So what happened to "Hivemakers" bee farmer thread, apart from being shut down?

Hello all you lucky people. I've just arrived home from a sailing trip in South America and now back in the UK for this excellent summer for our bees. :-)

Instead of clipping the Queens wings, has anyone tried gluing them together. By the way, I'm not saying I have, but would like to know if it could stop her swarming...

I have a very old, massive ash tree on my land, but it's showing no signs of die back, in fact it's looking very healthy. Does the problem effect old trees in a different way, showing different signs or is it a case that it may not have been affected yet?

I was watching a program yesterday with my 13yr old daughter, about the hunting for Noah's Ark and what brought about the flood. Part way through the program my daughter asked me a question, If he took two of every animal, surely after the flood the surviving animals would have ended up...

I have a question for the veggies and vegans types of the world.. For your heating, do you burn, oil, gas, some kind of coal, electricity from oil or coal burning power stations, and how do you feel about that? Because, we all go back into the cycle of life and death on this earth, even if it...

What do you think about it? Me, well I have a problem that the pages keep minimising on there own, I think is something to do with my malware or anti virus software even though I have added many exceptions. I don't like that there is no program list, start button or run, you have to use the...

I'm over wintering some bees with queens that I reared this year in some of P@ynes Nucs, 14x12s. One of the nucs became queen less so I decided to unite them. All my main hives are jammed full of bees so the only option was to unite them with one of the other p@ynes nucs. I have some spare...

As per the title, does anyone know of any companies selling Marburg Swarm Boxes. I can't find any on the net apart from Dave Cushmans plans for making your own :smash:...

I ask because the last time I saw this much military aircraft movement was for the Gulf war?

My best hive last year was very easy to work with, a very good tempered hive. Last year they were in one 14x12 BB, this year they have expanded into two 14x12 BB’s and are producing lots of honey, they currently have two supers on. I let it go that way because I wanted to graft from that Queen...

I assume that all the drones left in the bottom BB, with the original entrance closed off and under the QE, will perish or get stuck in the QE trying to move up? Is this why some poeple leave the bottom entrance open as well as giving a top entrance?

I have been offered an out apiary on a farm that has a half mile long drive through an avenue of lime trees. I have no experience of lime honey, so my question is, does it present any problems honey production wise?

In some of the old beekeeping books I’ve read, they used to add a little salt to water and put it out for the bees, so I thought I would give it a go, but conduct a little test at the same time. So I put out two water feeder, one with a little salt in it and the other filled with plain water...

I have some yew trees on my land and the bees have been going nuts on the pollen over the last few days, the trees have been buzzing. Any one noticed the same....?
