    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Today I set a world record for quickest bee sting in history. After two years of trying to get bees I finally succeeded in getting two nucs today. I eagerly suited up and went about removing the mesh from the front of the box only to realise at the last moment that I had forgotten to put on my...

    Irish Beekeeping Facebook Group

It can be found under Beekeepers of Ireland. I doubt id be able...

    Beekeeper lite. iPhone app.

    Id prefer to avoid getting my expensive smart phone covered in nectar, propolis and honey as well as running the risk of forgetting it behind me after the inspection, and this is from a confirmed gadget addict.

    Bite the O.S.R. bullet?

    Snoop- Im thinking that your probably right. Moving them to OSR for a few weeks is a bit of a hassle seeing as i would have to move them twice in order to return them to my preferred location

    Bite the O.S.R. bullet?

    I have two nucs coming my way soon. The area i have selected is full of forage and well sheldered. The problem i have is there is OSR less than two miles away. Should i just bite the bullet and move them next to it and build up well or put them in my first choice location and run the risk that...

    Hawthorn it is then?

    Fantastic pictures! Hawthorn is really starting to flower in North Cork and very aromatic. Still waiting for my first two nucs and getting very impatient, seeing as the weather has been so good here for the last

    Nervous about new nucs

    That's for all the advice. I'll definitely try to get a look at them in advance of picking them up. I'd love to get them sooner rather than lately. I've wanted to get bees for the last two years and I've finally got everything I need to start. My attempt to attract a swarm was laughable.

    Nervous about new nucs

    I have two nucs on order but with the weather we are all getting I'm nervous about whether they will be up to scratch. I contacted my supplier and he is unsure whether he can deliver or not. In the event that he can deliver, how can I tell if they are strong enough to survive and hand over what...
