Makes sense - thanks! I have mini-consumer units in both garage and shed. No room for an extra circuit in the garage so will just run it off the garage's ring main circuit; the house is close enough if I need to turn it all off. All linked by armoured cable natch! R2

At home I have a garage which has an electrical supply from one of the circuits on my house's consumer unit so is protected by an RCD and an MCB. The garage has it's own mini consumer unit. I have just created my own bee shed (not for bees but for the facilitating of beekeeping!) which I am...

What make'n'model is your 'booster'? R2

Ethernet over mains works well - came as standard with our BT Vision setup... R2

Wireless is less disruptive and Wireless N beats Cat 5... At the risk of incrementing my external link count here's a link to some good advice: http://www.broadbandutopia.com/caandcaco.html R2

I think you'll find that my links are to interesting things such as this ebay item and not just 'buy my product' links which none of us want. I am not getting this aversion to links of any kind that some on here obviously have (hence my attempt at humour) - it is what the world wide WEB is all...

Item Sold Sold for about £13 incl postage - never did get a reply to my query about non-aggressive, non-swarming honey producing solitary bees! And what the heck are trays used for? Unless it was one of 'us' then the buyer is likely to be very disappointed. Here's a link to the now-ended...

Not so - all they do is read the posts like a normal person (I'm not saying moderators aren't normal!) and decide there and then if what's posted is acceptable. They don't need to follow every link (unless they want to) as it should be obvious if it's a commercial link eg. Buy my hive cleaner...

Time's up - please make a decision before I die of old age! R2

So please stop the asterisk thing and get the moderators to remove blatant self-promoting links and try it for a few months... R2

Agreed - the Poll is poorly conceived - no-one would want Micky Maisemore to pop in constant links to his site but where's the harm in Beekeeeper Bob letting the forum know that Maisemore's are having a sale? The poll options should have been, perhaps: [_] No external links [_] No...

A personal attack? That implies that I called you an idiot or something! Which I didn't - I just pointed out that it wasn't a commercial link (ie. I'm not the seller) but a link to something of interest to the forum. You guys really need to sort this out once and for all as this forum is...

You'd think wouldn't you! A moderator just deleted a link to a garden beehive on eBay that no-one in their right mind would buy but which many people on this forum would find interesting due to it's total naivity of all things bees. It was obvious that I'm not the seller and that it wasn't a...

One has just appeared on ebay with even more incorrect and contradictory information: search for Garden Beehive R2

Cleaning Poly Hives Cleaning Poly Hives Just had a talk from the Bee Inspector - he recommends cleaning a Poly hive by scraping off the propolis and other sticky stuff and then 20 minutes contact time in .5% sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach is normally 3% so dilute accordingly). So either...

Welcome Tony I suggest you join your local association to find the best local source for bees (and for courses on how to look after bees...) R2

How rude you are - it was my Escort and that was the mpg I was getting. I was young, I'd changed the engine for a 1300 out of a cortina with a non-standard carb so 25 is what I got boy racing around the Devon lanes. So less rubbish, just different to you... As for the weekly wage, that was...

Agreed but the steep slope and accessibility issues (and the owner wanting it gone!) meant this was our only real option. At least we tried and the neighbours are happy! R2
