    Filling a super

    Roughly at this time of year with the nice weather, how long would you expect a strong colony to take to fill a national super? How many litres roughly in one full ten framed national super? What time of year do you extract, how often? Please don't say how long is a piece of string or...

    Cheap extractor

    I am in a similar position to you, also looking to buy an extractor. Don't want to fork out for a £600+ extractor for a small scale garden operation... For the use it would get I'm thinking something like the link you posted would be suitable? Would also like people's opinions on this.

    Moving a hive now?

    Thanks for the replies on this. I think I will move it gradually using some of the ideas posted, hopefully they can find their way back easy enough this way.

    Moving a hive now?

    That's actually a pretty good idea. Think I'll wait for the cold spell if there's one due then. Thanks all, much appreciated.

    Moving a hive now?

    I intended to move a hive about 10 metres from where it is now, but I've obviously not been quick enough, as it's been pretty warm here and they've been out and about.
