    Asian Hornet Presentation at National Honey Show

    I found Nigel to be quite arrogant in his delivery at times and really quite aggressive towards one or two of the questioners. I got the distinct impression he really didnt want to be there.

    Asian Hornet Presentation at National Honey Show

    Totally agree and we'll be trapping on the off chance of catching one in Sunny Devon whilst attempting to mitigate for a bycatch. Is their idea that if we don't try to trap them then we won't catch any and we can pretend the problem doesn't exist?

    Honey set in Bucket - options please

    Agreed that does appear to be the standard way of building the DIY project and the cabinet comes ready built. What do you use as a heating element in this set up? Thanks

    Honey set in Bucket - options please

    That does look a fairly simple affair and the fact you can have all the buckets at virtually ground level is also appealing. Im wondering has anyone tried making anything like this using bathroom/kitchen underfloor wiring as the heater elements installed in a PIR lined ply box?

    Honey on 'country'file

    Ask forgiveness not permission. I bet if you'd never asked the question nobody would have noticed or cared!

    11 frame Abelo poly Ashforth feeder size ?

    A liittle late to the party but..... I have Abelo 12 frame hives with 1 or 2 Abelo supers per hive. To keep costs down Ive also bought a load of "seconds" cedar national supers in the sales and constructed them as top bee space rather than bottom, they sit nicely on top of the poly ones but...

    Oxalic acid vap

    Ive often wondered if there is any practical advantages to to vaping from the top or bottom? How long would you keep the hive sealed? Thanks

    Extractors - Conical base V flat

    Not a specific one at the mo but will be looking for a 20 frame radial. Laurence @ BMH has a Youtube video of his (I think 40 frame) new premium Abelo/Lyson which I think is heated.

    Extractors - Conical base V flat

    For those with experience of different extractors is it worth the extra expense of buying an extractor with a conical base, ie tap at the lowest point rather than having the fairly standard tap at the side and slightly above the base? Thanks all.

    Do Abelo put poly National kit on sale?

    That is actually a cracking idea.... however misguided!

    What I've learnt in my 1st 7 months

    I think one of your major strengths is knowing that you've still got so much more to learn!!

    God I love growing our own

    The smell from there used to be absolutely hideous at times, always surprised me how something that tasted so good could smell so bad.

    First hive advice!

    Id also suggested having a go at making a couple of these floors shown by Laurence at BMH.

    Oxalic acid vap

    As I understand it the Gas Vap is great if you only have a few hives to do (I would think your 8 counts as that) A lot more its all too much of a faff with breaking heat sources and blocked tubes.

    Butt joint

    I cant view your image but if their either timber or poly it won't make a blind bit of difference, if timber glue and pin.
