I collected my second swarm in a week late on thursday night in a poly nuc, let them out on friday with the intention of closing them in again in the evening and taking them to my woodland, I had a rose hive I wanted to add them too, that has drawn out comb and lots of honey from last year, I...

I thought I'd post this here, as most new beekeepers at some point in time start looking to buy one. I've kept bees around 3-4yrs now and did mostly cut comb and crush and strain to get a little honey, I borrowed the clubs extractor and also a friends one, and thought it was about time to get my...
