This is the beginners section and that is a really irresponsible comment to make even if you raised another reply to qualify your joke.

Point taken.

Bee Boys, where about's are you in Yorkshire?

 

[Bee Boys]

Might be best you have another look through this thread and devise a plan for how you're going to sort it out. Shouldn't be too difficult.
Got any pics of the colony and your setup?

Yes but can not find out how to post them?

Before anyone's blood pressure rises too high and they become apocalyptic...it's my own cheap honey. Some soft set that accidentally got sat in the sun for too long and separated.
I most certainly would not recommend feeding supermarket non EU honey to your bees. Although I wouldn't burn down the hive if I had..../big grin/

I have been feeding morrosons and Aldi honey from in the Eu.

Nobody is asking you for a grid reference. A town will do. If we know where you are somebody near you will offer to come and help I’m sure.
As for attaching a picture look at the top of your post as you create it. You’ll see a paper clip with an arrow next to it. Click on that and the rest is self explanatory

To try to summarise, lessons to be learned.
Never feed when you have honey supers on. Whatever you are feeding will end up contaminating your honey.
Never feed honey from outside sources to your bees. It could contain disease spores etc.
Add a super when your brood box has 7-8 frames of brood. If you add boxes too early that is wasted space that the bees will have to heat. If they are not using a box, they do not need it, so take it off.
By having fed shop bought honey there is a small risk that you could have introduced foul brood into your bees. The suggestions about burning any frames which are possibly contaminated is from bee keepers not willing to take that risk, and I understand that point of view, but I would just be extra vigilant in future inspections. The risk is real but small.

Well you are close enough to me to help, if you wish. I'm about 7 miles from Thirsk.
Suggest you join Harrogate and Ripon BKA

My point exactly.

some pictures

some pictures of the hive and colony.

Some good pics there.

Another way of getting images up is to upload them to a cloud drive or image hosting site. I use OneDrive and get an embed link. Don't embed images too big though as it makes your post huge and can be annoying.

Is that last photo your landing board? On a normal day?

 

[Bee Boys]

It is the landing board on a normal day exept that we had gust inspecter the hive

Just to put it info perspective... Your mistake could cost a beefarmer alot of money in burnt hives and bees.... Happened in Sheffield this year

Ther are about 11 seems of bees and 7 frames of brood ther is no queen excluder between the brood box and the first super( the queen has started to lay in the super ).then ther is the second super which we have been using for feeding honey and syrup.

Well... got there at last. Another lesson for your future in the forum ... there are lots of people on here who are always prepared to help with good (and occasionally very bad) advice but ... and it's a big BUT ... we do need a full package of information in order to assist .. the more detail you can provide the more chance of getting a full response. This thread has been like pulling teeth.
