those x ray spex I sent off for from an ad in MAD magazine still don't work either.

Use a brush.

I dont know Wornholz but using apadea I have had two successes using bees and cells introduced at the same time, but they were from the same hive.

I have two hives with entrances above the supers as well as normal bottom entrances. These are the result of recombining early demaree splits. The demaree board I have left above the supers to gather the flying bees from the top box while the two brood boxes were united with paper (probably...

Had two successes in the same box on the allotment, three weeks apart and one on another site. both the boxes are standard national broods with solid floors, one very old frame covered in propolis and black comb, two or three others with bits of foundation and some empty frames. both over six...

This is a common problem, you have to move them and sooner rather than later. We had a colony on our allotments that did the same and caused a lot of bad feeling. By moving them quickly we were able to then negotiate a separate space away from the plots where three or four people could keep bees...

There are lots of cowboys out there.... I work with two local pest controllers who pass on honey bee swarms and get me to talk to folk with bumble bees about keeping them. If people insist he does destroy them and a call out is around £70 plus mileage.

dont let them drive you out, Im with the name and shame brigade here, if all those who felt abused left it would just be the thoughtless and arrogant bullies left, then the rest of of us would have to leave as well.

I would recommend hanging on to your leather gauntlets for the odd occasion when your just moving kit or filling feeders. When handling frames and learning to handle bees the heaviest recommended would be a marigold style glove. blue nitrile is much better and if you intend to handle queens and...

Helpful stuff thanks. I did my first grafting session with CBBIG last week, will soon have this queen rearing business sorted, hopefully. I may also do a demaree on one of my strongest colonies, nice dark bees on a double brood drawing a third super, but only if it develops cells..... Paignton...

so what happened to: BE KIND and INTERACT, NOT REACT. AGREE TO DISAGREE EVEN IF ATTACKED BY ANOTHER MEMBER - WE WILL HANDLE THE OTHER MEMBER. If you don't agree with someone's view, EXPRESS your views rather than tear down theirs. You have the option on EVERY POST to report that post to admin...
