How about a lawn edging tool - like a flat spade with a half-round sharp flat blade
If you slice it like I do with the end of the slab cantilevered over the edge of a step the cut opens up and makes it much easier to cut.Let's get back to Rory's problem (or his Dad's) and find a way to chop enough for 100 colonies without slicing or sawing.
Got to be a machine.
He has a tonne of fondant alreadyOr just make sugar bricks as described recently
..... quarter the block and each quarter fits neatly into a plastic takeaway container.2.5 kg bags of Fondabee split very easily if required. Use a Stanly Knife to cut throught the polythene bag and fondant below and split by hand. Easy !
Stop being rude to me and my wife! Do you think [you seem to, from some of your posts] that you know everything? And have you tried the product? We have, sense or not, and it worked for us. Other feeds seemed NOT to work. Do not impugn our sense or intelligence.probably not enough to make any difference
Just snake oil for those with more money than sense (or just no sense)
I wonder if a 1950s school paper guillotine would work? Without the safety gubbins.If you slice it like I do with the end of the slab cantilevered over the edge of a step the cut opens up and makes it much easier to cut.
A "hot knife" would probably make it even easier.
The problem with a electric saw would be that the fondant would clog the blade.- a horizontal band saw might work if the cut was on the edge of a step.
Maybe , though I reckon a hook end clog makers knife would be the bees knees. Mind you a suitably sharpened stainless steel border spade for under a twenty pound note would work wonders as well.I wonder if a 1950s school paper guillotine would work? Without the safety gubbins.
Yep, I know, pretty common everywhere but that doesn't make it right. Unfortunately average joe beekeeper has little to no nutritional insight and therefore sees the word "protein" and thinks ah that'ts ok then.
Sorry but it isn't. You might thinks it's doing good, but the reverse can be true, even subclinical effects can subsatatially affect performance.
One of the drivers for it's inclusion is that it's relatively cheap and it doesn't require ongoing very expensive processing.
To be fair it is just coloured fondant, he’s right there.Stop being rude to me and my wife! Do you think [you seem to, from some of your posts] that you know everything?
