Whilst moving some kit around I’ve noticed the extractor has developed a little bit of rust. Its all in the same place and runs along the join. I was sure that it was dry when I put it into storage, but I guess not.
Anyone know the safe way to remove this before it gets worse? I’m conscious of...
I cant really help here. But due to a distrust in reliable postal services, I do not order anything where weekend deliveries are likely. You are always let down :(
So for the 12 frame ABELO poly hive the rebate measures 46cm x 46cm.
The boxes themselves are 48.5cm x 48.5cm
The clearer boards that I made last year are as below and sat on top of the rebate, with the boxes above locking in. They worked very well.
Is that sufficient or do you want other...
I considered adding AirTags hidden within a hive. I’m led to believe they will only assist you finding the hives again, if they are within Bluetooth range (10ft/30m) of ANY iPhone.
If apple modified them to work with any Bluetooth enabled device I think they would be worth considering.
If no one replies by the time I get home from work tomorrow I’ll measure the 12 frame hive for you.
Out of curiosity, what parts are you making? I was debating making an underfloor entrance with a rebate to fit my 12 frame hives.
Not sure how it would work with whiskey, but I drowned my cappings last year in rum overnight, before passing them through some mesh. It cleaned the cappings lovely and provided two bottles of honey infused rum.
I’m informed you should let it mature for a minimum of 6 months before drinking. I have 25 bottles of 5 different flavours on the go. I sampled the excess and found it to be very potent :)
Two of mine are incredibly heavy. Going to be opening them on Saturday and taking out as much excess stores as I can. I am not winning (loosing) being the first to have their bees swarm.
Do bees have a preference for one over the other?
I’ve very quickly checked my bees today, just by quickly lifting the top and hefting. All the hives feel pretty heavy but the fondant is running low. I’m wondering if they went for the fondant first over their natural stores. Fondant was added...
