I started with a Nicot system, they are a little hit and miss, I was never a lover of caging the queen in the system. I had better result if I sprayed the system with diluted honey, then put it in a hive and let the bees clean it, did this without the QE on it. Then after a few hours I would...

Car touch-up paint works fine and dries quick as well, Posca Red just kept wearing off last season so I tried it, and works fine. You can buy some that have a fine tube and a brush to apply the paint.

Thats what I purchased, well pleased..

Almost all of my super frames are straight side bars, I did however uncap Hoffman side bar frames as well, no problem. Like others have said here, its so fast, you have to wait for it to reach temperature but when I first used it I had such a grin on my face! Best money I spent in years...

By different frames do you mean National & Langstroth? as you do have to buy a specific knife, mine was for national frames. I set the knife to un-cap all the frames down to within 1-2mm of the top bar. You don't waste honey as it falls into the table and then I run it into buckets ready for the...

I also have the Abelo steam uncapping knife with the table, its a joy to use.

I have a Konigin 8 frame tangential extractor, its brilliant. Load it with 8 super frames start the program and by time you have uncapped 8 frames its ready to be re-loaded with the next eight.

If you search my post I did this before BS HoneyBees marketed theirs. No need to grove the Nuc, all I did was to 'notch' the plywood to fit over the frame runners and I did 'hot glue' a gloved piece of wood over the OMF.

Peter I run mine and didn't even need to bolt it to the floor, I was very impressed with it, frames came out very dry as well. My old thorns one if it wasn't bolded down I had to chase it around! Your 24 frame one must be quite a size.

Tube heaters are great, but I've found you have to use the 2' (600mm) ones, I've tried two 12' (300mm)65W ones and they don't get up to temperature. You can buy these 'Tube' heaters with built in thermostats.

Just checked sugar blocks and some have totally gone, another trip to replace them.

Not if they are 'auto' turning!

A mate has a 9 frame radial Thornes one for sale, it's in good condition. The only advice I can give regarding the size of extractor is think of where you hope to be in a few years, if you buy a small one in a few years you will be looking to buy a bigger one. PM me for his details.

Noticed a load of 'Catkins' out here yesterday.

Nice job! Lets just hope you can find them when you go looking!

Can someone from Admin please contact me, I have tried to contact you and I am sure my PM's are not working and I can't edit a 'For Sales' Post I have, I want to receive email notifications from it.

I had one of these and fixed it once, then decided to replace it with a modern speed controller.

I now have an advert posted in the For Sale section of this site, this contain some more information regarding a bespoke label design and printing of labels. Feel free to pop along and read it.

Yes a tamper proof seal can me arranged but what I have move to is a clear, white or black 60 x 15mm seal with perforations.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to develop your branding.
