    Such mindless behaviour.

    If you are buying spirits for Xmas and new year you might want to body swerve Tesco
    Checked the price of two things, an Indian Gin and A Swedish Vodka £3.00 more per bottle in Tesco than Asda for the same thing
    Horse sense (pie) dictates avoid spending £36 Tesco rather than £30 Asda (20 % difference)
    No wonder the B's are dissapearing

    That aside why did the treatment kill the bees ?

    Yes big wind outside at the moment the direction isn't too bad though
    The gusts are the worrying thing
    Quite fierce

    Perfect weather for OA vaporisation ... went round all my colonies. Anything that leaked out got whisked away to Finland PDQ.

    Terrible weather for beekeeping... and yet someone kindly whisked round my apiary and poured OA vapour into all my hives. Thanks, Fatshark!

    He's a good sort, that fatshark

    Today wouldn't be the day to try trickling unless you placed the hives on their sides first.

    Sat in Vera the Van briefly on returning from an errand and I started to wonder if Volkswagen Transporters blow over in gales. It was certainly shoogling enthusiastically. Perhaps it isn't wise to park her side-on to the gale at the usual spot perched above the Tay with an uninterrupted view across to Thorne at Newburgh over 10km away.

    Maybe I need a couple of concrete blocks on the roof?!
