Welcome Barbarian; I want to pick your brain regarding some British beekeeping practices. Will PM you before I put you on the spot though! ;D

Glad to see you made it.

Now, we have England, Israel, but haven't seen anything of Ajaz from India or Markles from Africa.

Anybody know how to contact them?

Thanks for all the welcomes.

No flooding in my area but the ground is saturated. Apparently our recent gales and downpours are caused by a block of cold air in North America which is boosting the force of the Jet Stream. I feel for anyone under that cold ---- beekeeper or not.
