frame sizes,Deep National 14"x8" Extra deep National 14" x12" and Short lug Commercial 16" x 10"...also notionaly the same 18.25" ( 46cm) square formate though commercial are 18.5" (47cm) so a National is i think 225mm deep and a 14x12 315mm deep

well I am 6ft 2 and for large 70,000 cell box i find 14x12 unwieldy compared to commercial 16x10 but use 14x12 as i like even less the small 16x10 lug and small hand holds on commercials likewise deep langstroth and commecial supers with small handholds are a nightmare lifting off

i agree with Pargyle, standardize at least each apairy on the same type, i run most sites of 14x12 but one site is on Commercial 16x10 and still when i need a box it is sods law i have the other type in the car However try them and see what you think, it is easy to convert a national box to...

I have seen set honey for sale that is so white that it must have more feed sugar than OSR Honey in it, it turned out that it came from hives that had been shook swarmed then fed api-invert liquid sugars

2003 regs are now revoked but similar requirement is in The Honey (England) Regulation 2015 or identical 2015 regs for Wales and Scotland for those in the far reaches of the UK

I was cautious and did not use it and vapped instead it is probably only oxidation of the fill substance, but from the colour could be HMF from a sugar

having opened a two year old packet and not quite right, it is not just oxalic dihydrate but 86% oxalic and 14% fill powder it seems to degrade the fill powder to a brown substance, i made up the old apibioxal and the liquid was orange!!

i have a few maisemore polyhives in both 14x12 and commercial bottom bee space, the Crown Boards supplied are zero bee space clear acrylic clear sheets, So no space for fondant. Do you suggest using an eke for fondant?

i have one Buckfast strain hive on a 4th storey green roof in a sun trap (glass on three sides) that alway has drones until November, and i mean greater than 10% drones of all shapes and colours, no idea why but it occurs every year even though i change the queen every two years

it can be a sign the bee are infected with Nosema ceranae as that seems to make them more hungry, have you had them tested for nosema? Have they been slow to biuld up over summer?

getting back to the OP, during the 18c break in winter I inspected all my poly hives and also most of my wooden hives No difference in the number of bees in either BUT the wooden hives had on average three frames of brood and the poly hives ( except one) didn't even have eggs, i suspect as they...

yes, we should never have allowed the IOW ferry to dock at portsmouth then A.m.m wouldn't have been wiped out in the early 20th centruary from most of England by I.O.W disease

in London 2 days ago, i have green pollen coming in so possible it was green snowdrop pollen

found exactly the same week before christmas and for similar reasons, forty hives vapourised with oxalic and one found dead that in late august had a single queen cell.

my wife uses a Toyota Aygo ( almost a smart car) and drives around in London 20mph zone roads. i had to go to Carn Brea near Cambourne to see my aunt who was very ill and my car had a cracked Radiator, so i borrowed my wife's aygo Motoway all the way at night and it maxed out at 65mph at the...

looking through old BBKA journals the average 1lb of honey was said to be equal to the vale of a farm labourer 's hourly rate of pay Farmers weekly says the farm labourer wage is now £8.74 per hour so £6.55 per 12oz or £8.75 per 1lb or £9 per 500g would seem a minimum honey sale price based...

I will have to raid the wife's piggy bank and buy a Jar to see if it tastes better than mine
