One has to strike while the iron is hot. I was told about a garage needing clearing in the locality a couple of weeks ago - and the offer was free timber so I couldn't really turn it down. I've been thinking about making a quad hive stand for a while to go on one of my better sites to both fit...

that'll be Finman's staple diet there

Well my Christmas day was spent as a taxi and pot washer-upper....I drove my elderly parents from Stroud over to my sisters in Cheltenham for a splendid Christmas meal and had a nice chat with my father who's forgiven me for telling him off about not driving until (if) his eyes get better....and...

a ton ?? a super is on average 25lb. 9x25 = 225lb plus hives max 500lb which is 22% of an imperial ton (2240lb) IF I had bees that on three hives could produce 2240lb then I could retire a happy beekeeper !!

I agree - but my point is that selling beehive products to people who are already beekeepers (honey/wax/propolis/candles) they won't buy them - it's the general public who will (ie like being at an agricultural show or country fair) buy these. Therefore a big promotion of the Tradex needs to go...

I'm not knocking your efforts, far from it, but encouraging the event to expand to other areas calls on an entirely different attendee to come in and let these stands have a good show - first and foremost Beetradex is a trade show, manufacturers selling to beekeepers. Having stands selling hive...

like 'Bee Juice'......?

Interesting my one line comment on Rowse has generated the most comments ! I was in a supermarket the other day and I see Rowse are using a shelf edge tray to hold 6 jars with the strapline 'Protecting Bees & Beekeepers' on it. What the poor uneducated consumer doesn't realise is it's not...

Well it's been a while since I posted. Been so completely busy with main work and the bees I've hardly had a spare moment. But these last few weekends I've managed to find some time to relax, switch off and recharge the batteries. Only three more days in work then a good 12 days off. The bees...

Well, a productive afternoon all told...cleaned out the back of the truck, found a full super of honey in their under the general clutter ! Made up around 100 frames then painted a load of poly nucs KR S

The petition is being 'checked' by HM Government to ensure it complies with Covid regulations probably...

While the term 'raw' is a reflection on the current societal marketing in other sectors to differentiate locally produced artisan food from other mass produced or manufactured goods, I do feel some sort of labelling regulation change is needed to allow customers to differentiate from shoddy...

why oh why would it be 'free' ? such a silly reply on your behalf Arfermo
