when abroad i try and find the local beekeeper and check her out, usually manage it

my bees were bring loads of pollen from it, not sure about nectar though

do check i believe its mustard used for ploughing in and cover for pheasants

they are still taking syrup, with this mild weather, they have not clustered so far

didnt think you could advertise for commercial gains?

no!!! no drones, so could end up with laying worker

i cant understand why it has to be 15 degrees for the apiguard to work as its in the hive on top of theframes with bees on, definatley more than 15 degrees in the hive!!

its mustard looks like OSR ,the bees are working the pollen lots

how do the police know? i thought visits to the GP were private!!!

i run many hives and trying a TBH this year, done nowt with it so they have enough stores for over wintering, will hope it over winters and then see next year. its a new mind set to get your head round, its fun to have a go at something different.

there is some idea that honey has not enough water content when trying to use it when its gone hard as rock, where-as sugar is more easily manipulated/taken to feed themselves in winter. i used to keep a super of honey on, they worked hard for it so they deserve it, was always my thought until...

of course, the site of waddling bees going in to the hive loaded with colourful pollen baskets is a wonderfull site every time

i agree i'm on 14 x 12 and others are on double brood and had to leave a super under the 14 x 12's as there are still too many bees for the one box, yipee, they may eat more stores, who cares as long as they over winter well. they all did last year.

prime swarm collected today 1st oct in nortrh yorks, un heard of

the aroma and taste are well worth the effort

are you sure its not damp getting in

will? cooling the wax down very slowly work, was the wax cooled down too quick and shrunk, dont really know just adding a thought.

costa coffee would cost a lot!

double brood are very easy to manage and 14x12 is straight forward, less swarms with both i believe as the queen has more room than one national, only problem with 14x12 is when checking frame sfor eggs and brood you have to be careful that the comb doesnt fall out due to the weight. more bees...

its bee crap for sure, a neighbour had his car, merc, covered in it, was not too pleased, was the weather not good? so they just came out the hive to crap and returned home?
