Hi. I was also new here last year and also asked what to me were some pretty serious questions but which were to the old hands here run of the mill things. The beauty of this site is that they dont make you feel like you're asking a silly question when they reply. There are not many days...

Hi! :D I'm also on allotment/bee high. I got my allotment on Wednesday and went from no animals allowed to we'd love to have hives on the plot by this morning :party:.

Thank you for your quick replies.

Hi, Can anyone please give me some advice. Checking the frames in last years supers I see that in a few isolated cells that some of the pollen appears to have developed a slight white mould. Should I replace these with foundation or will the bees clean these out as they come across them...

Hi, I'm hoping that one or more of you can give me some advice please. Approximately two weeks ago I found two unsealed QCs containing royal jelly together with some play cups across several frames. I removed the play cups, moved the Queen into a spare nuc, and left the two QCs, I checked...

I'm sorry but someone else beat you to it.

Thanks.

What do you mean by "bruise" PH? I have similar problem?

Go for the marker pen as opposed to the stuff in a bottle. I tried that first and as Jon states I got ink on the queen's wing (very easy to do!). I have since moved to the marker pen and find that much easier and less messy to use.

Clover is very easily grown from seed. I bought mine from ebay, scattered it all over and it was coming through within the week.

My own recent experience of Sherriff suits is that they are BIG. I am 6' 3" and have purchased other suits claiming to fit up to 6' 6" and which didn't. With this in mind I ordered a larger suit from Sherriffs and found it to be too big for me. I would suggest that you go for the EL one. You can...

Hi, I wonder if someone can please give me some advice. I found two unsealed Queen cells yesterday, both will Royal Jelly, and both on the same frame. I did an AS moving the existing Queen into a Nuc with a frame of brood, two of honey, bees from two more frames and two frames of foundation...

Yes Admin, it was too big. The specs are: EEEL: Height: 6’ 5½” / 197 cm Chest: 54 - 56” / 137 - 143cm Inside Leg: 38”/ 96.5cm

As the title states I have new (worn once) all in one Sherriff S36 Apiarist suit for sale. It arrived yesterday and was the wrong size, Sadly I did not check the label prior to wearing it and checking my hives. It now has three small spots of propolis on the front and so I can't exchange it for...

What model is it?

I'm considering running one of my hives using a double brood box to see how it compares to the other on a single brood box only. I'm particulary interested to see how they both over winter. Both are nationals. Do I add the second brood box on top of or underneath the present box? I have seen...

Have you tried contacting local pest control companies to let them know that you would be interested in a swarm? My local firm tell me that they have trouble finding homes for them and are happy to give them away to anyone that supplies their details.

Thanks for the info.

Yes.
