Julel, you're a beekeeper? The only thread I've found on bees was started by a kind soul interested in them having watched a documentary. Eventually, maybe you could start a thread of your own, on how you keep them and what you do with the products (I know about honey :mrgreen: but there's wax, and pollen, and .... propolis? ) But yes, you need to get your own preps for this that and the other in order first, fair enough :D

Propolis is a wonderful healing, soothing thing. I have a gel that I use a lot and it's never let me down. Bees make this for the hive as a kind of antiseptic, it can be very expensive, but is worth it.

Looking forward to hearing about bees!

It is not too late i am a late starter too i started to think of it after a disaster of a family members hip operation, freezers full and a powercut but only started to do it actually in 2006 it is not too late, the site of the empty freezers and cupboards does it, think small and it grows, take no notice of those who think big they have done it over the years and started with a few tins, just fill the cupboards and then start to look around for more info.
