Saw someone in a bee suit in the background on Dragons Day - does anyone know what they were pitching? R2

With the winter coming buy Roger Patterson's or Ted Hooper's books and read up on beekeeping and you'll haveall/some of the answers you need. R2

I'm sure I heard that story a year or two ago... Typical Daily Mail! R2 ps. I have no connection with the Daily Mail and I am not French!

On what grounds? And when is a bid on ebay a snipe? One minute from the end? 30 seconds from the end? R2

Loads of them: R2

Not tried it but vasaline on the joints is the way forward... R2 ps. I have no connection with Vasaline

I use bid groups on regularly repeated items - this is a feature of Auctionsniper - you set a max on any number of items and it'll keep trying until you win one (or more if you specify more) of them. You're right - some see sniping as cheating but as soon as you realise that eBay is not the...

...or hit two Sales and spread the load?! That's what I did! R2

Again - why make an opening bid and then allow 7-10 days for someone to beat you - bid/snipe at the end and they cannot respond... R2 I have no connection with eBay or Auctionsniper

Some of mine are in a draughty place so I leave them in but notice that the boards are blown/sucked out occasionally. Or maybe the bees all come out and move it themselves! Obviously I keep it clean - in my first winter (2011-12) I let the debris build up on one and ended up with a perfect home...

They put your name on the boxes and 1 of X but that's too late when you get there. You could always empty the boxes to fit around your passenger(s)...:smilielol5: R2

Cornwall is a long way away (I used to live there) but a weekend away in Sussex could be quite splendid! ;) R2 ps. I have no connection with the Sussex Tourist Board

Inherited a Paynes national and intend putting one of mine in it for over wintering as an experiment. With regards the feeder - I like the idea of gloss painting - my suggestion would be to add in some sand to the last coat for grip. I use Sandtex smooth - 2 or 3 coats by roller works...

Oh, and people who put live kittens on big hooks through the neck skin and use them as live bait for shark fishing. Don't think it doesn't happen - it does! R2

Asterisks in company names! "People who snipe my fleabay bid in the last 2 seconds when I've been the high bidder for 7 days" Eh? Why would you bid on an item on any auction with a fixed time limit? Logically there is absolutely zero benefit of playing your hand 7 days in advance - you're just...

Easily done! Went to Stockbridge (straight up the 272 from Haywards Heath and turn left onto the A30) last weekend for a few more bits'n'pieces - equally good but with a burger van and home made cake! Brilliant! R2

Make up some feeders - 46x46cm (for national) ply base, 8mm x 12mm ply around the base, 1/2" x 3 or 4" sides, slightly smaller dam and slide-inable barrier with slots, waterproof glue and gloss paint and a ply lid. Drill some big holes and mesh over the entrance = Ashforth feeder. Make up...

Ooops - we let foreigners on here?! ;-) R2

Go for the bog standard modified national - that's what the majority use in the UK. R2
