    Independant Beekeepers

    I am not really a "joiner" the idea of summer bbq's with the "club" filled me with chills, especially as one old boy insisted that my childrens school was run by scientologists, and would not have it that Rudolf Steiner was not a religous sect leader........ but that is another story...... it...

    too late for oxalic acid?

    Hi Hivemaker, just out of interest as a newbee do you have omf's and if so why do you not cover the top, I understood that there would be too much of a draft for the little bees with an open floor. I guess if you insulate above then it doesn't make much difference because the air above and below...
