What are your aspirations for your girls next year?

More Honey?

More bees?

Easy life?

Greater income?

Experimentation???

Maintain the Status Quo?

Something else???????

 

[VEG]

[Baggyone]

More honey and queen rearing/experimentation.

Baggy

I am guessing tha M Abielle will at least go for the first option. What thinks you Dr S?

 

[Bee-Key-Pur]

More time on Beekeeping Forum...

Can I get my cheque now Mark.

 

[susbees]

good health

Seconded.

 

[Stiffy]

Concentrating on my gentle hard working Buckfast and glad to see the back of the black devils.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

I just want to get started!

Hate being an apiary virgin.

 

[For want of a better word]

Something else.... working towards the Honey and beekeeping co-operative ideal, free from the dogma related to existing organisations!

 

[BeeJayBee]

I just want to get started!

"I am guessing tha M Abielle will at least go for the first option. What thinks you Dr S?"

Precisely!!!! Me too though - have at least now got a good critical mass.

aim to have a proper go at queen rearing and ensure optimal swarm control.

More Honey no. 1, more bees would be good. More income AND an easier life would be good as well, but I suspect they don't all come in the same package.

As for maintaining the status quo- they're loaded, they can look after themselves!

Bang on RAB, although also ticked a request for an easier life which I suspect may be mutually exclusive.

As for maintaining Status Quo, I'm all in favour of preserving institutions but I think they've had their time (is this where you reach for the tin hat?) EDIT: just read Skyhooks comment, so that as well.

Easier life - I'll be selling off some colonies as I struggled to find the time for them all this year.

be careful what you say in public, comments like that could see you buried beneath a stampede of new beekeepers!!

Hate being an apiary virgin.

That would explain the position being adopted in your profile pic

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

More honey definitely as I now have orders to fulfil!
More bees (to justify all the kit i bought in Maisemores and thornes sales madness)
I'll be lucky to preserve the income I've got as it seems to be open season on public servants

But as long as I've got my health to enjoy my bees!

 

[mbc]

"as long as I've got my health to enjoy my bees!"

Cytuno'n llwyr !
Up, down or status quo, this is the only important thing.

 

[aberreef]

More honey, more bees and hopefully a few nucs to sell on to try and make back a few quid I've spent on the bees

 

[psafloyd]

I'd like to get a couple of swarms into a Warre and a TBH as an experiment.

I know all the pros and cons, but who knows, maybe I will prefer one of them?
