Thanks all I’ve found a solution now.

I’m growing a business :)

I know how to do it and have an uncapper myself, and have used this for the past two seasons with my spinner and family members helping but as I have got more and more supers year on year it’s now taking too long and was looking to see if anyone knew of anything on a bigger scale. Thanks for the...

Yes I would have to have a conversation with them about that. I have an electric spinner already.

About 100 or so maybe more

Hi all, Was just wondering if anyone can recommend any honey extraction services? I have my own spinner and did the lot myself last year which took a hell of a long time, and I have more this year than last so wondering if anyone can recommend some mass spinning services? I’ve looked online...

I’m just saying it all seems rather negative and some posts almost seem to be scoffing at the idea of what he’s trying to do, and feels like you’re assuming he doesn’t know what he’s doing and just putting him off the whole thing. When it comes to the original question of finding land or...

I’ve noticed a lot of chat on here about starving bees and how we are feeding them all, but what is it down to? Is it the colder weather? And I’ve noticed big differences geographically between my hives in south wales compared to mid wales…. Any ideas?
