Thinking of buying one, anyone got one and are you pleased with it.

Does anyone know when the sales hall open the doors on the Saturday.

I have a small single hive with virtually no stores, believe they have been robbed out by the strong hive next door. I am planing to feed these fondant all winter to get them through. Is there a chance of them surviving the winter or am I wasting my time?

I have a hive where the farmer is about to spray the field with roundup and gallup hi aktiv a systemic herbicide, should I move them while he sprays, keep them sealed in for half a day while he sprays or just leave them where they are. The spray will be about 15 feet away. Peoples experiences...

Does anyone know the dates yet? :gnorsi:

Having moved some of my bees to the HB (tons of it around here), how long will it take them to fill a super?

Have had a bait hive out in the garden for about a month now, but instead of attracting bees it is now attracting wasps. There has been no sign of a bee for about a week. Yes the weather has gone colder/wetter. So should I give up now and wait for next year.

Is it normal to feed the bees to get them to draw the super foundation out or do you just leave them to it.

Have other people found this. Swarm arrive yesterday, settled in, checked this moring and they have all gone. Can only think it was the size of the box. Have put a full size bood box in its place now. Some bees are about and showing interest but I doubt any swarm will come as it's alot cooler...

If you ordered a nuc in December, wouldn't you expect to have it by the begining of June or by the end at the latest if a confident bee keeper was supplying it?

Not something I would normally takle but the chap where I keep my bees has two wasps nests in his roof. You can see them pouring in and out. Whats the best way to takle them. I thought wait until night and then see if I could get the whole nest in a bin liner. Hopefully getting all the wasps in...

If you have a laying worker and you give the bees a frame of fertile eggs will they produce queen cells and rear a new queen. Caught swarm 3 weeks ago, eggs,lava,sealled brood all being made into drones. Shook bees through queen excuder no queen seen. For those who say how do you know if there...

Having been bee keeping for about 1yr you would have thought I would know how to zip up my suite properly. Well obviously not, whilst going through an angry hive yesterday the little bu..ers managed to find their way into my vale. Stings to my throat and ear will make me double check in future...

No laying workers yet but queenless for over a month, would they now accept a brought in mated queen or would they kill her. If so should I try to raise another from eggs. :banghead:

This Thursday will be two weeks after the new queen should have hatched. Thought I would just have a quick peek today but after lifting the suppers off and the bees went mad quickly put it back together. They also followed me for about 70 meters. A: Could it be that the virgin queen is not...
