Should have run at them holding a frame in the air.Originally Posted by fatshark
I've lost a mini-nuc to bl@@dy wasps ... the bees absconded rather than stay and get decimated. I arrived home to find them flying over the fence in a small swirling mass. It was mid-afternoon and warm, so hoped it was a bit of late season, near-apiary, hanky-panky from my darkish bees (whatever Photoshop trickery Gavin applies!).
Alas. They didn't return.
Fast running out of drones here for mating
Worked for me and my queen was laying 3 days later.
I checked a few colonies at the association apiary earlier and they are still packed with drones, hundreds in each colony.
For a variety of reasons ... 6ft fence, main road, aggravated neighbour, lethargy, absence of suitable Ley lines, residual neonics, gasping for a cuppa ... it never crossed my mind to chase them waving a frame in the air. I'll know next time.
That's my top top for the day.
Top tip of the year I reckon. Those who only peek at the forum via Tapatalk miss so much. Maybe they'll issue an update that does Blogs too.

I reckon next time you should try tanging at the same time as waving the Apidea frame in the air (was it an Apidea one? Can't remember, can't check!) to help them along. Only as they came from an Apidea you may have to tang with a thimble, or maybe one of these foil trays little individual fruit tarts come in. A saucepan would be right out.

Thats me - rarely use anything but Tapatalk so went to have a look at the Blogs and realised anyone can add a blog. Never knew that , thought it was just the great and the good. I can see that sometimes its more appropriate to write a blog than a long post.
The blog is also useful as a reference for yourself.
If you are trying to remember when something or other actually happened.
Yes, useful as a personal online diary. All the key moments in the life of your apiary in one place, if you like. As it is for public consumption, not really suitable for all the details of hive records, veterinary treatments etc, but useful for key events, and showing folk whatssapnin with your bees and a more logical way to present a continuing story. Under my 'ESBA Apiarist' pseudonym I use it (occasionally!) to show what we're up to there - initially to help demonstrate the appropriate spending of Awards for All funding.
As for the hope of getting vBulletin Blogs integrated into Tapatalk, this was from April last year on the Tapatalk Support forum:
Questioner: Will tapatalk be able to access the Vbulletin blog in the future?
Tapatalk Plug-in developer (in his own words): No determinate plan for this support.
A bit sad, given the growth of the use of Tapatalk on here and other fora.

Yes I really like Tapatalk though the new iPhone App upgrade is a bit weird. Taking longer than I'd like to find my way around it.
