    as a newbie beekeeper of only 2 weeks, god must be smiling on me, as collected another cast swarm yesterday, have seen the queen and they are all settled in a homemade 6 frame nuc, have also found out that the first swarm is queenless, as on checking cells, we had between 1 and 5!!!! eggs per cell, so a laying worker, once the new swarm has settled in and queen mated, may try combining both swarms via a paper marriage

    this is for making mead, but it's all the same You can get a fairly accurate calculation of the alcohol content in your mead if you take two hydrometer readings of it. The first reading should be taken when the initial must is mixed. Just the honey and water mix, take the reading before you pitch any nutrients or yeast. And when the mead is completed and ready to drink you take a second hydrometer reading. The difference between the two measurements will give you a good indicator of how much alcohol is in it. This difference is a drop from the first reading to the second. Here i

    cant belive I posted on this post around 2yrs ago, and am only now getting into bee's, made myself a TBH nuc with 15 top bars, I like the idea of tbh and making from scrap timber, as if these get stolen from permissions you aint then lost ££££'s, and maybe get a national for the garden, have also started brewing 5 gallons on mead (another post on here)

    as an open forum, you cant put up a post ASKING for opinions, and only expect to get good replies in your favour, it goes both ways. if you don't want negative comments, don't post the questions

    until you apply and chat with your FAO, you'll get different opinions, my ticket states I can take any animal with my .22 rimfire, if in relation to pest control, apply for a 22 rimfire anyway, it'll do you much better on the rabbits anyway, if the foxes are few and far between when you visit, you dont want to be paying out loads on a rifle/ammo with as you say, family to support, why not just get someone already with fox experience to occassionally tag along for the foxes, leaving the rabbits to you, with your air rifle for now, and FAC later make sure you remove any shot foxes rather th

    a home made job, cost me £52, and gives results as good as, have to admit I was toying with the idea of buying a ready made set up, in a nice padded box, but the fact that most people recomended having to buy extra bits to "tweak it" seemed crazy, thankfully I chose the homebrew option
