Hello.......

[HJBee]

You going to join me EmsE in the Nitrile bravery test in a few weeks??

[EmsE]

After clipping the wings of queens bare handed and surviving (particularly Richards bees) , why not. I'll just make sure the antihistamine is in my bag just in case.

newbie update..... my neighbour has got two hives and is getting local bees next month - so gonna be bee-tastic up our way.

[HJBee]

Good, are they going to join a local association too? H

[Maybee]

Yes he joined already, getting his bees from them - don't know if he on this forum ?

[Maybee]

also bought my suit and gauntlets to wear over the nitrile gloves. not sorted out frames or anything else yet.

[HJBee]

What suit did you go for? H

[Maybee]

Got the all in one with the round hat from 'simon the bee man' on ebay - had to get an XL on account of my height. Will see what it is like quality wise - as it wasn't the most expensive suit out there :-)

[Maybee]

Many Thanks to H for the trip to see her bees - much appreciated :-)
