    The forum runs on software called vBulletin ... tapatalk is something separate as far as I understand. It's a 'front end' that runs on the web, phones and tablets that provides a common (and relatively easy to use) interface to a variety of different forum types. There may be security issues with it (I don't know) as you have to provide it with your login details to the various forums.

    With the web shifting to more secure https connections (rather than http) this forum will need an SSL certificate in due course to avoid the 'Not secure' warning in the browser.

    I'll write separately about beekeeping in response to Lindsay ... as that's much more interesting

    Some browsers don't allow access to non-secure websites, http as so last season!
    (Is this why people are reluctant to get on this forum?)

    Not posted on here for ages - hope you are all doing well ?

    How has the season been going ? Slow start with the cold spring but its been non-stop since. About to move the bees to heather in the next few days so will get some respite from weekly checks

    I’ve had contact with quite a few beekeepers here this year so here’s a general picture of what it has been like so far.
    Everything has been running late this year. It started with a much cooler than average April and May which set back the forage available and subsequently the colonies building up. Extra and later Spring feeding was required to keep a lot of hives going. I only added my first supers at the end of May and a few other beekeepers were the same. Just when the white clover started to flower in early June we had a couple of weeks of low cloud and haar which kept most of the bees in and I thought we were going to have a very poor season. Since then we’ve had one of the best flowering periods of clover here for many years and it has coincided with a nice spell of weather so a lot of us are getting a bumper crop at the moment. We’ve had no heat waves and it has been much dryer than average but it suited the bees so I was wrong with my doom and gloom. Most of our swarming only started at the beginning of this month and there has been a lot more than usual. Finally a lot of us are still waiting for our queens to be mated. As I said at the start everything is LATE this year!!!
