Bee smokers rejoice ~ it's time for a flamin' and smokin' good time ~

All nonsense aside, I have a {Ute load} pile of pine needles for members if your smoker fuel stores are running low.

Have boxed and bagged it up by the time you read this.

If you are keen to grab some for your smoker, text/call Chris on 0423013863.

I am at Compton Road during the week, and/or can bring some to the meetings.

Hi, I’m asking for advice - is this frame capped enough to extract? Not really sure if you’d say it was 90%.

Hi, I'm looking for someone who may have spare parts for a Flow Frame. I managed to drop one of my frames and now have a hole where both bees and beetles can now freely roam...

I haven't dismantled the frame fully yet but I understand I can just replace the section that's broken.

Thanks,

Martin.

Hello Brisbane Amateur Beekeepers Society,

As mentioned in the last meeting, my name is James Lian and I’m a PhD student at the University of Queensland.

I’m part of the Flavour and Sensory Science group under Prof. Heather Smyth at the Centre for Nutrition and Food Science and my project is comparing the differences in honey from different extraction methods, mainly between the methods used for Langstroth frames and Flow® frames. Our partner is BeeInventive, the inventors of the Flow® hive.

We are currently looking for beekeepers who have access to sources of monofloral honeys and can start harvesting between August and September . Interested beekeepers can apply through this survey. Do note that the survey expires on 23 June 2024.
