Sorry or I'm being daft but isn't the extractor for getting honey out, not for melting wax?

Well what can I say.....free is free.!

Somebody down the road is was having new windows fitted today, there was a pile of old DGU, bloke said "they go straight in a skip help yourself" happy days.

You mean to say every you read on the Internet is not always correct! And I thought that Russian girl really loves me, and the African man is sending me $100000000. That bit is true, isn't it?

That's the stuff.. Last for years, in fact it out last exterior ply. 18mm for the boxes and 12mm for the base and lids (double laid with insulation in).

I couldn't agree more. I'm in first year and I've gone from 1 to 3 hives and a nuc. I've been making kit like there's no tomorrow. I've been using OSB, it doesn't look the nicest but with a coat of paint its not bad. The bonus is that I can make a base, a lid and two brood boxes for under £30...

I bought a Charnwood last week the saw/motor is good but the rip fence is a bit off. I got it second hand for less than £200 but I wouldn't be happy if I had paid full price.

Great hive building skills I'm well impressed. What size wire did you use for the frames, I bought some that I thought would do from the garden centre the other day but its to thick.

Hello from lutterworth

Wouldn't it be better to get an air gun and go and help the farmers out with some pest control. Nothing tastes better than wild rabbit.

I'm making a smoker out of one for smoking quail.

New hive built today, already for action stations. Built it out of old external ply I found in the shed so its a bit rough but I have to say I'm quite pleased for my first hive.

Arh my mistake.

Just out of interest how does the supermarket take the honey? Do you have to process and pack it? Do they supply labels etc. that's the bit that would worry me.

First hole was cut for a porter escape, new hole not quite 100% but close. We will see what happens.

Well I've had another look at them today and they are increasing in quantity but have not moved into the nuc yet. I've cat a larger hole in the nuc base and will have another look later in the week. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fe9UNPxR59w&feature=plcp

How small is small area? I work sometimes for a farmer that grows thatching straw and we harvest it in the old fashioned way. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GiDe_2OVxw8

Well yeogi75 came over and we had alook and put a nuc that I built on top of the super to try and get the bees to move up.

I spotted one here the other afternoon.
