I say crack on and good luck to them. If I ever sell any quantity honey i have an ambition to a ) have a thread started by someone who is utterly traumatised by the price and b ) sell out. This was sparked after someone showed me a post by an Instagram influencer who was peddling bath...

few things there to keep me quiet for a bit, i knocked up a couple of sensor pcb desings to go in a hive so they are there for when oppotunity arriese to have them made cheeply see quite a few open source monitor projects but most of them seem to have fizzeled out

looks like the £485 gets you an extra heating eliment and thermostat in the lid

most things arn't hard to make just they normally arnt worth makeing. control cuircuits are easy to do now very easy no mess no fuss with the likes of arduinos, you dont even have to get it 100% right first time as hadware would all be the same just minor programming changes. modern power...

well i put some flood lights outside, changed glowplugs on the car and looked at the nucs i made. i had a load of osb for makeing shelves and storage boxes so i got over keen one evening a while back and made 12 nucs. thinking they would be good for bait hives, ill try them as such but i...

Airflow is always a tricky subject. It never flows how you’d expect most of the time it dosent even flow but tumbles anyway. I have thought about laser scanning an entire hive and going begging where I used to work and running CFD on it. But then realised it was competly pointless as...

hive monitoring is something that appeals to me altho i plan at some point to build my own monitors, ive doen quite a lot of automotive tuning and it's all about data. to a point it's log everythign you can think of then work out what you want later, on small scale storage of data is basicly...

they have got all the data they know, i think that if you know they are looking at you your allready stuffed. my personal view is if your sole trader just insure well and that'll be fine once your employing someone if you own a house go LTD

that is the kind of daft idea i would have and do, have done simalar before

Hobbies are a strange one for me now the day job has killed my intrest in my old hobbies, used to be metalbashing building machenes and cars. But spannering / repairing and building farm equipment and dealing with farmers has truly knackered that. So flat out into bees , house bashing and...

IMO farmers are a pain to deal with, I see and deal with them day in day out. They are a lot easyer to deal with off you know them or have been referred to them by another farmer. If they think your making a pound they want 2 tho, I would be worried about spray schedules ect as they get...

I think small jars would be better at show people like to wander about and buy some stuff they aren't there to buy anything specific but have money to burn sell them light expensive things so they can carry more of them. move learnt the hard way not to compete on price at one point I struggled...

May as well buy the Ifor a set of brake cables. The metal spiral in the cable rusts, expands annex grabs the inner, They are sods for it off left on grass

No price is a rip off. You put your good to market at whatever price you like and you will ether sell them or not. The people who chirp rip off do so regardless of price anyway. If they actually buy it your really screwed tho as no one else will

Up and over doors I found are best attacke with 25mm insulation boards and expanding foam

My expriance of workshops is more agri but barns are manageable to horrible in winter. Cold and drafty can be tolerated with enough layers but add a damp floor to that and you want out. in my barn I found draft proofing and insulation was the order of the day it has made a massive difference...

the only canister mounted torch with an inbuilt igniter i have ever found to be any good is a rothenberger i have the superfire 2 yes its expensive compared to other canister mounted torches but it works, yes the canisters are expensive compared to others but there is more in them and...

ive got a lot to learn about vaping hives, we have 1 it really needs doing but have no kit yet. i can give some input on powerign things tho, Wet lead acid batterys are very poor batterys for this sort of application, your typical car battery won't tolerate it at all they are good for...

thansk for all the input, im just used to things that can be handed actaully mattering how they are handed, so now i've just duffed them all together and they are mostly the same

Well at least I don’t feel quite as daft as I did asking the question. The frames are for a Lang poly Hive (Lyson ) They are a Hoffman self spacing frame. There are no grooves on the side bars so as far as I understand atm there is no set convention And they chould go any way as long as...
