Whole idea is its going to be a wet roof so I can wash down everything. Even designing a CIP SIP system. Steve

I'm just about to start building a new Honey Room and I want a floor that I can easily clean and doesn't get stained by propolis. Ideally I want something I can Jet Wash. Floors going to be approx. 9m square. At the moment I'm tending to some sort of resin. Thoughts Appreciated. SteveJ

Thanks I might try that. I'm buying 100kg a week at the moment. SteveJ

Just been to buy some sugar from Bookers. 50kg for £28. (£0.56/kg) Last year same place was 50kg for £20. (£0.40/kg) Which is basically a 40% increase from last year. Has anyone found anywhere cheaper? SteveJ

If there was no book list then I would expect to be reading every book on the subject I could get my hands on, but in this case there is a defined book list so I would expect the exams to be set and reports written using this book list. I know of one beekeeper who quoted something from a book...

It was module 6. I happen to have all the recommended books for module 6. I'm a bit of a book collector. If I where to buy all the books for module 6 alone it would cost £500 from Amazon. I found them by scowering second hand book shops and eBay, but to then be quoted another book that costs...

I took a BBKA module back in march. Unfortunately failed it, but I asked for the report which dually came back and basically said I need to put in more detail. Which is fair enough, but the report then went on to quote pages from books that aren't on the BBKA book list. Two of the books quoted...

Ok got my GH this weekend. Think I need to remove some of the Propolis from the lino floor in the Honey Room without damaging the lino. Anybody any tips. Steve

At the weekend I was tending my hives and the spray tractor drove past. It occurred to me that I'm registered on Bee Connected, but I hadn't received a notification. So it occurred to me. How many Bee Keepers have signed up and have been contacted about spraying? Please no rants about the...

Does anybody know of a supplier of 14x12 Correx Nuc Boxes? SteveJ

Thanks for that. I've got the BBKA guidance note. I was after a copy of the actual B.S. standard. SteveJ

Does anyone have a copy of B.S. 1372:1947 Standard for colonies and nuclei. Although it's now been withdrawn they still use it as a judging criteria at the Great Yorkshire Show. SteveJ

Do you have any wild colonies in the area? SteveJ

Old hive new foundation. This one wouldn't of fitted in a poly nuc. SteveJ

Picked up a lovely big swarm last Sunday. Just about filled my skep. So ran them into a commercial hive. The all went in. Went back yesterday to put some feed on them. Hive was empty and all the bees where hanging on the front of the hive. Any thoughts on what's wrong and why they don't want to...

Funnily enough I was in my own apiary the other day and when I arrived there was a swarm sat on a dock. So placed a skep over it while I did my inspections. While I was working I noticed a build up of bees on the front of one of my queenless colonies then it seemed to dissipate and the build up...
