    Frame storage

    How long do you leave them in there Erica? I thinking of buying a big chest freezer for mine. Does the long term exposure to freezing conditions affect the wood or wax do you think

    Where do you sell your honey

    I extract in the utility - enough room for full\empty Supers, extractor and buckets etc. Sell at work, local Post Office and friends/family etc. Have found that by giving the first jar helps drive more sales. Just gave the equestrian vet one who three weeks later turned up and purchased 4 more...

    Ivy out already!

    Checked my local ivy today and saw nothing anywhere near ready for bees thankfully. Still have my supers on with bees hitting the balsam hard.

    Chargeable Bumblebee Removal

    Any beek near to Leatherhead that can remove a bumblebee nest (in the ground) from a building site. The bees have to go as this is holding up 'progress' and therefore your t&e will be paid. They will be generous... PM for more info.

    What drives you to do this unless you are moving home. Seems a long way to travel to a 'very out apiary'

    Beekeeping in Singapore

    I seem to be going to Singapore more frequently with my new job so if you need anything 'imported' - let me know and keep the thread going. Love to hear how you are getting on.

    What an interesting day that was

    Sounds like a very interesting day. Were you 'working from home'? Good practice for Mrs G for tomorrow! Truculent is my new word of the day!

    First inspection

    I haven't seen any grey pollen currently but I would help your bees find the feeder by dribbling a little down the centre of the rapid feeder. They will follow the trail and be all over it in no time. May account for the little or no drawn comb. Have the second hive found the feeder? I would...

    Nearly There

    Put some old frames in if you have them and a drop of lemongrass and have a go. Biggest issue is most swarms I've collected are up higher than you can get a full size WBC of the ground. If you were closer you could of had one of mine! Put your name on the local swarm list with your BKA and...

    Brown liquid in OSR Honey supers

    Has the queen laid in this super at any time? Ie did you have her on brood and a half? Then - could this be pollen that did not spin out that is now wet after it's dunking?

    What did you do in the Apiary today?

    Extracted 54lbs from one hive and 53lbs from the other - WOW! Just need to see if it crystallises now so I can use my newly acquired warming cabinet and try soft set honey for the first time. Added super to a swarm that was collected beginning May and has drown out a complete 14X12 BB - going...

    First Swarm

    I love it and think I 'm doing some good too. I have had two swarms and a bait hive hit this season so feeling very happy with myself. Looking forward to the next one even though I will have to give it away, I have run out of spare kit

    OSR Watch

    Green in my part of Kent - honey extracted and supers ready to go back on for cleaning. Just wondering what I am going to do with this amount of honey - they must have been working overtime...!

    Swarms in 2014 (suggestions)

    It might then be interesting to know if the swarm was 'caught' in a bait hive?
