    What's flowering as forage in your area

    Himalayan Balsam is really starting to flower well near to some of my hives.

    Sublimox vs Varrox safety

    Agree 100%. Have had both and there is no comparison so much so I just got rid of the Varrox. As for safety wear the appropriate mask and there simply isn't an issue.

    Slightly brown foundation

    43 years for me and agree 100% with Finman. Just use it and don’t get hung up about it. Also don’t just not buy it because it’s a little darker in colour.

    Spring must of been good, for my girls to travel four miles to the osr.

    Also they crystallise very quickly indeed. Had that problem this year. Trust me doesn’t matter what they do with it nowt will spin out in August.

    I have seen that too but I thought we were talking about extracting it in August? Doesn’t matter what the bees do with it it still won’t spin out in August

    If it were rape it would most likely have set in the comb in the latter half of June. I would have thought highly unlikely that you would be spinning it out in August

    I think Himalayan Balsam honey takes an absolute age to set.

    Adding a supplement

    Does this float or does it spread through the syrup like the emulsified thymol I use. If it does then we’ll worth a look

    Damson Melomel

    If it were an American book then I could but it's a British book and it has one of those pages but it doesn't specify what a tin is. Having never used a tin of anything in my Mead it stumped me especially as it seems mostly to be sold in plastic bottles and you can pick the volume you require ie...

    Damson Melomel

    That is indeed a good link. I looked but couldn't find anything so I'll go with 125ml. For such a brilliant book it seems odd that measurements such as half a tin is used rather than specific volumes.

    Damson Melomel

    I have recently bought Michael Badgers Mead and Honey Wines A Comprehensive guide which is excellent but as I now have damsons I thought I would try his Damson Melomel recipe on page 224. My problem is he talks about adding half a can of red grape concentrate but I don't know what half a can...

    Covenant restricting trade

    Mmm not sure how you work out it’s my own fault. Some people just cannot be placated and these people fall into that category.

    Covenant restricting trade

    Yes I have lost but I only asked if anyone else had experienced this. I’m not interested in making up and to be sure every dog has his day

    Covenant restricting trade

    Absolutely no way am I doing that. They even took photographs of my wife selling over the gate and cars parked on the drive. Maybe they should have just asked me to get people to park correctly.

    Covenant restricting trade

    On Saturday I received a solicitors letter from a neighbour who owns the drive over which I have right of way saying my honey and eggs for sale sign on the road is inviting people to trespass on his drive. They also found out that there is a covenant in my deeds cos it’s grade 2 listed that...
