    Hard Drive Data Recovery

    If the hard drive will not spin up. i.e. you power up and you hear nothing (Not even a feint whining as the drive spins up) no CD on the planet will help you. But! A friend had a similar issue a while back and we retrieved the data. Provided the physical discs (Inside the hard drive case) and...

    Newbies need mentorship in Steyning UK

    Hope someone local can provide some guidance, you are in for a treat :) If you were closer I'd gladly help out. Might be worth getting in touch with your local bee keeping association too, there is usually someone who can pop over to assist. Worthing Beekeepers perhaps? Regards Tom

    The next panic - lead in honey?

    Exactly......lead never did me any harm, and I'm a duck. I've also got H1+H5N1 which makes me a flying pig with a really runny nose. Forgive the joviality but the longer in years I am on this earth, the less tolerant I feel of scaremongering born out of any government department who has not...

    Moving a hive?

    Agree with previous advisory posts. Moving a hive a few hundred yards tonight, hence this thread caught my attention, as previously suggested earlier in the thread I'll strap it, seal the entrance and carry it on a purpose made pole stretcher. The new location is prepared so it is simply a case...

    Number of Beekeepers.

    Urban beekeeping has increased dramatically as it is seen as eco friendly, may not account for an overall increase as possibly countered by the larger decline in the countryside. Urban-hive-home-installed-London-high-rise Some apiary they have there...nice suit

    Hive Alive BBC2 On Now!

    Re the program! I've collected many swarms this year and with few exceptions the program has heightened awareness of how good and important bees are. Nearly all the folks I've collected from have mentioned the program and proceeded to ask a thousand questions. Indeed, each collection has also...

    Any car experts out there??

    Sounds initially like the tyres are worn due to rear tracking being out of alignment, some 4WD independent suspension vehicles do have rear adjustable tracking. Other vehicles have fixed rear tracking i.e. no adjustment available as single / fixed axle.. Not sure about Kia's but! If the rear...

    Goodbye Mabel - it was a pleasure knowing you

    It is always sad when you lose one of the family. When I walk into a room at home I still expect to see our own Springer Spaniel and indeed I do sometimes see her out of the corner of my eye. Sincere condolences for your loss.
