It certainly would

This graph does not show effect of climate change. There are many possible reasons for increased crop yield over the last few decades. Cause and effect is not established.

Its fair to say it does limit your options though. He didn't say there wasn't one.

I do find the frames cumbersome to handle and its good advise to actually handle them before you go down this route. Glad I did before listening to the 14 x12 users.

Thought I would start a thread similar to the Dave Cushman thread. Many will remember polyhive on this forum a few years ago. He stopped contributing in order to set up his own site using much of the info from Dave Cushman site as a starting point in order the ensure this resource was not lost...

No problem for me either. Seems reasonable well balanced. Not sure about less prolific bees giving same or better yield of honey. Really?

This makes a lot of sense to me. But would add it is often difficult to not become so specialised if you really want to understand a particular problem in science. This is one reason why collaboration is so important rather than simply postulating I reckon this is not important etc. In this...

not worthy I love your attention to detail. not worthy

Sorry had to comment on this Enrico. Not sure this is good medical advise. Can be lowered with diet so best to address rather than ignore. Hopefully one of the forum medicals docs will confirm. My father died at 42 many years ago when far less known about this.

Yes it does.

A number of things worry me here: The term desiccation is being incorrectly used here. Desiccation involved the extreme drying which will not occur here. The bees will not be dried to a desiccated/dehydrated state The water involved in a bee cluster will be a gas vapour so not available to...

Having extensive cold surfaces at the same height of the bees will continually remove water vapour and water from the bees, thus creating a need for water. A cold hive might have damp wet walls but it is actually dessicating the bees. Cannot see how this holds water scientifically. Does the...

Agree with that too (Well in UK anyway rather that any specific country within the UK).

Thanks for that; It pleases me as almost all my stuff is second quality. But is it still the same wood apart from where it come from though or does it not last as long or have any other drawbacks? Not really thought too much about it before.

I had assumed that other suppliers use cedar from closer to home. Could be wrong on this though so need to look it up...

Not if it is being transported accross the atlantic its not (if you are talking about the actual end product being used in the UK). The sustainibility then includes the carbon footprint of the transport costs. Unless of course they are going to use a green fuel such as biodiesel which is...

Have queen/nuc suppliers got any price matching?

Thanks Mintmoth. That does it for me. No significant price advantage and a far less sustainable source as it has to be transported much further.

Caustic soda/lye/sodium hydroxide are the same thing. Can be used with alot of care as it is really very corrosive.
