    14 x 12 hives....is it such a problem

    I've had 14x12 and standard nationals for years. Personally prefer the flexibility of the standard national but tend to run down on double brood. Very easy to make splits, nice size for queens here in sunny London and easy for swarm control. However that said we have one site with only 14x12...

    Quick way to fill up small jars

    Thank you all, some great ideas there. Would love the swienty but doubt very much I can justify this to the Mrs. Those pumps seem like they might do the trick and are nice and cheap so worth a try. Thanks again. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

    Quick way to fill up small jars

    Hi all, Need to fill up hundreds of small 1oz jars as gifts. I did this last time using a jug and was painfully slow. The normal tap on a honey bucket is not really suitable for just small jars. Any suggestions please? Thanks. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

    VAROMOR- Any good

    The description says it runs by heating a solution using a Gas Canister so no battery power required.

    Stampede in feeder drowning bees is this normal?

    I've found the ones I ordered from thornes this year much worse. In comparison to the ones from previous years a lot more drowned bees. I assume a manufacturing change. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Maisemore Apiary Poly NUC - Disk Q Excluder

    Maisemore Apiary Poly NUC - Disk Q Excluder

    Hi, Just a FYI. Having purchased a number of new Poly Nucs from Maisemore it became apparent the queen excluder entrance on the supplied entrance disk is too small. Does not allow workers through let alone the queen. Unfortunately Maisemore although acknowledging the problem refuse the...

    Modified Snelgrove ll

    Hi, Just interested to know Jimmys Mum. Did the bees swarm off the emergency cell? Thanks.

    swarm

    Hi. I would leave only one unsealed cell marked on the frame with a drawing pin, Especially as you will have the old queen as backup. Maybe better to check again in four days and destroy any new queen cells created. O yeah also do it early tomorrow in case tomorrow is the day they decided to...
