OMG - we have a for sale section, they obviously thought they were following the rules and donated, got it wrong so asked for donation back. Give it back and carry on... I agree with someone (above) who said that anyone should be able to advertise in the for sale bit - why is everyone so...

Ouch - stung on ring finger while opening/closing snelgrove board flaps - sting immediately removed but now half the back of my hand is swollen and itchy! Wear gloves even when doing simple things is the lesson here! R2

In my experience the string is about 8" long... ;-) R2

Yellow and black stripes - I'm surprised BBWear don't do one already... R2

Bonjour Claude! Chris was the auctioneer at Yalding Bee Fayre - the auction was a bit of shambles with no mention that many of the lots were his own... R2

Why ever not - you're not advertising, in fact the beecam is bloody interesting!? In case there's some confusion here's the Rules on 'links' from the forum: POSTING LINKS: Purposely posting links to objectionable material likely to offend will lead to immediate banishment here in the forums...

Small Claims Court for the deposit - do it online for a £25 cost (payable by the landlord if they 'lose'. R2

5 confirmed EFB cases near me - seasonal bee inspector checked mine and three colonies affected and destroyed. R2

I don't charge but I do suggestion a donation to charity or our association. Our swarm controller is very good at filtering out the dross - only honey bees when I arrive so far... In my 1st year I was called out to a swarm about 20 miles away, I questioned the guy at length and was assured...

Prickly - you had some good responses and some gentle ribbing - not sure I'd have (over)reacted as you did. That said, good luck on the other forums, hopefully they won't over-asterisk! R2

Just had to burn and bury the contents of three colonies due to EFB - a bit down during that but then collected the biggest swarm ever! Checked it a day later and it's in the hive (QE underneath), drawing comb, glugging on one2one and orientating. My point - it seems that you will have highs...

Missing an Endif methinks! :) R2

Bad: Burnt the frames and bees from three hives with EFB Good: Collected a huge swarm from a ground floor door frame - weighed a ton! R2

Indeed but our British rules and regulations eveolve and change - so why can't this forums? R2

A quick look at the facts I found on Google! In 2000, the World Health Organisation reported that in the USA, there were only 54 deaths attributable to bee stings – from a population of 281 million. On average four Bee or Wasp sting anaphylaxis deaths are reported per year in the UK and the...

So you are saying that these mysterious people with epipens have been told they need one or they might die but weren't given the instructions on how to use or, even more mysteriously, didn't ask what to do to save their life with their new piece of life-saving equipment? Sounds a bit far...

Two sane responses - I was beginning to think I was the only person here who recognised the futility of the current 'system'... R2
