Just wanted to say a quick thank you to a forum member who helped me out with a temp apiary location. All moved now and requeening can start for this colony. Their temperament was much better today but still a few pesky ones following me about. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the offer, I'm trying to find something closer to home around Sittingbourne. They are at my parents in Ashford at the moment. I'll be in touch if I can't find an out apiary by the weekend when I'm planning on moving them away. If anyone knows a location between Ashford and...

Thanks people, I appreciate your suggestions. I've moved bees before in that way but never with an aggressive hive. I'll give the move a go as soon as I can. Is transporting in a trailer not a good idea? They do tend to bounce a bit unless they have some weight in and I can't see the bees...

I've been keeping bees for about 7 years now and never had a hive go as bonkers as this! I've got them following even the day after a brief inspection and bee's stinging me while trying to sort them out and now the neighbour has been stung in the face. They were pinging off their window after...

Or near offer Forgot to say reasonable offers will not be refused as I do need to reduce the size of my apiary in Ashford. Please PM me an offer if you are interested.

Easy! They were coming out this hole they had chewed in the fibrebaord and getting stuck at the window.

Yes it was lovely, its an incredible instinct, built so accurately. We managed to save allmost all of the brood comb and fed them a little to replace the honey stores we cut out. That was a sticky job!!

Found photos of my first ever cut out from 2010 and thought you might like to see the pictures. The bees were chewing their way through a fibreboard wall on the inside of a dorma window. It was a pretty big house and I don't think the owners live in all of it so hadn't noticed our winged...

Hi All, I must reduce the size of my out apiary at my parents home so I have 2 full colonies over 11 frames and a 6 frame nuc for sale depending on what you would like. They are a good temperament local bee from splits earlier in the year. On national frames, boxes are full of bees, supers on...

One more available for sale at the moment. Hi Tony, Yes I have one more available that I must sell. Had another forum member come today for a nuc and a full hive. You have PM. bee-smillie Regards

Due to work commitments I must reduce the size of my out apiary that I would usually look at on my way home from work :( So I have a couple of either full hives or nuc's for sale depending on what you would like. They are a good temperament local bee from splits last year and they have had...

Opened up today, sunny 15+ degrees and bees are in a sheltered location so no breeze. Bees collecting pollen like crazy. Queenright in all and decent patches of brood developing in all stages. Some hives have done better with their winter stores than others but all have some available still...

If you search for this string in the never failing google you'll be taken to a well known supplier with a bargin bin. National-Roof-Metal-Only-Spoiled-Buckled-p-16787 Bent but not beyond help roofing material, ready folded with just a little straightening needed. Got myself three and they are...

I have a Nuc for sale with 2010 queen that has been laying well for 2 months, unmarked at the moment but I can mark her for you if you like. She is the daughter of my best honey producing hive. The are on national frames, good brood pattern and gentle nature. Private Message me back if you are...

Just to get you all geared up for the swarming season.... here is a photo from the metro today Anyone for a swarm on the socks - you'd want to check your undies before slipping them on eh?! :willy_nilly:

On the other side of the coin.... Maybe the guy is afraid that a newbee will have hives that do swarm due to inexperience. Then if someone does happen to get stung at some point the finger would be pointed at him as well as you and you'd both be required to move your hives. He has obviously...

I know they are only seconds but was expecting something completely similar,there were no other bits like it in the entire order. I'm not bothered by the live knots, thats why I got the sale bits, although there are very few in all of the bits I got. Overall very good for the price! Thanks...

I have e-mailed Thornes again, this time with the following picture. We'll see what they come back with... Thanks for your advice Tom.

Thanks Tom. I have e-mailed thornes and they said it is possibly a piece of English Cedar. In any case it is very white on both sides. I think I may e-mail them a picture and press them for a replacement, it is only one side after all.

Got my Thornes sales stuff day before yesterday. Just got around to unpacking it. It is mostly of very good quality but with some pieces having more knots than others. One side piece from a roof though was a very very light coloured wood - I would say it looked like pine. The other parts of...
