Same. Was really hoping for a decent amount of OSR this year as there is so much near my hives. What a shame.

Funnily enough I've just heard one for the first time in years.

I had their kit as a student on farm placement. We had a difficult calving in a field in torrential rain. Out of me, the other student and the vet, I was dry - and not from lack of participation.

I have a Sheriff suit too... The Simon the Beekeeper ones are as good as the Apiarist one and I can't recall being stung through it. The Bee Pro looks very warm.

My go to waterproof for land based wet weather plus longboating, if you forget the breathable claim...

Not as a matter of course but if I need to to it to see inside them I sometimes will with play cups.

I think the top is a couple of cm too wide for BS national so the frame will just slide down inside rather than resting along the top. Might still work...

I'm meaning more in terms of a holder which can be used in a restaurant for people to help themselves to. Thanks though.

Hopefully they eventually breed...

Did you like the bit with 'my' PhD student?

Bigger question is whether there's a better option. I'm doubtful.

Curious as to what these two might be. TIA

I wonder if Finman's remarks about temperature affecting yield might be relevant here?
