Hi I am too, not sure how to find me, was at Brine leas school, and have a picture of my old Ford on my profile pic, if that helps! Beware, if you start on there, it is very addictive, was addicted for a few months on there about 4 hours a day, until about 1am usually. So limit your time, I...

Does this get rid of honey, or do you need to wash it first?

Hi Thanks for all the replies, I will have a look at the other thread. The wax, is all either cappings, brace comb (Clean), or super come (wet), so bar honey it is clean. I have come into alot of supers and other equipment (but the supers contain frames with wax) and we are wanting to start...

Hi Well I will try to keep this short as I have been known to ramble on in the past! hehe I have a keen interest in Traction engines, rollers, road locos, anything Steam, and mainly driven on the road/Field. Trains don't do it so much as you are confined to set routes, then again, it is...

Hi Me and my dad made some, but most are Thornes Seconds or home made ones from a chap we know who gave up a year or two back. The straps were as a couple were leaning, but we allways have a strap on each hive, just to be safe. Something I think is worth doing for the 5 secs it takes to do...
