I to like to Snellgrove but l never modify,but l feel Q marking a necessity,going to a 22 frame colony with an unmarked queen fills me with tribulation,my old mentor long ago said,why do you bother.but when l get 2 bc and 2s full my nerve cracks.l don’t think l know they will swarm.but now in...

This sounds like paradise.

It is Devon,l remember as a boy part of Devon on the map was surrounded by Somerset,or was it Dorset,and it is rough,when l take the stagecoach to Wiveliscombe an extra shotgun looks back.but to compensate that area holds some of the most talented bk,s in the whole country.l think Snellgrove...

The loss is great,and why is nearly always the question.Talking should be the way but it needs huge patience and care,on topic,l use a cold knife but after 1k frames my wrist started to give out,l went to a fork,dimwit that l am l’d never worked out that you raked with it.when you filter it...

Narrow lanes,l think they teach you to pray,a. tank commander rtd lives down just down the road,ln conversation I learnt he isn’t worried about narrow lanes but then he never got stuck,last year a enterprising man in front of me directed ten cars into a field.Devonian,s have lots of money or...

Samson used a jaw bone,Schwarzenegger used a can pull,l wasn’t there but l think the first P let go of a sword,neats foot oil bees hate nfo.coat the villain with nfo and watch him run.l coated leather with nfo,on bellows.l had to replace it.l do love the run up to Wiveliscombe through the...

No no no.much too fiddly.you must use mouth to mouth.this is what do.but do not let her sting you inside the nose.l take stings like a man or woman with out a whimper.l think some times of that terrible car accident when a bee went in the car and five people died.a sting inside of the nose takes...

A dear friend Lorain Stevens was advised by the powers that be to shook swarm.that was early spring,l think l remember twelve colonies,young brood destroyed,it was a disaster.end of May strong colonies last year it might have worked.l just offer this for new beekeepers.

Thanks l like to clear up completely.lt doesn’t decay and as an alkali it is still eleven on the test,l don’t know what it started out at.thanks for the help.planted fifty yellow flags to day.no good for honey,but always fascinated by them since a very young age.

Thankyou.l gave up on caustic l only did it once.Tesco are the best for soda.in the recent past Morrison went from 80p to £2.36.

A few years ago l boiled 800 frames in caustic soda,then in clean water,they came out very clean,the problem is the waste l still have it in tubs.looking for a neutraliser,you need a dry warm time to dry them,l used a car off to the scrapper.they say you should re nail,

That wind was surprisingly brisk.l often think a slightly different angle and much different result.l had vertical stacked poles blow over.

Keep up the good work
