Welcome to the forum :-)

Hi, Are you going to the meeting in Saturday? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glanced at the BBKA site this morning to look at insurance and there was definitely something on there about £500 excess. Will read it properly this evening.

Hi, just a quick line to try to unite with any local members

:iagree: Very interesting and informative and well presented. I kept having a glance round trying to guess who in the room might be using the beekeeping forum just to say "hi" in person to you :-)

We've registered with Adrian as instructed in his email :-)

Does anyone know if honeybees forage on violets? The garden next door to my apiary site is literally carpeted in violets which look like they are about to start flowering. Big time bonus for the bees if they do bee-smillie

I never used to suit up to feed but since becoming allergic I'm far more cautious. If I'm just popping up to see if they're flying or bringing in pollen I don't bother as I don't get close enough to annoy them.

The plight of the honeybee - virulent DWV Is anyone else going this evening?

Hi Don, welcome to the forum :welcome:

I don't know if this is an option for you but when my bees were coming out of their first winter a few year ago, I had a more experienced beekeeper pop round and just give them the once over to make sure they were ok and I was doing everything as I should. A bit of a bee MOT going into Spring...

I have a blue campanula in my garden that attracts both bumble and honey bees bee-smillie

Interesting piece of kit, wonder how effective it really is, the wasps were a nightmare in my area last year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The good thing is the clinic time is 8am so the parking isn't generally a problem, traffic getting there on the other hand can be a nightmare. The clinic always seems to run to schedule too, you don't get any backlog of patients before you, its all quite efficient.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you

Drop her off at the garden centre then pick her back up later? Win win, she gets to shop without you harassing her to hurry up, you get to spend time at your apiary. A bit of me time all round :hurray:

Hey Beeno Yes, I froze them but was out smarted by a moth that found the tiniest of gaps and moved in. Oh well, no point crying over spoilt frames :hairpull:
