@SheffieldHoney What do you do to prevent wax setting in that tap and pipework?

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@ChrisGPackham @reclaimthepower I'm a great fan of yours Chris, and of environmental issues, but have you got it right this time? Drax burns willow which is grown to burn ( close to carbon neutral) and straw which is a "waste" produce of wheat production???

@HHBeekeeping Similar here

@HeadysFarm Great good to hear that.
It would be interesting to know how many other farmers take that approach to insecticides??

@TheBeeFarmer And Phacellia

@ElmTreeBees I would say yes especially if the growings want a coverage rate higher than is optimal for honey production. With increasing acreage being grown, the market for borage honey is becoming more challenging. + extra cost of transporting to bees borage, yes we need a pollination fee

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@Keir_Starmer No serious change planned for environmental policy

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@kevinhorner4 @Border_Honey Definitely not ok, "hanging on" I think I would describe my season as so far

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@BlackDogHoney Alarming!

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@Deifer82 @ElmTreeBees Hungry bees

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@NorfolkHoneyCo Nope 😂

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@ElmTreeBees @BlackDogHoney Alright alright. But personally I would find another way to earn a crust if presented with that choice. You are made of tougher stuff than me 👏

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@BlackDogHoney @ElmTreeBees Practically every one of Chris's videos, I'm left thinking why! Why does he put up with being attacked day in day out? 😂

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@SheffieldHoney On your bike mate, would be my response. Who is really gaining from this collaboration - the large house builder!

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@ElmTreeBees The farm I was at today must have had 50 or more bubble nests in one cherry orchard - not a single bb seen in there!

[Ponts Honey @PontsHoney]

@ElmTreeBees Yes a few starved - some good riddens, other a pity.
I find all sorts of ways to kill em, floods, mice, queen failure, and starvation...... which in some ways could be described as queen failure. If all rest got through on what I fed them, the ones that don't........
