    Honey and Soy Marinade for Salmon

Have to admit I'm very much of the "splash of this, splosh of that" school of cooking so the quantities are a bit of guesswork, taste it and add more soy or honey as needed. I tend to view this as a base and maybe add a few things depending on my mood. A bit of 5...

    Polystyrene National Hives/nucs

    I've seen a bit of discussion about poly hives and I'm reasonably keen to try out at least a Nuc, not least because of the lower cost involved but I've only seen Langstroth sized boxes for sale. Maybe my google-Fu is weak, but does anyone have any pointers as to where I might be able to obtain a...

    I'm based in North Bristol, not a million miles from the Memorial Stadium/Cricket ground. Myself and another newbie have a hive each and we'd appreciate a bit of guidance.
