Hi everyone, I have a dilemma & hope someone on here can help. Ive got a small colony in an old rotton WBC & i want to swap it to a national hive, any ideas on the best way to go about it ? I was just going to chop up a few of the main frames their on to fit the national (which has new undrawn...

Nice pics bcrazy......can i ask what you used to take those pics ?

Im surprised over these pics....i have a normal "point & shoot" nikon s600 camera which i place a watchmakers eye glass over the lens to increase the magnification..........works quite well i think considering the size of the mite! (could just do with better light to get a clearer pic!)

Do you have any details you can give on this sale ? website ? PM sent

Do you have a link for this microscope ? I tried looking for it on ebay but couldnt find anything !

I thought this was a beekeeping forum.........not a grammer school ?? Does it really matter as long as you can read it ?

Killer bees sign peace treaty !

I cant see any problem in it, as long as youve emailed the seller & argeed that youll inspect the hive before you pay for it cash.

Thanks pete, ive been picking up what theyve dropped through the vorroa floor, so it'll be interesting if i can id any of it.

Can I ask what the results of hiveclean are ?? Are they good ? (sorry im assuming youve used it before) Isn’t this basically the same as sugar dusting ?? Or does it provide a much higher yield of varroa eradication ?

I know what you said mate...i did read it....and im saying....sod it...its just not worth the hassle.... and now i know why ive never bothered with it before. Again.....thanks for your help.

Well i tried that....and all i ended up with was this : A lighter brown sludge...lol......sod it.....im chucking the rest.......worth a try tho....thanks frisbee

Ahhh.....thats what im doing wrong then........i used a pan with water and a bowl sat inside the pan ...........duh.....of course....dilute the honey with the water and the wax seperates easier...........sorry not used to saving wax....ive never bothered with it before due to it being very small...

LOL....ive seen that one.....its actually an olive python..and its still a baby, they get bigger than that.

Ive got some old frames with crystalized honey in them, ive tried slowley melting them in a pot, but it just all mixes together into a horrible sludge.....anyone know the best way to seperate the wax from the honey ? I thought that melting it down and letting it cool would form layers (as this...

Looking for 1-2 national supers, with or without frames...willing to travel, but not too far (located in Swindon) Thanks
