Hi, can anyone tell me what their local association does in terms of getting their annual accounts verified / signed off. My association has charitable status and has a turnover of just under 20k. Most of this is generated from sales to members from our bulk buying scheme. For years we have...

Just had Freeman & Harding on the phone telling me they were not going and cancelling my jar order and refunding me. Also told me a decision is imminent as to whether the event is taking place due to the winter weather. They need to decide early as overseas traders will be setting off soon.

Has anybody got a 30-40 question quiz that I could use please. Preferably with a few pictures and stuff. A link that I could download or a dropbox thing would be easiest, many thanks. Pete

This time about the IYB 2017 that they just hosted at our expense. As an association chairman I have had 2 letters and an e mail from various parties clearing things up and putting their side...................

Does anyone on here supply their honey with a barcode label so the shops can scan them on their EPOS systems. If so do you just buy some small self adhesive stickers, if so where from and how is the barcode derived. Many thanks

There is an advert on Gumtree for 3 complete colonies in Derbyshire, £190 the lot, advert is only an hour old. Just search Beehive and it will appear.

Worked really well !

Beekeeping teaches you many things but without doubt one of the biggest things it has taught me is patience. I had a queen emerge 1/5/16, verified at the car boot hive session in the afternoon. I have checked on the 25/5 and 4/6 for brood and seen none. I remained patient having done the sums...

Heard yesterday that the BBKA hives at Stoneleigh have EFB and the general husbandry assessments this weekend have been rearranged. Have I missed it on here or is it just tosh.

Just seen an advert on a beekeeping facebook page for overwintered nuc'c with 4-5 frames of brood, £170 each, posted today. I might be wrong but shouldn't a healthy overwintered nuc be in a full brood box with supers and giving a crop by now..........mine are ! There are lots of swarms about...

What are you guys doing re winter treatment ? Each year our association do a demo day, which this year is planned for the 12th of Dec, whereby we demonstrate to our members how to administer apibioxal and distribute kits to do it. In the past with oxalic people took the kits away and usually did...

I have a pair of wild ducks that have been using my pond all year, they come and go when it pleases and now and then get some food from me in the form of fishing pellets. They have had 2 clutches of young, 14 first time of which 4 survived and eventually flew, 10 second time of which none...

Had a non beekeeping friend with me who took some photos, he then sent me this, words are his not mine.

Probably obvious but not too me. I have acquired a warmer cabinet with a light, fan and a digital temp display. I have set it to 47 and it runs quite nicely but it keeps bleeping all the bloody time. What am I doing wrong. Thanks Pete
