Hi Graham I have just messaged you with my number

Hi Graham I’m in Burtonwood so probably a bit far for but you are welcome to go through my hives with me

Hi Graham, where in Wigan are you?

I only know about Gozo, from the film ghostbusters

Any old rubbish I can find, twigs leafs, lumps of slumgum, old Brocken up frames, bit of petrol lighter fluid a match and I’m away

Hi Andrew, do you have a price list?

Yes agreed majority of them I have got have been cast, had a few huge ones too, I have taken down my bait hives as I’m using them for swarms, but I can’t cope with many more, it’s starting to become a full time job keeping up with them

Well heather if you need a swarm drive up to Warrington, another two call today one for bees and the other for bumbles, but they are in a bird box so I took them away and rehomed them

So far this year I have picked up 16 swarms from people getting my number and calling, that doesn’t include 5 I couldn’t get to as they were inside the wall cavity via an air brick, has anybody else noticed this? my own hives are great with no signs of swarming at all, so I can’t fathom where...

Hedgerow Pete, was one of my favourite members, sage advice, brilliantly helpful, and have more uses for honey and wax than anybody I have ever met
