We remember Hivemaker with affection. Supplied good queens too.

Indeed so. I visited him quite some years ago now and he was very generous with his time and knowledge.

Hi. So pleased to see you here. Your dad sold me my first queen and he talked the ears off me into the early hours. We do miss his sound advice and sense of humour.

I remember giving your dad's phone number to one of our BKA members who, one September, was convinced he was queenless and was struggling to find a replacement.
Pete messaged me later telling me he'd spent an hour on the phone with him convincing him not to buy a new queen - the colony survived and went on to thrive the following summer.

Excellent…… Your father was a beekeeping legend and a real go to for information and sound advice. Many of his contributions are still here and I hope you’ll be adding to them! Best wishes to you and the family….Ian

Spent a long hour on the phone to your Dad: generous with his time and advice

 

[Nige.Coll]

Your dad was awesome. He is missed by many.
Welcome.

Welcome from me as well ...I too had two of your dad's queens and a long phone call telling me how to install them properly. ALL Pete's posts are here ... a massive archive ... He is much missed and fondly remembered.

I just did a search for Hivemaker and nothing came up. Have his posts been moved elsewhere?

Welcome Hivemaker 2. Great to have you on here. That breeder queen I had from you is still going strong and I successfully used her for raising some of the next generation. Did some instrumental insemination as well this year (flipping difficult!).

Thanks Philip. I'm not sure why a search doesn't work for Hivemaker, but thanks for the tip about the Members tag.

We have a member using the name Hivemaker, who has not posted, I think that's why.

A very warm welcome, your father was a wonderful man and beekeeper. Had many a chat with him and always late at night. I hope you will continue in his legacy.

What do you mean he's not posted? He started this post!

Edit...... sorry I just realised it Hivemaker2 who stared this.
