The meths lab is for winter. Aberdeen is a saturated market unfortunatelyOriginally Posted by fatshark
Phew ... that's a relief. I saw the images on twitter and thought you were running a meths lab
Finally got fed-up looking at a Kenyan Top-Bar Hive which I built some years ago, which I've only used for bees once, and as a dust-collecting work-bench ever since. So I took a saw to it today and will be re-building as a dual 14x12 Long Hive over the next few days ...

You will be burning your sandals and Yurt next!
LOL !
It was a phase I went through ...
I'd like to say it had some good points, but I can't think of a single one - although plenty of negatives (for me). Still, horses for courses ...
I do like running foundation-less, but not with unsupported comb - for me, that's a step too far.
So - it'll now become a more useful 30-frame 14x12 box, divided into two separate hives, each one the equivalent of a double standard brood.

All the bees going at it hell for leather these last two days. I guess from the colour of the pollen they are bringing in that the whins are having a major flow. Seem to be 50 - 50 pollen and nectar gathering. I notice that they have been filling up the supers again , was Himalayan balsom up to last week - lots of white striped workers.
It's been 20 degrees here this weekend and bees have been flying strongly. Not much pollen coming in though compared to a week or two ago.
This is the first year I have ever seen striped workers - don't know if it's the weather that's got the HB out this year, or maybe there's some growing somewhere now.
Hives are getting strapped down for winter or have paving slabs on the roofs.
I am making it my goal to clean everything up this year rather than wait 'till spring. Soda crystals at the ready.
Hi Adam
its the old catch 22
If you try cleaning when the bees are flying they very soon home in on you
I use the thornes steamer lid but if there are bees around they catch the scent and invade the shed
Sheffield beekeepers little pollen identifier is easy to use

... but I'm pretty sure they got the ivy pollen colour wrong. Round here it's bright yellow. I went so far as to photograph bees on it with full pollen baskets.
Its a good little idea though
