@britishbee I am off to watch it tonight. I often find that "the time to be scared" is the moment I realise my veil is not zipped

Not perhaps a film for everyone but fun to get a mention! ''The Beekeeper... he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as "Beekeepers". Including the line 'There's a time to be scared' 🙂

@simpson14525010 @britishbee thanks for the suggestion, but there is a steward in constant attendance and a safty kit, including a blanket and soap spray just out of picture

@britishbee Very surprised the observation hive is not secured down or raised onto table to stop accidentally being knocked over. Suggest a sheet be nearby to cover bees if accident should happen.

The Game Fair at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire, now open through till Sunday

@TheBeeFarmer might work, hopefully the diet will help as well

@BBKACHAIR Two roofs?

A hive roof makes an acceptable seat when standing for a long is a bother. Its easy to be uncomfortable. #daysout #beekeeping

@MaisemoreBees yep, bought a few things

First day of our SALE, gone really well so far, Thank you to everybody who has bought their equipment so far from us, 2 more days to go!

@apimondia inherited from my father. only intended to keep 2 hives! Now have 40😀

How did you first get into beekeeping?

@Scotbeekeepers Sharon will be missed, she has done a fantastic job. This is an exciting opportunity for a new editor who will have a great foundation to build on.

It’s been a pleasure working with you Sharon, what a great role for someone
