What would be the best way to deal with it as i do not wish to spend to much time jaring up if its not going to improve . I do have some rape that i could...

    Question about transfering bees .

    Quick question . I picked up another hive over the winter that came with a bs national brood q/e and super on top . It was from a very good local keeper . Very strong and heavy with stores .

It has now had a refit and is being used as a beer cafe so im happy ;) At first i though it was some old honey comb that the bees had left and then the wasps had moved in . On closer inspection it is...

    Nibble nibble poly hive .

    I noticed this on the side of one of my paynes polys today . I suspect its a bird . Anyone else notice similar goings on . Maybe a chicken wire cover will need knocking up .

    Large rural garden or Apple orchard.

    As the title states . What would be your prefered site . I now have the choice of both . I am leaning towards the orchard but am worried by the spraying that may go on . Likewise the garden could pose a problem if a swarm broke free . Its doing my head in a bit .

    Smoker question

    With the onset of some nice warm weather . I started thinking about the possible danger of a smoker fire in dry grass around apiaries . They do get rather hot . Would there be an alternative method ? Misting with water ect ? I know its unlikely that the grass will get so dry but you never know .
