I am selling my bees, 14 x 12 hives, supers and all of which have drawn comb and eggs / honey in most of the frames of brood. Does anyone have any idea of a price to charge. For a colony of bees with hive and one super? I am going to miss them terribly but I am moving 300 miles away to run a...

We are moving 300 miles and will be selling our seven colonies. The first two I have for sale are housed in 14 x12 hives mixture if cedar and treated soft wood). The hives are full of honey and brood. They are doing so well that I have put a super on, to give more space. Wax is drawn on the...

Does anyone know what the forage is like on the North Yorkshire moors? We are thinking of moving near Keld. There is no heather in the three mile radius of the house we are moving too and the fields are put down to sheep farming.

Does tat mean merging would be no problem? They would'nt fight?

Sorry should have said drone laying worker! Does this make a difference to my problem?

Hi I have a issue and I am not sure what to do for the best. I have a colony with a drone laying queen that I need to merge with a weaker colony, unfortunately I cannot find the drone laying queen. If I use the news paper method and merge will the two queens fight, or will the drone layer go...

Exactly! Text book to my way of thinking!

Depends on your bees. There are alternatives. I am pretty sure they would rather be misted or blown away than fumigated. Controversial stuff but it works for, that's all that matters ;)

Yes I agree veg, I reckon I lost a couple of pints of water today ! My wellies were swimming (not a pleasant thought). I just blew the bees out of the way, but had smoke to just make sure that I was covered in an emergency

Yes I am. Obviously inspections do not help, but they do not seem to take so long to start to calm down. Just my opinion and I am sure that others will disagree. But have doing the bee thing for several years and have seen a marked difference.

After several years of bee keeping I have decided that smoke causes more hassle than is gained. Advantages are that it calms the bees down, disadvantages are that the smoke fires them up an puts them back a week or so. Maybe I m lucky that my bees are very good, but smoke definitely makes them...

Yes I will Richard. I just do not understand the behaviour. It almost seemed like one of the colonies stirred up the other to trigger them to fly also. Has anyone else had this happen?

I had two swarms today within an hour of each other. By the time the second had left the original colony the first was in where it had started n the original colony. The second swarm went back within an hour of swarming They originally swarmed six days ago, so was this the virgin queen mating?

Why don't you sell them? I had the same problem last year(it must be the Northamptonshire air). I sold three this year as i did not want to go into summer with eight hives when i started with three the previous year! i sold them for 125.00 each on five frames of brood. The people who wanted the...

Smarmy year? I don't think it is, we'll certainly not in Northamptonshire! 2012 well there is another story......
