Bought some plants, Talk and books by BIBBA and a few free magazines,Free Seeds for meadow Flowers, Met some really nice people, beautiful Hall and gardens, Good accommodation and facilities, Tea and coffee laid on, Vegetarian food was good :bee: :bee::bee::bee:

It looks like you had fun. You could make a Langstroth long hive…then all your equipment will fit and they are good for doing A/S and splits too.
