A year to the day and they will be back in stock. https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/diy-deals/parkside-metal-shelving-unit/p54703 But this time: No longer powder coated, now galvanised. Instead of two for £50, it is one for £39.99 I am not entirely convinced at that price

Unless you have been proven to have a severe anaphylactic shock to bee venom, then an EpiPen or similar is not warranted ( and anyway not available). https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ccr3.5303 Nevertheless, awareness of the potential danger is sufficiently important that in our...

Very swift response from ApiManager staff on this issue. Seems that there are compatibility problems with Firefox. I am finding no compatibility problems with Brave. ApiManager seems to fulfil most of my requirements. There are a few niggles, but relatively minor. As it is free for up to 20...

This has not been an issue in the five years that I have been using Beetight

...but iOS only I believe

I used to use Beetight, but the developer cannot be bothered to update it to function with the latest verison of Android. Now trialling Apimanager (ApiManager - Apiary and Beehive Management Software For Beekeepers ). Seems OK but have intermittent issues logging in from various PCs. Never a...

Zonda and the Alize. Alize for day to day, Zonda for hot weather. Last summer there were days when I could not see what I was doing for sweat pouring off my forehead. Currently I use a seriously cheap STB tunic for nipping out to the hives to check them. I keep a separate cut price Bee Basics...

Bought a couple. They seem well made and comparable to bigger brand versions. Not used them in anger yet. Reasonably close fitting, but I am told that the 'Professional' version is a lot looser. Each one comes with both a fencing and a round veil, so useful to have a back up.

You need to wait for the Three Counties Show in June: Royal Three Counties Show 2022| Three Counties Showground when the BKAs representing the three counties (Herefordshire, Worcstershire and Gloucestershire) will have a stand. Herefordshire's turn to take the lead this year.

I have had one of those for years. You may find that the most effective way to use them is to go round once, during which the weeds wilt but do not burn because of their water content, and then go round a second time a few days later after they have dried out. They take a few minutes for the...

Buy cheap - buy twice, Or in my case buy several cheapos before saving money by buying the more expensive Rothenberger.

Each to his own, but I find that applying 'raw' (not 'boiled') linseed oil containing around 5% to 8% of beeswax, to new cedar keeps it looking golden brown for years (and helps preserve it). Best applied on a warm / hot day but can be done anytime.

I normally rely on Simon the Beekeeeper, but just at the moment these people are offering 60% off: Bee Proof Suits | Bee Suits | Wildlife Homes (use SIXTYOFF at the checkout) No idea how good they are but I have ordered one

For what it is worth... 'Bee Proof Suits' : Bee Suits | beeproofsuits are currently offering 60% off their suits. You need to use 'SIXTYOFF' at the checkout. I have no idea what the quality is like, but I have ordered one and will report back. Given the deep discount and the limited range of...

The efficacy of lithium in treating varroa has been attracting extensive discussions in France (Connexion) A relevant drawback may well be the toxicity of lithium, in sufficient quantities, to humans.

As you will see in the references I made, LiFePO4 is itself a lithium ion chemistry, but is only one of several lithium-ion chemistries. I would also recommend reading this book: Bottled Lightning: Superbatteries, Electric Cars, and the New Lithium Economy: Amazon.co.uk: Fletcher, Seth...
