Do you do section honey?

No stress to me and the time taken is the same as any other hive I look after. Anyway. Get’s you prepared for any hive that plays up like when the OSR ends, and imagine if my hives got stolen? Be a real shock to the thief! 🤣🤣🤣

Well can you explain how the frame I showed at 7 shows won 1st prize at every show which came from this apiary and why after 4 years of trying, this apiary was able to produce section honey. No other hives would entertain square sections.

Where’s the fun in that? 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

No. Somebody out of shot fitting aluminium guttering.

Or actual waste matter from cows.

Don’t care how acidic it is. The smell would be enough to put anyone off!!! :sick:

I was at a talk many years ago about beekeeping and the woman giving the talk had this, she diddnt think it a problem. Except when she spun the honey off the supers the smell was bad (yes smelt like dung!) and the whole lot got fed back to the bees. None of it smelt right for human consumption...

I read about that in Bee craft. I think the amount of time training and the lifespan of the bee made it unviable.

did you see eggs? It could be queenless.

Look up cold roof / warm roof. If you understand it that’ll cure any condensation problems.
