    field beans

    I was speaking to one of my farmers the other day and that she will be growing OSR next year in one particular field. The crop is for Bio Fuel and the variety for that has longer flowers which she says are too long for honey bees to access the nectar.

    Design technology A-level design ideas

    Carp fishing trolley £10 from boot sale. Perfect for the job and dismantles for easy transportation. Don't think I could have designed anything better.

    bees and sheep

    I've got two sites with sheep wandering around the hives in reasonable sized fields and never had problems. I had a third, as in the photo, with barriers and they were fine though the lambs did sneak under and were occasionally stung. Some of the larger 'sheeps' as Gabriel called them pushed the...

    Honey Super Frames Advice

    Start on 11s, then 10s then finally 9s. 9s are virtually always the heaviest and 11s the lightest (as a full super)

    Thermodynamics question

    There is going to be a massive reduction in the availability of properties to rent. From 2025 all new tenancies, and from 2028 all rented properties must have an EPC of A,B or C.

    Government Response to Petition

    I am actually going to say the petition is a waste of time - where will it really get us? The public don't read the honey labels, including Waitrose Dutchy Organic Honey and Rowse Organic Honey. I take jars of these on talks and the public really don't know they are from foreign lands until it...

    Bee Wagon recommendations

    I paid £12,500 for it five and half years ago when it had 120K miles. I think it is still worth £10.5K and is in a really nice metallic dark blue. I won't be selling - to hard to replace despite the fact it is not ULEZ compliant and I am 300m away from the London border

    Bee Wagon recommendations

    I love my Hilux Mk7 that will reach 150,000 miles this week. Top Gear couldn't break one. Even with a Mountain Top cover I can get 18 supers in the back , probably double if I take it off. In five years it has cost me £300 on top of regular servicing for a front spring and rear shocks. You can...

    Wild/Feral Survivor-Thrivers: Naturally Selected Resistant Bees.

    Just wondering. If bees do develop a resistance, do varroa also develop to counter this resistance? Asking for a friend

    Still significant mite drop after OA

    My parents found it incomprehensible that after night shift we went to the market early house and had several pints. Would often come home with a ridiculous amount of mushrooms.
