Hello, I am selling our double brood hive, sadly I am fully allergic!! There are a few threads on here about my treatment!! Anyway I am selling a double brood, top box, QX, bees, frames. I am in Norfolk, the hive is in Cambridge. I have a few extra bits if you need and also a built hive with...

Oo thank you davnig that is most helpful, yes I will save for when I am more able to go back to them after my treatment :/ You think best place is to sell on here in the sale bit? Or anywhere else? Thanks again. x

Hello Queens59, Thank you for your help, Ok I might do offers welcome :) and see where thet gets me. I have tried to go back to them, and failed :( it is such a shame as they are a great hive and work really well for us and we were really getting into them and splitting the hive etc. Then it...

Hello, Very regrettably I have to sell our lovely bees. I am still allergic to the sting, I do carry an Epipen, and am still on a course at the hospital, but am just too nervous to go back to them after the anaphylactic shock incident!!, and seems completely unfair to ask my partner to do all...

Hello, Thank you for your replies, I do try and check the barometer when we go and look, but like VM said it can be different each time, and depending on your bees, time of the year etc. I did read somewhere a certain pressure bees are happy at, but can not remember where I read it or what...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone observes their barometer reading when checking their bees? We usually go on what is going on outside at the time we would like to go and check them, general good weather = good bees, etc. I just wondered if anyone knows of the best or worst pressure (Mbars) to...

As far as I know you are not aloud to sell things from your allotment, I know that is the case where we are. However also similar case as with you we have a waiting list but there are people who have four allotments etc if you know Fred. You said he makes money from his pigeons you could argue...

Hello, This is our first year storing our frames so naturally we will have done it wrong, and hope to learn. At present they are in our downstairs shower room, where it is quite cold. As the shed is not an option. Anyway we now have, as we would have expected, ants! Some of the frames and...

Beekeeping sounds odd that they did not put you on the programme, and then gave two epipens, I would maybe get a second opinion. The programme I am on (and others I have spoken to) is brilliant, did you tell your GP you were a beekeeper? If I am going to see the bees I take a couple of...

RoofTops > I mailed you my details to pass to your lady if she wants to get in touch The Cumbrian > Yep mine is 0.3mg loaded Beekeeping > Are you allergic? If you were taking antihistamine I would be taking them an hour before hand not just before hand, if that is the precaution you are using...

chris600uk a) It makes good sense to carry an epipen if you are allergic. Like wearing a seatbelt if you are in the car! b) If you think you may be or are worried it makes good sense to go to your GP and ask for a test. They won't test you or refer you if you have not had a reaction, I do...

itma> thank you. We will do this :) So you do not think the queen will go in to the super we put at the bottom and lay in there at all? They should just move it all up? On risk of sounding like a complete beginner what does 'over wintering' mean? :eek: Thanks in advance.

Teehee!! "MAN MADE" :willy_nilly: Into the lions den - how did your son get on? First 'real' sting and all?

oliver90owner > Thanks i just wanted to check. itma > I like your thinking with Ely, leave it above the crown so they can take it back down, you recommend do this when? Autumn? August? Thanks

Hello, I was hoping to hear from anyone else who has been on the immunology programme and will be going back to their bees, this season of previously. I have completed my eleven week weekly jabs and three months of monthly jabs, I am now on three monthly jabs. I have now little reaction at the...

We did keep it for feeding, but seem to have missed that window!

This will probably mess their system up!! :smilielol5:

RAB, Thanks! Quick question! We are working our hive like this: top crown ---qx--- half brood brood would you suggest we put the ivy super between the two broods like this and move the qx down allowing that half brood to be a super again, once the bees have hatched and the Q can not get...

We have a super mostly full of ivy honey from last year, thoughts on putting on top of our brood and a half with a open crown board separating?

Hello, I have a brood and a half with a QX on top, on inspection yesterday they seem to be filling up fast, grubs up to the top! Advice on putting on a super with some wet frames and drawn frames on top with an open crown board on top to the QX to keep the warmth in. We also have a super mostly...
