while ;)

try heating wax upto 150C for making candles and see the difference between that and and candles made at the recommended temperature of 58 to 74C (from my wax melting thermometer). BP, I think you might mean 150F ca 65C to avoid any nasty incidences with wax ;)

no, don't do it. Your better than that @Antipodes :LOL:

And this post demonstrates the naivety of your knowledge as; a) using FC approach requires deliberate release of non native species if formulated into an official treatment - see #340 b) Fipronil when formulated into the custard needs to be used immediately as is inactivated in the presence of...

Ironically Michael instant gratification and using the means to obtaining it are one of the UK societies attitudes imported from exposure to US culture IMO

If the rain continues at the current rate, there be a few more beekeepers developing webbed feet :LOL:

surely our lips are sealed is more appropriate ;)
