    And the time. I send an item for repair (under a paid for postage warranty) via UPS three weeks ago. It is tracked and has not arrived yet. UPS blame Brexit and border controls.

    Small-scale and large-scale beekeeping - what's the difference?

    The right number of hives in the right place - 20 in a row. Ease of access - must be able to drive up to the colonies with paraphanalia.

    I use a small generator with my Sublimox. Do about 150 colonies in about 8 apiaries. Does the job perfectly. I have an old golf trolley to wheel along the row of hives. This is the one I have Clarke G720 2 Stroke Petrol Generator - Machine Mart - Machine Mart

    I'm taking my first bbka module exam.

    EHO inspection!

    Good trolley

    Carp barrow is perfect. One wheel. Loads of space and dismantles. Picked one up for £10 at a bootsale and is left permanently at one site where I can't drive up to the hives.
