You can sterilise your hives by just giving the inside a scorching with a blowtorch (your version very very extreme haha) or even just scrubbing them with a bleach solution. Also you can save your wax by boiling up some water and just melting the wax from the frames in a big container, the gunk will sink into the water and the wax will float and harden as the water cools. Save your wax in a large ziplock bag to stop the moths from getting to it. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas :)
Happy new year to you both, are you keeping warm up there as is cold enough here and that east wind doesn't help. Is ok for you Howard you've got your movable hot water bottle at night, Eve, I have nothing so makes it harder to keep warm and still trying to find one but not easy.
@@robertlee6479 enjoying the sunshine up here! Happy new year to you - I hope it brings you peace, prosperity & perhaps a "moveable hot water bottle"! All the very best!
Happy Christmas to you! Thanks for coming on the journey!
Hope everyone had a good Christmas! I cleaned the beehives with homemade bleach, then torched every bits. It's now ready to use for the spring.
