Dear Gilliane I hope to come next week, Helen’s giving me a lift. My bees are
still uninsulated.
Your recording of temperatures was awesome, and an encouragement to insulate. I
am dressing the hive as soon as the oil dries on the boards, soon. I’ll be
interested to see what you have done.
See you next week, thank you
Mary

Dear all
Just to confirm the meeting next Saturday 1st December at my house. The
address is The Map House, Vernon Avenue, Oxford, OX2 9AU, phone 01865 721644
or 07854 761302. The house is the last on the left at the end of Vernon
Avenue and there's plenty of parking in the approach to the field outside - I
recommend reversing up to park at an angle to the hedge boundary of our
garden, so that you're facing the right direction for leaving when it might
be dark. The U1 bus is also an option, with the terminus at the Harcourt
Hill campus of Brookes being less than ten minutes walk away - see attached
map.
If you know you're coming, it would be helpful to know so I can look out
enough cups/mugs for tea/coffee - but do come even without letting me know!
I have one TBH in the garden to which I've added cork insulation and some
records showing the temperature variation in the hive (both above where I
think the bees are and at the other end) compared with the outside
temperature. I also have a second TBH that I'm in the process of insulating
- suggestions for improvement welcome! I look forward to hearing other
people's experiences with winter preparations - and anything else...
Best wishes
Gilliane
