[For want of a better word]

I have actually found less expensive 1st quality somewhere near the park. once VAT and carriage was added!

My bees were humming "Scotland the Brave" just now...... must be the cold.
Must teach them some Carols!!
any suggestions?

I got some roofs and floors - fiddly to make. I have made the supers/broods out of shuttering ply. Also got a candle mould and some wick...got to do something with all the wax.

The supers were so cheap I got half a dozen, as I don't a) have any wood b) any woodworking skills and c) anywhere to do it.

Bit dissapointed in the quality of a couple of 14x12 BBs I bought at Wragby. One had a hole in it where a knot had been, albeit pretty small, and the next both sides were slightly warped.

Nothing overly concerning, and they are seconds after all, but the couple I've had in the past were a lot better. One more to build so fingers crossed I was just unlucky with the other two

Know of a good recipe for furniture wax.................

Beeswax.... old brown stuff.... turps subs and lavender oil

warm, mix pour into tin and selsl for at least £12 per 250g tin

Big shallow tins with a turned in base are best...... easy to get a cloth in and use sparingly!

any variations on the theme appreciated !
