I don't know many of the members of Guilford Beekeepers association so I don't know Olav. He's not listed as a member on this site. Sounds Swedish, or Norwegian though. We extract borrowing the equipment of a fellow beekeeper, who is a member. His extractor is modified to fit medium frames, so my hu...

Based on advice from another beekeeper, I am converting to two deeps and will add queen excluder/shallow honey supers on top of that.

Is anyone planning on checking their hive for brood, health of the queen, hive etc. any time soon? I haven't been in mime all year and feel I should, but I'd like to watch someone else do this before I attempt it. Thank you for the welcome to the forum, Wally, it encouraged me to join and participat...
