Good luck! Please don't forget to let us know how you get on. :)

Wow! You should be fine, bet you have the best looking cake there! Re the eggs, I think they make a massive difference to the end product. I'm lucky we have our own ducks/bantams free ranging, so top notch eggs on tap, but commercial eggs, (even the 'organic' ones you buy in the supermarket)...

Lol, thats Ok! ;) Part of the reason we moved was to put some distance between ourselves and Hinkley, though I think we are still too close for comfort........ Nuclear power is obviously am emotive subject, but it's a good thing that people can express their opinions, whether for or against...

I reckon you are much better off making the cakes the day before, then putting them in an airtight tin, it gives a much 'moister' result! (I'm always baking birthday cakes etc and find they tend to be slightly drier if eaten the same day) Don't make any icing/frosting/topping until the day of...

I live in the small Mendip village of Stoke St Michael, I used to live in Watchet, which probably isn't far from you. My Mum still does live in Watchet and is an avid fan of wind turbines! :)

Lol, not sure what this means?

A what?! Seems very cheap for a portable stool... lol

Brilliant! Glad you are all sorted. :)

Way hey! I hope I get a chance to catch a swarm in mine too :party:

Lol !!!!!!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Nuclear power safe? I think not................ ;) Really? I thought there were several nukes past their sell by date, and lots of debate about who is to pay for the decommissioning as no one seems to want to accept the financial burden and responsibility......

Me too, but bought the large one -hope its not too big?!!

Nuclear is the dangerous option, regardless of efficent it is. (and I think it's a very expensive option) I, for one, am not happy investing in something we have no way of processing the waste from, and something that if/when something goes wrong the results are catastrophic. I guess I am biased...

How can you tell?

So sorry to hear of your troubles, as a new beek it makes worrying reading! I think whether or not you continue keeping bees depends solely on whether or not you want to continue? It sounds like you have lost confidence and need ongoing support, (which should be forthcoming from your local...

Eh? Sorry, never heard of this before? Thought the average temps were rising dramatically? :confused:

OK, thanks John :) You didn't notice any benefit to the bees then, keeping them in the dark as much as possible? (like a top bar hive I suppose) I think they are quite expensive, so I won't bother buying any if you don't advise it...... has anyone else used them?

Could you wash them?

Why did you stop using the manipulating cloths? After watching those old films, I'm really tempted to try using one, or do you need two perhaps? (in the films it looked as though the beek was a magician, whipping away his handkerchief, about to pull a rabbit out of the hive maybe?!)
