  1. Trevor Gillbanks started following I'm pretty sure my bees are being robbed, Hive weight during the season, December 2020 Apiary Diary and 3 others
  2. Trevor Gillbanks
    That is probably the best scales system that I have seen. Simple and effective.
  3. Trevor Gillbanks
    Well, it was a funny story.
  4. Trevor Gillbanks
    Try Lion Apiaries in Auckland. Great queens and very quick service. They can get queens to you overnight. You may just need to get them sent to the nearest depot close to you. Or maybe @Maggie James can assist you.
  5. Trevor Gillbanks
    Yep. No problem. Just move them
  6. Trevor Gillbanks
    Not you @Alastair. @tristan has replied with the appropriate suggesting of a correct deck mounting and the reasons for the said suggestions.
  7. Trevor Gillbanks
    Open it up to full width. You video link does not work.
  8. Trevor Gillbanks
    Yeah Right!. Even I made videos, so they must be correct also.
  9. Trevor Gillbanks
    There are eggs in those notches. So there is a laying queen in that hive.
  10. Trevor Gillbanks
    Good point @Alastair. However, in the video it says to go for eggs. I agree with you, however the video is a great example of the technique.
  11. Trevor Gillbanks
    Practice on drones is the easiest way. No damage done if you make a mistake. Us drones are expendable.
  12. Trevor Gillbanks
    Have a look at this.
  13. Trevor Gillbanks
    Best to wait and see what happens.
  14. Trevor Gillbanks
    I would not swap them around until the virgin is mated and laying with capped brood. Too many things to go wrong otherwise. You could end up with 2 x queenless hives.
  15. Trevor Gillbanks
    What? as a cure or as a case of anaphylaxis.
  16. Trevor Gillbanks
    Because of no foundation I would leave it for a week before checking.
