He says you need to swipe left on the task, then you can mark it as complete and will disappear and move to the completed list

Hi Andy, I’ll pass this on to my husband. He’s just released ‘Bee2 (bee squared) beekeeping assistant’ as a new and improved app going forwards but whilst not updating bee plus will still be maintaining it for the time being. Glad you’ve been enjoying it so far 🙂

This thread just helped me make my decision who I’m buying my first mated queen from!

I’m after a good quality child’s beekeeping suit - ideally to fit a tall 5 year old and last so 6/7 year old size. My daughter is desperate to see the bees but thought I’d ask after a second hand one before buying new. Thank you!

Today I did my first inspection and transfer of Nuc to hive after a nearly 4 year break from beekeeping. It’s good to be back!

Could MAQs be used now? Have a strong colony that is near rape fields but saw several DWV bees on first inspection yesterday

I like the maisemore ones, have never used paynes to compare though. No sticking of roof to box, no built in feeder to mess with, buy the ones with the 14x12 eke, come with a miller style feeder, no issues. Really like the fact that you can buy extra brood boxes\supers\travel screens\floors...

Ted Hooper is good as well, quite in depth but lots of info

:welcome: There is loads of great info on here, get yourself a couple of good books to read as well

Collected two swarms on Monday, one from my Bosses' garden, the other from a neighbour of the person who's field I used to keep bees on before he sold it. One in a tree, other other hanging off a garden table, only casts but in nucs and doing well. Just word of mouth and very happy to get them...

Hose pipe in the garden

PM'd

Checked swarm from last Thursday - queen started laying - only eggs but saw her as well so happy. Full inspections of the rest tomorrow hopefully as weather meant to be good

How aggressive is aggressive? Are there certain things you are looking for as I know some keepers have bees that make life nearly impossible compared to those that just like to follow and are a bit more feisty?

The only thing I have experienced so far in my first year beekeeping has been varroa and associated DWV. Despite all haves having the same treatment one seemed to be failing and I'm sure it would have died out without help.

Noted ta So to delete duplicate hives\apiaries\inspections swipe to the left on item to be deleted and a red delete box will appear. If you want to move hives between apiaries you don't need an ID code - just tap the photo for that hive - and at the bottom of the list is the "Choose new...
