Agree with beejaybee but I only close entrance when wasps about, otherwise leave open all year. I have green woodpeckers around and found that it's usually when the ground is frozen that one in particular would have a go at a hive. Had problems with rats underneath nibbling the floors at one...

There are a couple of threads on this just search STC 1000. Like others I find them ok with no need to use the cooling output.

Mine is 19w X 25h X 16d (inches that is) It is an old upright freezer and takes 50sec to raise it by 1C, 4m 16 sec to drop by 0.1C. Control differential is set at 0.6C Actual Overshoot >1.3C , <0.2C I have the option to switch one heater off. Control is by a STC1000

I have a converted freezer that has 2x60w heaters

Just received a new set of labels from them. Try Phil at psdesignandprint dot co dot UK as this is the one he replied on. They took about a week from order.

I have just had an email from Phil saying he is still doing them!

What are you thinking of doing?

I'm just about to order one, could please explain details of the Alloy inserts. I guess it's for help getting the device in and out but not having it in my hand yet don't know.

Got the same problem, going to treat again and up the dose as I'm using DB

Hives that do not survive the winter often have plenty of stores, so I look inside and give fondant if required, directly above cluster.

Absolutely agree Itma about straps round hives and not just out-apiaries!

A beekeeping friend phoned me last summer whilst he was on holiday, a neighbour had phoned him to say his bees had swarmed into his front garden - could I go round! I did and even gave him back his bees. In a few weeks I'm off to Aussie for 6wks and he has volunteered to look after mine for me...

Put it in the freezer for while then use hive tool then use hot water with washing soda

Goggle burco boiler wiring, there are some pics that may help

There is no need to that, plus you may not get the bees in when you come to use it. Read how to stock mini nuc at buzzybee shop in the download section.

Propolis screen can be used as a travel screen and as previous post says it is different to a QE

Put the varroa board in then you can count the drop, temp should not be a problem. Don't think it kills wax moth but others will soon correct me if I'm wrong.
