I don't think they are scouts, she said there were 40 at least in the room before she opened the windows and a steady stream going in and out throughout the day yesterday. I am defo not insured apart from basic BBKA insurance and don't want to do any smoking or building work and the thought of...

Hi all, I am after a bit of advice. I was called out yesterday to a house that have bees in the roof of their garage/annex. I have attached a couple of photos that I took of where they are and to be honest I am not sure they are worth the bother because it will require a bit of work to take...

Mosquito - maybe you could be right. I have found a few in our garden/garage over the past few years and they all seemed much darker than this one but then again I know there are lots of variations so maybe it is. Anyway my fellow beekeeper is ringing her local inspector and probably DEFRA...

Possibly but not convinced.

:hurray::smilielol5::smilielol5: well done Kaz!! You don't know what it is then? Apart from a spider!!

23) how are you going to catch them? in a net?

Does anyone know what type of spider this is? A fellow beekeeper found them in the top of her WBC and unfortunately she smashed :beatdeadhorse5: them up before taking any descent photos. :banghead: She said they were is a hard clay like cocoon/shell. This isn't something I have heard of...

Where is it? I cant see it?

Me too - yey!!!:cheers2:

If you had a hive that had been artificially swarmed and also swarmed twice would you leave two queen cells hatching at the same time to sort themselves out or would you take one queen out? :confused:

Blimey do they carry around their own hive? I wish the swarms I have collected did; it would save me a lot of money!

Not heard this before; is it common practice?

So who remembers beekeeping in 1976? I was only 3 so I don't really remember much about it apart from lots of ladybirds. If this summer really does turn out to be a hot and dry one what does this mean for our bee's? Is it a good or bad thing? Discuss.............................:coolgleamA...

How close can I place a prime swarm from the parent hive? Even if I change the entrance direction am I going to end up with drifting or once they leave is that it they will never darken the parent hive door again? Probably a really stupid question but I am sure someone will tell me if it is :o
