Yes i get between 27 to 32 pounds for a national super with 10 frames each super fills 10l bucket

Would freezing heather honey in buckets stop it fermenting?

I haven't seen this before anyone have this

I could see it working but the cells would probably be destroyed in the process. You could imagine moving a frame up and down a few times to loosen the heather

I bought the abelo hand loosener last year , its a terrible slow task i had over 20 supers to get done .. Never again !

I decided not to go to the heather this year with work and family holidays ect . I got one apiary 3 miles from heather all nine colonies filled a box of heather and 2 colonies filled 2 Happy

10 litre buckets

There are two fields of chicory next my apiary

The bees done a great job this year with packed supers and beautiful white cappings

I use national size supers This year the ten frame supers all weighed in between 28 and 32 pounds. I have never had supers fill a bucket each I think I'll be converting most my supers to ten frame castelations now

Thats not good . The material is suppose to prevent Asian hornet stings never mind bees .. Disappointed to hear that the reason i bought one is because im getting bad reactions this year after 5 years beekeeping

I bought the ultra suit i was a bit pissed off that the sting proof material only went to mid forearm and just below the knees ridiculous..its an expensive suit and you shouldn't have to fork out more cash for gauntlets. Can i ask Where on the body were you stung trough suit ?

Super flow on here in co wicklow i think i will skip inspections this weekend and leave them at it i gave them lots of space on inspection last week

Looks starved out

Just give her another box to lay up . She obviously needs another box . You could swap out a couple of frames for drawn comb but that will only buy you a little time

I must say i had 300 spare drawn brood comb at the start of the season and it made this year's beekeeping alot easier on management

So do you have to use an epipen every time you get stung ? How do you protect yourself against getting stung

Thats a pity they look great

Its certainly not a nice experience ! . Layer up on next visit and goodluck
