I have asked this question on another forum, and got the same reply, I guess bees are like italians and shut up shop for a months summer holidays:icon_204-2:

Thanks Teemore, weather was good to be fair, nectar and pollen on the other hand were poor, I had to feed a bit, inspections were at least every 6 days. I even had my mentor go tru the hive for me, to rule out a queen present, does a swarm leave with the queen when she goes to mate? It could...

I have two hives, a top bar and a commercial, both having issues with queens for some time. TBH: Found the queen dead on the floor two weeks ago, they made queen cells, capped, so tinned it back to just one, hatched ten 10days ago, so left at it. Commercial: it has been queenless for 4 weeks...

I aint no expert. I had similar to that myself, one of the hives was so laid back it was unreal, only ever used water mist to get them off the top bars when closing up, that hive went mental last week, chasing me right back to the car, and two would not go away, 10 minutes later I had to flatten...

did you use a smoker at the time.

you are correct about the fastest growing economy, but who benifits from it, not the paye worker. Unemployment is down due to departments playing with figures. love your 'not unrelated article"

we cant afford our country as it is now, let alone add the northern 6 counties, I firmly believe if the north was given a choice to join the south it would be a big fat get the ----, religious devides aside, anyone north of the border would be mad to vote to join the sinking ship that is ROI. I...

Like hell are we happy, after both votes went against the elite the scarmongering started about home bad it was going to be, and the sheep followed with the opposite vote the next time. The same scaremongering is happing in England, 120billion lost from the stock market, I ask who lost that...

fair play, always nice to get the first out of the way, I went today to mark my queen, I could have put lipstick and eye shadow on, she was very calm, she was bloody dead on the floor of the hive.:hairpull:

checked on two hives I requeened (mated) on Thursday, TBH found the queen straight away, running around a frame, so happy out with that one, check next week and she should be laying. Hive two a commercial single brood, couldnt find the queen, and didnt push it as the rain started, but heard a...

35lbs, good going there, most beekeepers local to me are struggling to hit 10lbs, I got 7lbs myself from osr, happy with that as it was a small nuc in april. the other hive didnt produce anything other than what they ate, (its been re queened tomorrow), what end of the country are you in was it...

visit to the apiary, for nothing more than a look, found my bee shed had been broken into over the weekend. Had visions of all my spare equipment and wood tools been gone, the only thing they took was my archery bow and the quiver with arrows. scum bags...:mad:

if your and way handy with timber they are very easy to make, loads of plans available on the net, my only advise is make sure its 4foot long at least. about 33 frames, I transferred 10 frame commercial into one 2 weeks ago, they now have 18 frames, with 10 frames containing brood.

Id spend less money if I was in the pub. and Id be home more often
