At least all the Beek's that vape their hives will have adequate protection in public.

They say that the hand gel needs to be 60% alcohol. Maybe just a bottle of cheap vodka with some Swarfega mixed in?

It begs the question as to what people did before that they now need lessons in how to wash their hands

Considering most beekeepers in the UK are in the older "at risk" group I wonder if they will ban beekeeping meetings like spring convention to protect us from the virus?

Had a call from the mrs she had been shopping and there all out of loo roll....it appears all you need to survive the apocalypse is a well wiped arse!! I went into 3 shops before I found some at the small local chemist. I expect to see our hero’s in the next zombie apocalypse movie battling the undead for a family pack of super quilted sheets.

I would suggest using the Daily mail as that's all it's fit for, but as someone pointed out to me this morning, it's already full of sh!t
Please, let's not go down that alarmist route.

Mind you, maybe a cull is what is needed
Bbka members? On the plus side the winter loss survey losses would improve dramatically!

- 40 plus 23 that I maintain for clients.
I was at the local bee convention last week and was amazed as I think it was the first time I'd ever had to queue in the gents!

well I know where mine's been, and as I have no intention of leaving anyone else touch it, the toilet would be the least of my worries

Just come back from Lidls where I was replenishing our dwindling supplies of antiseptic agents, gin, scotch etc.
Whole aisle denuded of toilet paper in the panic buying....Guy at checkout said he'd never seen anything like it...
WHY?
Does anyone have a rational explanation, other than bog roll is cheaper than tissues...
Same happened in Oz...

Its a good attempt to rationalise the panic - but it doesn't make it rational. Fear is a key and when you do not have good trustworthy information all you do have is your imagination.

- 6 to 8 Langstroth jumbos, a few Langstroth and National nucs.
They are full of excrement.
A wiped arse would be the least of my concerns in fairness. I did see 1 explanation, bog roll is bulky a big isle looks impressive but is actual few individual packets. It’s bulky to transport /store against higher value smaller items. Hence not massive in store stocks.
Let's hope they buy up all the condoms as well so they don't reproduce.
