I've been unable to update the blog for the past two days.....You guessed it I forgot the three things a blogger should keep in memory, the password, the G-mail address and my username!!
At our last beginner's class I was asked for info on wood preservative for hives and suppliers of mesh for varroa floors. For mesh Bill Mundy has come up with this E-mail address J T Wenb Cloth, Banbury and has enquired about Langstroth mesh from them. I have come across this E-mail tony@jtwirecloth.com but I've had no communication with them. As to the wood preservative, on a website "Top Bar Hives By Mike Alsop", I came across the following quote "I recommend a couple of generous coats of boiled linseed oil and wax 20:1 mix". Steve Clack told me that he just boiled up linseed oil and added some ready melted beeswax. Hopefully Steve will be with us on Saturday next and you can quiz him. Apparently you should ensure that the linseed oil dose not burn as this will darken the finished product.
I understand we're expecting theMayor and the council leader at the meeting on Saturday 14th so we want to put on a good show!
See you there - hopefully
Barry
