Gone to the big hive in the sky

A friend of mine owns a forum and he is adamant that there should be absolutely no comments made of a religious or political nature made. I wonder if he is correct ?

I have heard one or two folks saying that they overwinter with a double brood. So assuming you have a single deep brood with a couple of supers and you want to add the extra brood with drawn frames. Where do you put it ? On top or under the box with the Queen & brood. I'm thinking under but...

As per the title, have a great one if that's what you do. Turkey just gone in at chez Norfolk :party-smiley-050:

I have no experience with these new fangled plastic frames. I bet there are plenty of members who have. So what is your opinion of them ? I'm thinking of Langstroth btw.

Not sure where to put this question but i guess a mod will move it as necessary. I like the idea of a Bee Shed but see very little mention of them on here. Does anyone use one ? Any pictures maybe ? Thoughts...

I am looking out of the window this morning and for the first day of this winter my bird table is covered with tits and finches feasting on the seeds I put out for them :party: Robin redbreast has just made an appearance too, the world is all right after all.

Someone mentioned smoking hives on another thread, and I wondered what you guys and gals favour. Mostly I used rolled up cardboard (thin boxes liberated from the supermarket) and set them on fire with the help of a squirt of lighter fuel. I tried what I would term as smoke in a can that I hated...

I have seen one of these on Fleabay and wondered if any members had tried one or what the panel thought. Item 200975382698

Some years ago (30 ish) I used to patronise the above shop. Anyway outside the entrance door and to one side they had what would best be described as a porch roof bolted to the wall, under this a natural colony of bees. Anybody remember this or even have a photograph of it. I used to stand...

Following on from my question about hive siting I wished I had polled the esteemed members for their preference, so here goes. If you had to choose to either........ A sheltered position, think 3 sided shed, to protect the hive from rain and wind (plenty here near the coast) or A less...

I'd like to ask a question about siting a hive after reading about putting a hive in the shadows. I was going to place a hive in an open bay, to explain more it has been created in the gap between two sheds. It's about 15ft wide and 8ft deep & high with a concrete base. There is a roof over the...
