Queen rearing

Last night attended the first Queen rearing class by Mike aka 'Beesnbeans', very informative, and with all the kit they supply these days should be fun raising queens, the only problem I see is where on earth am I going to put all these hives, my little ladies have a real issue with me cutting the grass so definitely can't put another hive in my garden!

So next task is to get some nuc boxes made up and perhaps some mini nucs to drop the virgin queens in.

Should be fun and potentially profitable too.

EU madness

Surely Brussels has really lost the plot, just how many of these crops will there be in the gardens of Whyteleafe, sounds like more jobs for the boys and I bet there is only one country in the EU that would act upon this???? Because our lot are just as daft at times!!!
