Good evening.
My name is Richard and i am from Horsham, West Sussex.
I am returning to bee keeping after a long absence, so i am looking forward forward to learning much from the good people here.

Thank you.
I am currently working my way through the many interesting threads here. Clearly there are many skilled bee keepers here with a wealth of knowledge and some good ideas which i can pinch.

The one thread everyone reads and which has a huge diversity is this one .. It's my first goto thread when I dip in.

With 27500 + posts it might take you a week or two to work through ...it's a great indicator about what is happening around the country and it regularly goes off topic to provide comment and entertainment .. well worth putting on your radar.

There is also humour and a tinge of anarchy so welcome and enjoy.

Nothing like a 9 year old thread to pass a Sunday away.
I immediately picked up a good tip; dumping propolis into a jar of meths or alcohol (definitely not my Jamesons Special Reserve) and using it to varnish the hive interior. A tip posted by your good self i believe?

Nothing quite like a tinge of anarchy mixed with sardonic humour to make a post worth reading too

Well.... everyone is entitled to have one good idea amongst the couple of hundred bad ones !!

Seemed like a good idea at the time should be my middle name ...
