  1. Two (at least) fungi look like this, One is delicious to eat.......the other is not for eating. Testing my memory but believe this indicates a problem with the tree, not a good sign. A bit of research is needed
  2. Looks almost like there's some lacing on his breast feathers? Not the best photo but here's one of our CLB boys. Very little gold barring as we like the neck plumage to be white as opposed to gold
  3. Go visit your local beekeeping association - hopefully it won't be full of little hitlers but will be full of people giving good advice freely. If anything like our local association there will be an apiary where you can get some hands on experience - you may change your mind about a TBH. Good luck with your venture anyway.
  4. You on the mead HP? lbs & kgs mixed up?
  5. Only time I've heard of using a Q/x under a brood is when hiving a swarm, then moved after a couple of days.
  6. Load of rollicks! Have seen this on a beekeeping forum, the actual product isn't yet available - their fund raising through another website, can't remember which. Basically you give them money to get production up & running and they then allow you to buy product (when made) at a discounted price - how kind. Anyone who keeps bees must know the delights of crystallised honey in the frames - please explain what this is going to do to my newly purchased bit of well marketed un-nescessary high tech trash. Think that sums up my feelings nicely
  7. Recommend Andy Kelly on here, worth searching out. Have bought from twice.
  8. Stalking the now rare elusive tit in the Sun
  9. 10/10 for thread, interesting read from start to finish.
  10. Under a £/Ltr today with the 20p off offer at tescos today......buggers wouldn't be giving me 20p off if they weren't buying cheaper! Bout time they all dropped their prices.
  11. Recent purchase of 100yrd quickset net....pleasure to use. Happy to recommend

    PM Nelson (member on the forum) - he may be able to help
  14. Sh1t.....that's a bit of an impulse purchase. Hope it was approved by the boss!
  15. Cheers Bobcullen. Will try a slowly slowly approach as a first then outside of the run & see how things progress
  16. Any tips on introducing our new member of the family (currently in quarantine) to the mob? How long to keep in quarantine? We were planning on feeding them all up and then introducing her on full tummies. Don't really know her history as bought at an auction, this years kit supposedly and a good worker?!? Appears to be healthy, alert & friendly enough, well haven't lost any fingers yet!
  17. I'm guessing this method bruises the hell out of the rib cage area? Reason I ask is where our rabbits go, they come out of jackets & sold whole on the counter so a black & blue top half wouldn't look quite as appealing. Still might have a play on a young'un though just for the hell of it - ferrets aren't likely to object
  18. Andy Kelly on here.......irrelevant of shows I wouldn't go anywhere else.
  19. That is an offer not to be missed for somebody........very generous-shame your not closer
  20. Good price, sell as you do but for 50p less
  21. What brand are you trying out of interest?We've just switched to Winchester from Hornady - pleased with the results, sure it's more of a confidence thing but ho hum
  22. Shite......& I thought there were some odd balls on this site.....nothing in comparison to those weird o's!

    Threat Level

    Diversion tactic - conservative candidate, anti EU, switches to UKIP, don't want that staying in the headlines for too long do they.
