It's a piffling sum.

I have written to you asking you to donate it to a worthy cause - eg me.

There are approx 12 million OAPs in the UK and they all get an extra £13 a week and I will have written to all of them by next week.

If half of them agree that's around £78Million a week for me or around £4billion a year.
That will do nicely.
Anyone want a loan at 10% interest - a month? For that, you will get a free tour of my new 250 meter long yacht with free drinks. :devilish:

Unfortunately for you there are not 12 million OAP's OVER 80 in the U.K., just a mere 3.2 million so you may have to reduce the length of your yacht significantly 😂.
 
Mark has to keep working to help pay for my (downsized but still palatial) yacht.
Na!! I'll retire at 55 from making money from bees..... :laughing-smiley-014:laughing-smiley-004

Edit: or be crippled from beekeepers back.

You don't deserve it - I bet you'll waste it all on fast cars, fast women, and drugs.

Just like the one I got. Better than a raspberry I suppose but don't need it and too small to give away and cash gifts don't work well these days either..

I recommend spinal twists - yoga.
(And up dog, down dog, forward bends, backwards bends)

Or get your better half to walk over your back that would sort it.

On Friday I hived up 6 colonys and marked 8 queen's, a single brood box on a pallet is a bit low so I got on my knees to search and mark them, I think I need a crash course on my stance I take .

Im going to put higher stands at some of the apiarys to help any tips welcome.
:offtopic:maybe :)

Getting the height right for you is imperative.
All my hives are on stands at just the right height for my back during inspection but 3 of my clients have WBCs which are just too low for me and after 30mins looking for a queen my back starts complaining!
 
Except to grandchildren....
They will each get a chunk when I fall off my perch providing SWMBO who has alzheimers hasn't outlived me and splodged the lot on excessively high living that we never bothered to enjoy!!! :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2: :icon_204-2:

I use 30cms off the ground as a stand height.(After some trials at 20cms which was too low)
Only becomes a problem at 5 supers and over...

(I am using Lang jumbos which at 50cm deep are rather bigger than National broods at 22.5cms.... But at least I don't have to lift them often!)
 
Don’t forget your state pension with graduated and Serps is taxed .
why pay it all then claw some back ?
could be Paye as is was first earned !
