    Risk Assesments

    It shouldn't be too difficult or onerous to do the risk assessments yourself. As has been pointed out they are only written evidence of common sense. Follow 5 steps. Identify the hazard, a hazard is anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working from ladders, an open...

    Fondant and TBH

    My TBH has a pitched roof (I think that is the correct term it slopes both ways from the middle). This leaves a good amount of space above the bars. I have made an eke to fit over the cluster and under the roof. I also have some "shims" which I use to make the space between bars large in the...

    Marine ply

    A wild colony survived (or at least the site was continuously occupied) in the sand stone arch over a gateway to the castle in our village. They were there for many years until the arch needed renovated and the void was no longer accessible.

    Biscuit joiner

    Try your friendly local saw mill as opposed to the DIY "Sheds" I have never had any trouble getting Cedar in 12"+ sizes from mine.

    Epi-Pen.

    My friend wasn't a medical professional he was passing by and helped out as best he could and yes he was cross examined at the inquest. For the record it wasn't the first time had had been in a situation of having to administer CPR.

    Epi-Pen.

    I have a friend who administered first aid to a boy who collapsed and wasn't breathing and eventually was declared dead (From a congenital heart condition). At the inquest he had to undergo serious cross examination and the implication that because his qualification was 6 months out of date he...

    General Husbandry

    I know nothing about the exam and considering so many haven't got a good word to say about the BBKA a lot appear to take the exams. However what interests me is the difference between what is said above and what Simoncav says "No list of points to work on No encouragement to try again Just two...

    Top Bar Hive

    A local independent wood yard usually is prepared to supply the wood to your requirements (size wise). Cedar for my 48" TBH (sides, ends, legs and top bars) came to £35 - 40. 1" thick sides and ends, 4 X 3 legs.

    Wellie advice

    It appears to depend on which model you choose. My wife wears Le Chemeau and all this talk of silly money worried me so I did a search. The cheaper models are only £10 - 15 more than Muck Boots

    Flying in the rain?

    Interesting Finman. I have found a number of grounded Swifts over the years and all have only taken flight when offered either the hand tilted until the palm is vertical or given a little toss into the air (only and inch or two 25 - 50mm) EDIT: Both the Royal Society for the protection of...

    Do professional Beekeepers exist?

    Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me! There is no way on earth you could ever stop somebody whistle blowing if the situation was as you suggest. The inspectors are bee keepers as well.
