Thanks for all the replies, i will be in touch with the grower and find a happy medium, does oxalic staples come under organic treatment? Might be a topic for another thread Thanks team

Hi team, just have a question for the experts, do you need to be organically certified to pollinate an organic crop?

Could you post link @kevin moore? I just had a search but no luck

Where would i likely be able to buy a quality wax dipper from? Or would i be best to make one?

What are the chances of bees being poisoned from kowhai? I have a site full of kowhai that i was looking at for a queen rearing site, should i be weary of putting my hives there?

Whats your process on dipping to steralise boxes @john berry? Is it as reliable as they say it is?

How do you go about making frames from pallets @kevin moore ? Im curious as i wouldnt mind giving it ago

June sounds prety early, whats your reasoning behind that ted?

Hey guys, looking for a numbering system to number hives, frames and apiary sites seems harder than it sounds as spliting hives and storing gear have complicated things, has any one got a good system in place for recording and tracking gear an sites?

Starting to see a fair bit of aphid dew down our way have you noticed any impact on the bees wintering on it? I hear it can granulate quite bad?

How did you get on with the propolis mats @TaylorS ?

Hey alister im still having trouble sorting the auto level sensor out, where abouts did you get your price on the auto level sensor? Cheapest quote iv got is $670

Yeah, im on the fence with this one iv been told its ok but mpi wont give me the green light, i cant aford to have honey rejected, i geuss i can only wait till the honey is off. If i go on the dew il only take up hives with low mite counts, i could give them a blast before supering up i geuss

That was the plan but if i go target a bit of dew in feb, then ide need to do some sort of treatment to nock mite loads down

Hey guys, im looking to treat hives with my provap 220 while honey is still on the hives, i have contacted mpi about it and they couldnt give me a deffinitve answer so thought ide put out their and hear others experience on using it.
