Yes ... that's why you can open a mini-nuc under a red light at night and not get a face full of bees ;-) it also means they see all my Kielers and poly hives as big black lumps, without me looking like I'm farming lumps of onyx. Or something.

There is a nice picture of a bee house and article in the latest edition of IBRA. I think the bee house was located in Fife
I must try to look at that - but what does IBRA stand for?
Came across this picture in a copy of the Northern Beekeepers Handbook, Inverness Association, circa 1950's. Apparently this chap kept a couple of houses, and I have other pictures. Life was so different then - the yields of honey that are reported are out of my league.
