Last session of beekeeping course, a sort of wrap up of the previous 7 weeks and learning a bit about the use of wax. Beeswax polish sounds like fun and possibly profitable, I wonder if any of those French Polishers are still in business who used to repair all those damaged Sapele doors in those houses I built, not to mention an abslolutely wicked finish to the staircase handrails, ok drifting off the beeten track a bit!
EPS (an Early PS) by know you may have guessed there is no spell check on this blogging site!!
Mike, one half of the course presenters, is even less pc than me, I can't remember now what he was drawing but it ended up looking vaguely ponographic much to his amusement and the classes'.
Useful tip of the week is don't use Silver Spoon sugar to make the syrup feed for the bees, it must be cane sugar and Silver Spoon is beet sugar.
Despite signing up my local bee society I still haven't got my BBKA memebership no. and I'm told will need this to get a "Bookers" card so I can buy cheap sugar, I think these bees are going to get through a few lbs a year!
Thank you Mike and Sue for a great course
