 Bee grub with Varroa. Not many around this year, but care and treatment still needed!    Vanya at the Library  Derek's Honey Creamer, homemade  "This machine is a paddle creamer It rotates at 18 revolutions a minute using an electric motor geared down by an 80 to 1 reduction box. It is cutom made using off-the-self parts sourced in Canterbury. It will cream about 15kg of honey at a time but to get the best result the honey should be poured in slowly. I operate it over two days for one batch using 30 minutes on then one hour off (to rest and release air that may have got trapped). It could be done quicker!" |   All the club hives are opened and every one gets a chance to look and ask questions.   A feeder permanently on the hive allows the scrap comb to be cleanup up by the bees. This one has a vent to carry mosture away from the hive, making it drier and warmer for the bees.    Another wiring board. |
