Beekeeping Christmas presents

[Antipodes]

Another great little gift I received is a small, clip-on red light. I'm expecting it to be perfect for light whilst locking up colonies in the dark before moving them.

A carp barrow to move the hives around! Great prez from OH - only dropped a million hints. Birthday very soon too (big one) so expecting even greater things......

A carp barrow

I had one of those once, but replacing the wheel solved the problem.
Not a nice way to describe a gift from a loved one though!

It's a Collin's nets 'telescopic' drysuit, designed for us - and the water fairies when doing RTA recoveries involving water immersion, can't remember the company who actually made the things - just that their workshop was in Sheffield

Northern Diver perhaps? I have one of their drysuits somewhere. And the "woolly bear". Must be easily 25 years old now though.

Northern Diver perhaps?

may have been - unfortunately, when I came off the boats, some kindly soul decided to erase all my files from the onboard system so they were never forwarded on to me.
