Just A quick update for those interested. I put these into a TB nuc with some feed and most of the bee's just kept in a ball in the corner and have not been banging along with comb building subsequently it has been hard to spot a queen. Checked yesterday after another week and found nice comb on...

I spoke to Morrisons head office a couple of months back about getting damaged bags put to one side, they ok'ed it and gave me contact details for our local stores, I wrote to them and was informed that it was a head office matter! After doing the e-mail run around for a couple of weeks I...

Just set them up with a nice feed of ambrosia, will have a good look for HM in a couple of days. If no joy in finding her, I am lucky as in I picked up a nice little swarm 3 weeks ago with a 2010 marked queen so they will get united to boost strengh.

Got the call this morning at 9.20 from a nice asian lady asking if I could deal with a big ball of Bee's that were attached to a small tree in her sister in laws front garden. After establishing exactly what I was dealing with (nice footbal sized swarm 3' from the ground :drool5:) I agreed that...

I've got a 4' TBH which has a main central entrace on one side (3 holes), on the opposite side I put in a entrance at either side (1 hole). The thinking was that I could run a nuc from one side of the hive or introduce a swarm that I had brought on in a top bar nuc. One great thing which I would...

You could try Leeds BKA they have their shop open on Wednesdays & Saturdays. Its at Temple Newsam. Check the website first for opening times though.

Looking at a bee on my veil and thinking "something looks funny about that bee" at that point I realized it was on the inside! She at the same time jumped over and pinged me on the cheek.

Paul made me a TBH which he adapted to my spec with a built in a viewing window and other tweaks, all in cedar. Top quality work at a great price, he is a great guy who used to produce all custom furniture so quality is not a issue. I could not reccomend him highly enough

It's just the extra hassle it involves, ordering at the wrong price and then trying to sort a refund + it's more work for the poor guy at WPF. I imagine he is under enough stress trying to sort out his new VAT status & website!

Many thanks for your quick reply,

Can anyone give me the name of the polish poly hive manufacturer? Done a search with no luck. I came across Weald Place who were doing poly nucs @ £25 and nationals @ £132 + £8 delivery. Was going to try a couple of nucs but they have now jumped to £30 + Delivery and then when you try and pay...

Colin many thanks for the nucs got them back and in position last night, All we need now is a bit of sunshine etc to set them on their way. Paul
