Made a start on chopping out the foindation on the hive that failed.

Badly infested with wax moth so had to break out the blowtorch. I think I'll upgrade to a plumbers MAP gas burner this year.

The wax has gone into the warming cabinet, a ceramic bulb provides the heat, controlled by a standard stc 100 controller.

It’s been about 7 years since I’ve had bees, I think it’s time again. I really miss the honey and pollen in my coffee

Just make sure you have time for them.. sounds like you have a lot on.

Maybe offer your land to a local beek, in return for a few jars each season and the offer of help come inspections 😉
