  1. @daveyp Oh noes!!! ;-)
  2. @daveyp Did anyone notice?
  3. @RankyStagno That's kittens for you :-/
  4. @JennyWhitham @willipmrpip Not on my iPhone without my fracking glasses! I don't have a prob anymore but it took me a while to get my eye in
  5. @willipmrpip Jenny's right but maybe could have phrased it more delicately ;-)
  6. @JennyWhitham That's a bit harsh! We don't all have the support networks we need. Discussing rather than judging is better for learning no?!
  7. @LittleHen33 Gaffer tape!!!
  8. @willipmrpip ...loadsa bees, espec older ones about then I reckon she's not gone yet but may do imminently. But I really am not an expert!!
  9. @willipmrpip I'm probably wrong as I don't think I'm understanding all the timings correctly but if they're building new QCs and there's....
  10. @RankyStagno Pink2U
  11. @willipmrpip I don't doubt your spotting skills but marks can rub off. Had to re-mark Nicola a few weeks back, had rubbed off completely!
  12. @willipmrpip @kernowspringer Remember they'll slim her down before swarming so she'll be less easy to spot!
  13. @willipmrpip @kernowspringer In which case I'd hazzard a guess she's still there, if you can find her and split it'll save you grief!
  14. @SheffieldHoney Sorry, I couldn't fit the ;-P ;-)
  15. @SheffieldHoney Tis clouding over up ere now, hoping it cools! Remember to replenish fluids, would be a shame to keel over and hurt the bees
  16. @kernowspringer @willipmrpip I missed one too, no shame in that ;-) I'm now confused over timeframes on your hive, is the photo from today?
  17. @RankyStagno Are you thinking now? Careful!
  18. @willipmrpip @kernowspringer It's not. It's worker brood so laid by queen.
  19. @willipmrpip @kernowspringer If there was no sealed queen cell they wouldn't have gone already surely.
