I had a go on a latshaw in the summer, but I have been told the schley system is a little easier to use, so I was going to have a go at making a stand, I hope get my self on a II course soon.

no joke, have access to laser cutter, just need a few plans so I can draw it up in CAD

Has any one got any plans? I fancy a little project.

Im finding it hard to get in on a working visa and im 29 and skilled so there no way they will let you in unless you have been beekeeping large scale for years.

please pm for address. I've had 6 in 2 day so im a little over run. jimmy ps its on a flat roof will need ladder.

And also my birthday!

some beekeeper dont know the first thing about collecting swarms they make a mess and other's have to clean up after them this is unfair and wrong I dont think the bbka has the right to put people on there list who are not skilled in any way to collect swarms. some people that are on the list...

so we are insured to climb on some ones roof to remove swarms, covered for damage that may happen and if the bee's sting and kill the owner of the house ill be fine then. as long as there is no money changing hands some how i dont think so.

there not insured read your bbka info you need 3 part insurance to work in the public sector like my electrical insurance. they only thing that are insured are your hives

if you wanted bees for free then why not go pick them up

very nice will read thanks

Yes it has I had a queen off some one the other week and it had not started to lay yesterday I found it returning from a filght

dont bother! if they was any thing like last years try kbs. I bet they may need feeding

Poly Hive have you got a picture of the queen? Bickerstaffes queen bees AMM? I had a swarm from a wood a few weeks a go and the bees are pure black no strips what so ever and really nice to work with.
