    Supercedure

    Got loads of brood frames but no brood wax left or and only super wax so cant cut it down for starters. Could build some frames and wire up with 4 wires and prewax upper part and transfer 1 frame from old hive but that's all i've got at moment. With any luck kieler mating hive will arrive...

    Extractors - which one?

    If only they would ship direct now - seem to only want to go via uk resellers now which sting you for £200 plus they get the vat back!

    Arnia Hive Monitor

    Shame mine are redundant in shed did you use them itma. To be honest they logged data but never came out with extra software that analysed some sound waves for something useful.

    motorized radial extractors

    Not sure if other people are finding the same. I'm finally in the position to buy an extractor and want the giordon inox one. Product code 103 basically going round in circles emailing them they say contact argi nova. It looks like clive has passed away so its being dealt with by another...

    Poly Hive supers

    I'm on swienty poly supers and had an issue if you put two many frames in (be it thornes seconds) that I've had two super cracked. At the moment there still usable but can't decide weather to switch to woodern supers as the bees do love them.

    STC 1000 thermostat

    Fair point I did scan it at speed sounds even better as im on 10l buckets already

    STC 1000 thermostat

    Sounds good and easy to process small volumes. If they are out again please mention it here incase I miss it, although the 25 odd 30lb buckets I've got would be a nightmare to transfer to 10lb only drawback but for new stuff wouldn't be an issue!

    STC 1000 thermostat

    Do the lidl jam makers have good enough temp sensors to control water temp?

    STC 1000 thermostat

    Likewise I struggled to begin with did you get the STC1000 from ebay the black and red version? If so they all look the same. One of the tips Id say is over on http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2804 they are high resolutions photo if you click on each photo and look you can...

    When to reunite

    Judging on what one colony was like last year I would tend to agree as the gene pool seemed to local mongrels. I have been told generation 2/3 does get better though. I already requeen every year so seems silly to waste her as she is a good little layer.

    When to reunite

    Probably not as 1st gen buckfast but will put her in a cage with 8 attendants as backup plan, as the queen that I AS was £40 and lays like the cappers. Time wise probably just enough time to get up to speed though, good point about transferring brood though forgetting completely about that!

    When to reunite

    I did an artificial swarm a few weeks ago (well technical it was pretty much a split as didn't bother moving hive side to side to equalise numbers as this queen is a very strong layer). Old queen 2013 queen brought aug last year is upto 5 frames of brood already and bees have backfilled all...
