thats just what SWMBO said.

but i know that next spring i am going to need supers as i have 3 hives and only 3 supers. when i started this i was only going to have 1 hive but you know how it goes lol lol. they get split, you get a swarm, best layed plans and all that lol lol.

wonder what next year has instore for me.

 

[drstitson]

you're in luck then - no need for early start as supers and super frames don't shift at the sale.

buy in their on line sale in November, Supers usually £13,50 more expensive but if you buy 8 it is over £100 worth so post free.. ...

extra on line sales cost 8x£1:50 is less than 2x 75 miles petol at 10 miles per litre (15x£1.35)....unless you take a smart car


i get 7 MPG on the bus

 

[drstitson]

just 19 miles out of my way today so just 1.75 litres fuel cost (£2.50).

However if one were to count professional time cost at my official hourly rate........

but i don't work saturdays!

i could have got a pallet full of supers in the Bus though, if i had gone...i assume as usual someone bought a pallet full

wonder how much a pallet full of super costs

 

[drstitson]

the pallets of roofs were 100 off each.

presume it was similar for flat packed boxes.

Luckily someone else sees them - my monday bits and bobs were prepped by me friday afternoon.

Bought these new English Feeders at £7.99 ea. at the Sale, although they are only £6.66 online.

Great value, very effective, easy to clean and no dead bees. Because the diameter of the cone is much wider than the rapid feeder, it's taken down very quickly.

I see no reason to buy the more expensive Ashforth feeders or equivalent.

online price is ex vat

Its a bit annoying having to centre them over the feed hole as they aren't "super" sized, but good design and cheap . Yet to do a dead bee count.

 

[beezwacks]

You should be ashamed, Doc...called that full?

I can see space for a couple of queen cages AND a bee brush, Tut, Tut...

 

[drstitson]

As i said earlier - if i'd found them i'd've had two packs of 50 dadant manleys in there too.

It was a bit cosy with the pack of 4 all butter croissants poking over my shoulder for the duration of the journey.
