Just checked both hives. Both DEAD!!. Done OA on February 2nd and everything was fine. First chance I have had to check them was today. Plenty of stores and one still in a cluster. One thing's for sure, I will NOT be using OA ever again!! Fact.

I have been looking into using/buying a 'normal' honey tangential extractor for my top bar honey extraction. I have searched high and low for info and the only video I can find is on youtube. The chap (in USA) who is using it bought a 'normal' 2 frame spinner and adapted it slightly for top...

This may be the wrong place to put this but it will only bee for 24 hours as this may go soon. On the Southampton Freecycle site there's some off cuts of Eco Therm insulation up for grabs. Silver backed 70mm. It is only available 'til Wednesday when it will go to the tip. If anyone is...

Had a friend call me and say his friend had a honey bee swarm in his summerhouse. 'Brilliant' says I. My first swarm. Whoopee. Mentally checking off the things I will need. Suit, wellies......... you know what I mean. Wait 'til later in evening. Drives what? 7/8 miles...
