  1. Best keep your eye on the thred katchy or it will be gone as fast as it’s put up?… can’t believe I missed one of his pics earlier ?. He does take a good pic …. But ya gotta be quick or it’s gone.
  2. I had a greyhound bitch ready to break ( my tenant is a greyhound man) and a potential lab stud all lined up but as soon as the Covid dog thefts started it put me right off.. the thought of having A litter of pups stolen made me put things on hold… for now.
  3. Managed to mark both queens today, should make seeing them on the frame a lot easier. They’ve been marked with this year’s colour ( white) , I have no idea how old they are as they were both swarm queens.
  4. The retrieve is the icing on the cake ?
  5. I used a Lee mould and a Gee mould from Joe Gibson when I cast my own. I don’t have the time anymore and find it easier to buy steel. What size did you get ?.
  6. It’s all experience for her ??did she feed the nuc ?, I fed this swarm sugar syrup to start with but I’ve stopped now the super has been put on.
  7. Looking good ??, is that from the nuc ? (Obviously that’s grown in size) . I’ve just had to put a super on the Cas bees, can’t believe a swarm can fill out a brood box so quick. There are 5 frames of brood, pollen and nectar/honey and the rest drawn out and filled with honey.
  8. I seriously don’t understand why you put that up….. you know 98% on here don’t leave the house to walk the dog.. even if they had one.
  9. Ahh the old trembling hand eh, i shoot instinctive so don’t suffer from it.
  10. It’s in gods hands now..
  11. Try it, if you are getting hand slap cut them narrower ??
  12. Cheers, I cut it narrower. Same power as a .7 but lasts a lot longer. It’s all about experimenting to find what suits you.
  13. Beautiful mate, I really miss the canary/ British. Keep the pics coming ??
  14. Kin-ell thas a big fella if thas lugging one of them around.
  15. Brilliant photo that ??
  16. Brilliant but you have to use the pinkie hole to stabilise it, and it feels uncomfortable for me.
  17. Started shooting one of these .. by feck they are accurate but I couldn’t get on with putting my pinkie in the hole ?
  18. Danny sherwood ?, you are one of the very few who can shoot any frame by the looks.
  19. Sherwood ?… is it a peg tip ?.
  20. I don’t shoot anything as well as a scout lt, they suit my style of shooting and are very pocketable for when I need to get it out of sight. A lad I know shoots a evo really well…. Me.. I’m crap with one. Each to their own I suppose.
