I normally for as long at least the last 13 years only sublimated once - after Xmas. But for some weird reason have done it twice since Xmas to check the difference in dead mite load and found ................................................................................NOWT. If you really...

Glad to hear it and sorry old mate that you must have had a medical problem to be' awarded' the honour of poo sticks? Anything I need to look out for? I am merely bloody ancient with nothing much that is untoward atm and almost looking forward to get off this declining globe before we all fry.

I wanna poo stick now.

What qualification is needed. I'm 87 going on 21 and haven't got an offer yet so what makes you so 'special' at my expense.🤣🤣

Stoopid me - got a spare for free?

Tis why I ignore him- bends my brain too much at my age!! :whistle: :whistle:

Let common sense prevail here. When one only has a couple or so hives the Varrox is enough without all the extra gear you think you might need for the gas vap or whatever. I used the Varrox when I had 6 hives without all that fussy gear without a single accidental inhalation. Battery might need...

ditto - never used anything else. :iagree:

My kids and their kids do that to me. Just 'cos they've got degrees and I don't even have an 'O' level 'cos they didn't exist in my dayl!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Like watching paint dry comes to mind! :D :D :D

For brace combing that you don't want.

Bought a trap several years ago but the little sods were too smart so got rid. Can't stand useless junk!!

Wish my cat would do something about the hundreds of the buggers that seem to exist in the 3 1/2 acres of untended woodland behind my house. Owner next door nothing about them and I can't handle lead poison. Rotten shot try as I might.
