dalthegooner Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Thank you chicken george Either way they had to go . Could you imagine it ? 8 of em at 4 am ffs ... Mind you i should of kept em ....first complaint and i woulda grassed up the dealers next door in case it was them I would imagine the 8 of them would have been loud enough to need ear defenders. When you get more than on they can compete with each other to see who is the loudest, and has the biggest kahunas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzbomb Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Very nice! How much honey do you think they produce and is it a long wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I don't know if you can do it in this country, but in the States, farmers hire bees' to pollinate crops. Might be worth looking into to earn a bit of cash. Especially with the billions of bees' that are dying at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 We found the swarm in the spring ... got them settled in there new hive . I don't know how much you know about bee keeking Buzz , but you have the brood chamber where the queen does her sole job of laying eggs and the honey supers ( chambers) where you harvest your honey from . The queen is unable to enter the honey supers due to a grid with gaps to small for her to pass through, so she can't lay eggs in there . So when you get a new swarm the first job is to get the colony going in the brood chamber then you add the honey supers later..... We should get a fairly good crop in a few weeks , next year will be even better though . Really enjoying it if the truth be told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think what normally happens hear dal, is you you just set up your hives permanently in the farmers crops . As you can't just pick up a hive and move it , the bees would return to where you took them from . I think I can remember reading that you can move the hive 3 ft a day without annoying the colony to much. Still a novice myself so could be wrong .

dalthegooner Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Is it two lurcher's (One a 3/8 and one a 5/8) or is it just one? And what do the 3/8 and 5/8 mean? And yes, I know I'm nosey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer5talker Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Just the one mate thats his breeding 3/8 bull 5/8 greyhound aka a bull x Hope this helped lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That now makes perfect sense, I didn't realise that a lurcher was a cross breed, and that the percentage of the cross breeding was recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzbomb Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I didn't know exactly what a lurcher was, always thought they were border collie/greyhound crosses or very similar dogs so I have some learning to do. The greyhound for pursuit and the border to cut them off at the pass. I've always admired that with a lurcher you can go hunting with just a dog and a sack to put game in and possibly a club to dispatch it with. Not a practical dog in my climate though. Chillfactor I'm sure your honey harvest will be great. What do they feed on, alfalfa, clover? Honey (to my knowledge) is the only food that never spoils.

deer5talker Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 If i am correct a lurcher is a sighthound i.e greyhound crossed with anyother breed to create a lurcher they can be long hair,short,broken coated. The breeding for example the percentages of cross is important to create the dog you require for your sport for example a small fast dog for rabbiting i.e bedlington/whippet or for bigger game greyhound/saluki cross.
