no, when he comes to Symonds Yat for the BFA meetingAt the Honey Show?
So jealous EMYR (I learned, finally!) I'm 36. I've seen Leonard Cohen live several times, Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen and John Martyn. Touched Nick Cave's skeletal finger when he jumped into the crowd and tried to turn Mumford and Sons away from the Green Room area at a festival as I didn't know them. Did events with Atwood, Walliams, Keegan yada yada at work and never got starstruck like everyone else as people are just people. But meeting Mike Palmer.... doesn't beat the first time I saw Leonard, but hell, it's pretty close to all the others! We're an odd bunch, we beekeepers, awed by a Vermont Beekeeper (love the talk about Charles Mraz and the other competing guy) and unimpressed by Booker winners. This is normal 36yr old behaviour... right?no, when he comes to Symonds Yat for the BFA meeting
Beekeeping isn't normalThis is normal 36yr old behaviour... right?
I got the same sort of derision when Car Park News featured. (I ran a company refurbishing Multi-storey car parks for over 25 years)Beekeeping isn't normal
Maybe it's even funny ......watching Have I Got News for You one night the BBKA mag hit the Guest Publication spot to roars of laughter from the audience
The BBKA has that effect on many a serious beekeeper.watching Have I Got News for You one night the BBKA mag hit the Guest Publication spot to roars of laughter from the audience

Oh, noooo!a gander at the Abelo 12-framer
Go on. Why the "Oh no"?Oh, noooo!
My homeland has never had a better promotion!I’ve been to Symonds Yat. There was a lot of Chaffinches there.
You have 11-frame National; the Abelo 12-frame National is incompatible: bigger footprint, interlocking lips between parts. If you want to start again, go ahead, but don't run two systems because commonality of kit is essential for efficient operation; you have 5 colonies now but may have 55 in two years.Go on. Why the "Oh no"?
You're absolutely right, Eric. Thank you for the cold splash of water to the face.You have 11-frame National; the Abelo 12-frame National is incompatible: bigger footprint, interlocking lips between parts.

If a colony needs space, give it another box, not another frame.
