At one time there was a minimum distance from homes that could be planted
I don't know if that still applies because I see it planted right up to garden fences
and does it have to all be yellow can't we inject some other colours like with runner beans

there was some debate about whether old comb was best replaced with new and somehow it got tangled up with Apistan and similar residues
I wonder if you might be right and renewing comb should be all or nothing
The forum is very quiet where is everyone?are they preparing for the state funeral ? ( I didn't get an invite)

Playing catch up my bees are bucketing pollen in before 9am this morning and in huge numbers!
Typical I have other things to do(pre booked) when I should be inspecting the bees and piling on the supers!

My Beecraft subscription has run out at a time when the magazine has just hit a new low
Can you suggest an alternative ?

What - you mean you've been missing out on the joys of the letters page in the SBA mag DR?!!
Ah !, yes, well, apparently when you leave SBA you stop getting the magazine (my knowledge of GM crops has suffered badly as a result)
I was thinking of doing a U turn and re-joining but ,and I happy to be corrected here, I would have to cough up a full subscription then again in January only 6 months later-- so might as well leave it till then
How about Bee Culture or Beekeepers Quarterly -- anybody get them
I get the American Bee Journal and it's a great read if you're not so bothered about getting UK-specific information. Highly recommend it. I ordered direct from Dadants and saved a bit of dosh rather than getting it via Thornes
