no call for that sort of language

Sorry don't use matchsticks only disposable lighters, safer and create a larger opening.

Are they not used for AFB these days?

 

[REDWOOD]

Yes they are for AFB to set your hive on fire

I thought they were for hanging queen cages in between frames...

It's very pleasant and how it used to be.

Long may it last.

I think I remember him being banned because he was dogmatic to a few members

to a few members? a lot more than a few! nothing lost that he's gone.

Sorry but a few was a modest number

I treat this place as a sort of 'mate down the pub that knows about bees'.

The advice may not always be right. It may conflict with what I already know through personal experience, or it may present an alternate view that I hadn't considered before.

If I have enough personal experience to help others, then I will continue to offer it. Is that wrong?

I value advice of many on here - including your advice on my trap out thread, or am I missing the point.

Exactly! Well put!

And there used to be plenty of banter and very little of all this bickering we seem to get now.

Yes, how memories change history:

We are always happy even when our bees have just flown away and the queens is now a DLQ and the heather has failed to flower, stiff upper lip and all that that makes us British
