Hello World

[Paul33]

Hi everyone,
I'm new here so wanted to stop in and say hi.

My names Paul, I'm a Derby lad (who happens to live in Switzerland).

I've been a bee keeper for just over three years now and have Carnolians in Dadant DB hives.

My hives are kept in a nature reserve and aside from the really bad winter we've just had the only threats that I normally experience are varroa and wild boar.

Anyway, that's me - Hi!
Paul.

Welcome Paul.
will be interesting to get a Swiss perspective on here.

All those alpine meadows - I suppose you get edelweiss honey?

hello

Hi Paul33,
You`ll be ok if varroa are allergic to the Higgs particle.

Hi,
Nope - no edelweis honey, it's really rare here and usually at a high altitude and places where you have to drive a fair distance to (on crappy mountain roads).

My normal food source is rape seed oil, clover, sunflower and 'forest'.

Higs particles or black holes

Paul.

Hi Paul
Welcome to the forum, it will be good to hear whats happening elsewhere, we have reports from France, Finland, Cyprus to name but a few, stick a pin in Switzerland Admin.

Welcome Paul,

With or without your Higgs bosons, they're obviously not particles.
Damn, did I say that out loud!

Google is definitely my friend.

Welcome Paul.

Hello Paul, lots of wild boar around me too here in southern Spain but they have never disturbed my hives. Varroa I ignore!
