The tracker and especially the disklok are your best deterrents imo. Apple do some tracking devices that are quite low cost that can be placed just about anywhere and don't require subscription I believe. I had a tranny with the banana engine that I had done a camper conversion on stolen some...

When my good lady has been driving our car for a number of journeys it tends to choke up, I tell her to drop a gear for those short runs to get the 3k revs. it does not happen of course. Modern vehicles,diesels, need 15 mins of high revs a week to get them hot enough and keep them clear. Makes a...

Be careful with that Landy, they are becoming very valuable as you probably know. It is worth quite a sum as parts alone

He may just be smart enough to keep to his intended 3 colonies and not get carried away like some we will not mention :}

History disappearing, know what you mean.

your actions today mean you have slipped through the clearing board and into the world of the Beeks, I think you are going to do OK

You have had plenty of advice here, the only thing I might add is that the time of day to disturb the girls can be crucial to their response, pleasant or grumpy aggressive. I find mid day up until 2.30, especially when the sun is lower in the sky, produces the calmest response

Myself and my good lady do such things. I have often placed a cold or wet bee in my cupped hands and blown warm air to revive them. Nuts I know but there you go.

I think you are taking the right approach.I have had 2 cars with this problem, one a zafira and the other a Saab sport wagon. I have no experience of Skoda but if there is any orifice through which you can fire thin oil that will land around the lock mechanism it might help with your problem...

In short you will not, it is a judgement thing, for now I would not get hung up on that. Your immediate concern will be the fragility of that brood box, some taping and strapping might be in order prior to opening. This colony, how much interaction have you had with it's inhabitants whilst in...

Really not the same thing, one never knows how you may react. I think a quick peek under the roof would be more than enough and take in what you see. There will be othe opportunity to plonk a bit of fondant in or if there is space put a lump in any gap, the girls will generally sort it out...

We have not asked you whether you have ever had your head in a box and whether you are adequately suited and booted for this task, real caution is needed here

That Queen excluder may be the Achilles heel if it is glued down, might best be left until spring

Go slowly and gently, have everything to hand you think you might need and if things get grumpy stay calm. The super, once QE is removed and that might be more of a task than you think due to being glued down with propolis., would be ideal for placing your fondant in. A fragile box could spell...

Best of luck, if they have not been attended to they may be well provisioned already. Have you tried hefting the box or boxes to gauge if they feel as heavy or heavier than you would expect ? What is the current set up in regards number of boxes etc. ?

Excellent reason

89p jars of honey at Lidl, a blend of EU sourced honey. My neighbours wife consumes it in quite large quantity, he laughs at it actually being honey but says nothing to her. I benefit as he delabels the jars and washes them before handing over to me. I currently have quite a few and have used...

Needs an end cap on that trough. Who picked the pink ?

I make my roofs deep enough to accommodate 50mm PIr insulation, left in place year round. If I judge hives could be too hot, bees bearding or fanning entrances, in summer then I place 1/4 inch strips on top of disc vented crownboard
