There is no facility to directly upload pictures to the forum, which is a shame.
You need to host pictures on another site like imgbb.com and then get the address of the picture click the picture icon above and past the URL between the brackets. A good tip if using windows 10 is open picture and got to three dots top right hand side and select resize, chose smallest option and it fits pretty well.
I'll keep trying on my phone.. The laptop is permanently in use by the children I can't get a look in.

Thank you. I do indeed, its always windy here even when its good weather - straight off the Atlantic - might have been 20+ degrees in the south yesterday but here it topped out 12 degrees during the afternoon.
I meant to ask you whether you are in a varroa free area of Scotland?
I know some parts have yet to experience their delights.

Not completely, however so far I have kept them to a minimum ( like under 10 count) after an oxalic vape.
I had to learn about varroa as they did not exist here when I previously kept bees.

Well noticed Adam....
All Paynes hive parts are gone now. Using Paynes and Abelo's hive was ...shall we say problematic. Now unified to one system. Not that there was anything wrong with either...just needed to have a single hive type and Damien (Abelo bees) is much nearer.
