I have a few of the Maisemore ones, they are decent and well built saves the messing about. Failing that the Apiarist had a decent post offering advice, I've used the mesh from the ebay seller he recommends with a quick wood frame aswell as stapling it directly to the poly when I've been short...

I'm tempted with the Saturday for the talk by Luke & Suzie Hutchinson from Northumberland Honey. Commercial Queen Rearing and Breeding. That's it though.. its a 2 hour drive for a 90 min talk I'll decide on the day..

I didn't expect a per gram price 🤣 But that is a good price! Two blokes near me sell for £6.50 per lb.. bloody nuts

That's a good price. What would you charge for a standard Runny honey?

Hi all, Just a query around labeling of Bakers Honey and what is ans isn't required. I see date, lot, weight is the same. No information about floral type is to mentioned The phrase 'intended for Cooking Use Only' Would I still use 'produce of england'? Do I still need to provide my contact...

I'll agree, had a few of Laurence the past couple of years and they have all been absolute beasts. No doubt I'll be ordering a couple more for some early season splits next week.

@Vanterrier Check out Dyson battery adaptor on amazon/eBay and old work colleague has one and sticks an 18v Makita battery on the Dyson at home.. would work well for you and increase your runtime.

I had a chat with them, great looking gear and at great prices. Had to hold back pulling the trigger without knowing more. I believe the vlokes behind it are polish and ship it over.

Duncan the UK supplier is very active on the InstantVap Facebook group, pop a message in there and he will answer. There also at thr Telford show in a couple of week.

I use the same one, it's fantastic get a great seal even with my beard, full visibility and I have not had any fogging issues. I got the recommendation from a Stuart Spinks video and glad I went with it. Along with the instantvap mite treatment is a breeze.

Wow. Good to know cheers.

How did you dispose of the mixture after you were done? I can't recall seeing that on the NBU guidance.

Wired sheets for me across the board. I use mainly 14x12s and had some sucess with the frames and feeders frames and will look at moving another 4 hives over this season. Also picked up a few standard plastic sheets to try this year. But if I had to pick one its the wax sheets. Ask again next...

Haha I was say to the right of you for this picture. Had a great little chat with Michael Palmer beforehand. Some great talks, won a 1st prize and spent far too much 🤣

Looking forward to the tall tomorrow!
