It must be a year for losing them ... or the COT gremlins are busy .... because I've lost mine as well - it's in a perfect sized round plastic box and it's always in my bee box .... but it's not there and it's not in any of my bee suit pockets so I must have put it down somewhere but where ? Goodness only knows - it will turn up eventually - it's a proper one with a wooden rim and cotton wires ... reluctant to buy another. I think it's a sign of an ageing brain in my case ... I found one of my hive tools in the wine rack in the kitchen last week .... I've no idea how it got there or indeed how long it's been there ... it's a worry !
