    Raising your honey extractor

    Thanks for this. Yes I worried that they just wouldn't be strong enough. I need to find a DIY person I think.

    webinars

    The webinars have been great with still more good ones to come. Lots for all levels of experience as well including total beginners. They have really inspired me to selectively breed queens this year as I've been far too reactive in the past. I have a plan! Lets see how far that goes.

    Raising your honey extractor

    Yes a photo would be good. Working out how to tilt it securely is another problem. I've come to the conclusion I'm wasting an awful lot

    Raising your honey extractor

    It's like this. Not actually this one but I just did a quick google. 2/4 Frame Honey Extractor Stainless Steel With Cover Honey Outlet Legs – Vevor UK Actually maybe just screwing casters in the legs would be enough if they were big enough. I think even I could manage that!

    Raising your honey extractor

    Hi, I need to find a way to raise my honey extractor a bit. It's a 4 frame tangential one. At first I used it without legs on my kitchen table on top of a blanket but last year I used it on the legs but it was not quite high enough to fit over my buckets so I propped it up on books which was...

    Queens named

    I only named them once I had a few and couldn't quite keep the genealogy in my head. I'm going through the alphabet with the first names that come to me that end in an ee sound.

    Getting Going

    Have a look at the BIBBA website. There are lots of zoom webinars coming up and lots for beginners.

    6 frame nuc which can be divided into two

    So my long winded titles shows that I'm not sure what these are called but I want to buy a 6 frame nuc with two entrances that can be divided into two 3 frames nucs. You'll know what I mean. Do you know who makes these?

    Tom Seeley - Wild Bees & Varroa

    Yes I watched these. The one advantage of COVID I have found is all the Zoom talks that have been put on.

    Absolutely.

    Which type of bees?

    Hi yes they are still on the website as recordings. I missed the first one so am still on catch up. 4 down (I'm half way through number 3) 5 to go I think.

    National Bee Improvement

    These are worth watching. I'm going to bear all this in mind next year. It fits in well with my treatment free ethos I think. Webinars – BIBBA

    New and unknowledgeable

    I think many people would have similar luck to you if they would only try going treatment free.

    New and unknowledgeable

    I've had bees for six years and only treated in the first year. It is a management thing but it's just another beekeeping thing you need to work out for yourself. The joys of beekeeping! But treatment free is a whole lot less of a faff!

    Slightly brown foundation

    Great thanks. I won't rush to buy any more then.

    Slightly brown foundation

    Thanks all - yes I can see where it has come from through the wax exchange. But I wondered if anyone has any experience of whether the bees will or will not accept it.

    Slightly brown foundation

    Lesson learnt here. I've just opened packs of foundation (super and brood) I bought last winter and it's all slightly brown. I probably would have rejected it if I'd have actually looked at it at the time. I have enough foundation in theory not to need to buy any more this winter but if the...
