The word was "Unconfirmed" As in 'suspected' 'heads up' etc with clarification on 'confirmed' information, And it did lead to a witch hunt of the original poster. Yes, extremely unsavoury. Itld: "Alerting others in the area when you find it helps them get an early handle on what might be...

Rumour? Fact : there were 26 colonies destroyed and more found the following month. Making people aware there could be a problem is to be welcomed. ITLD Transparency - yes, if only - some day. People should not think there is a stigma, as said it can happen to anyone.

Good to know you appreciated the "heads up" and the man doing that wasn't lambasted and pilloried like BBG was when he did it on here causing DanBee and Hallshoney for two, to behave poorly and open threats made on this forum without hindrance. Personal interest versus Bees' interest, not hard...

Thanks for the information Finman We now mostly cover OMF until they build up to a strong colony

She may need to rethink that part - they're going to inject you with adrenaline so keeping you calm and immobile is the opposite to the treatment?? :cool:

Buy Ambrosia and give them some good stuff. Get together with some other beekeepers or you local association and buy bulk. Ambrosia doesn't ferment. Much simpler and the bees will thank you for it. Sugar syrup is old hat!

Back leg on a 2/3" block and use the red one (or any you fancy) on this page: http://www.cheftools.com/Bowl-Scrapers/products/1671/ Takes a few minutes. :cool:

No, that's cwch! Beanwood I use Tea Tree oil to dab on the sting immediately - stops it v quickly and an antihistamine if i really itches. Only taken one this season though and had a few stings. Tea Tree seems to stop the swelling - I always carry it in my top pocket.

Thanks, take it three days old for the larvae means three days after they turned into larvae?

They are 'hostile' - watch you and fly up at your hand if you move too quickly across the hive. No stings though, just land on your hand and 'get up on their toes'. They hardly follow any distance now. The amount of drones in one is spooky. :eek: yet they have piled the supers?

Hi I have two hives who have had a Queen, Queen disappeared, refused to lay and one has a Queen with a deformed wing, that has also now disappeared. I am thinking to unite them with two hives that have come from a nucleus. One of the Queenless ones has a huge population and an awful lot of...

Come to think about it, I think I had dismissed them because they looked a bit flimsy. That seems to have been borne out by Polyhive's unfortunate experience. Thanks for the pointer! :)

Hi, as a matter of interest, where did everybody see the advertisements for these poly Nationals please.:)

Ah, yes! Thank you, had just reread and see it clearly - must be the fresh air. :)

Hi Finman, Would you please explain that more clearly. Didn't understand the bit where you say: "When the nuc has a capped brood farme, give it to the big hive and take from it again a frame of emerging bees." Be gentle! :) Out to get stamps so look in a while.

Just do as you're told. ;)

In short: Put Not suitable for infants under 18 months. on the label. :rolleyes: This is NOT a requirement. :cool:

JAllen "last week lots of bees had a quick look to day only a hand full left not fun plenty of stores left just no bees" Lost mine exactly the same way last week. Hivemaker asked if they had been tested for Nosema Ceranae. - I have returned from NHS with a microscope and am now going to get...
