Yep ... Just don't let anyone know that I'm not a 'real' beekeeper - just keep it between us !

Stan picked up a leaflet about one of those tree boxes for bees at the national honey show.

Nah....postman delivered something today and Stan was up there before the dog even and was ferreting about in his man cave for ages before coming back empty handed.
Birthday maybe......January :0

I understand the delivery of very expensive wine in brown cardboard boxes is on the up..and the recipients tend to take delivery and then hide away to drink the contents...

Hic!

10 degrees here today in northern Scotland, so had a peep inside. No condensation having added a paynes polyeke filled with polystyrene. Bees looking good, lots of flying, pollen coming in and lots of stores.
Feels like a summers day!

Another way of dealing with any condensation is to put a block of wood under the rear of the hive. Any condensation that was going to drip on the bees ( which is what kills them) will roll and drip towards the front then missing the cluster.
Hivemaker is right though, double up with wingspan instead.

I tilt all my nucs forward slightly. seems to help everything drain, including off the roof.
