Yes two apples and a pear next door and several apples (including at least one Bramley and  I don't know if they can pollenate) within 300 yds.

It’s all  pollenating partners/flowering group 1234 or some books may say A B C D. It’s also down to the bees being on one tree and then going to the partner tree with the pollen and you know the rest.

heres a pic I took at a local garden centre a few yr ago. It may help you decide which trees need to be close by or on route of the bees.

I resisted the urge to rob em this year! They should have enough to see them through if the weather turns sour.. didn't really get them to "farm" for honey.. if anything I would expand the number of hives, still take a minimal amount and achieve a higher honey harvest that way. Sugar syrup is a poor food compared to honey. Keeps them alive but I wonder about overall hive health, beats ending up with a hive full of dead bees though.

I believe it’s like a cow, the more you milk the more it produces, but it has to be done at the right time. And the yr has to good to the bees.

i have a mate that says I take the surplus in the spring, he never get anything... if you understand that the bees need it then and use it and there is very little coming in. Yes if you’ve nick to much in the previous yr and the weather turns bad they can starve, but that can and does happen in the wild anyway. That’s why I feed Candi in the spring ?

I’m sure as with any business, if you advertise your services and pitch around  the going rate you will get customers for your services.

I’ve been hoping to be paid to put my bees in places, but unfortunately all of those places seemed to think I’d want to pay them, even thou I drive miles and miles. But I’ve always offed a jar (1lb) per hive. But that’s me asking them  if I can put my hive on there land  not them asking me.

I'm going by our own observation of our own honey bees. Not all flowers are as useful to bees as others, some produce more nectar or more pollen, and when you look at pollen some has higher protein that others. So, honey bees will be choosy and may well prefer a different plant than your fruit trees. Some may well visit them but the bulk will be on something more useful.
 
With regard to the US, thankfully we don't farm like them but I thought it was crops like almonds rather than apples that have huge hive movements?
 
I'm all for people keeping honey bees but I doubt they are necessary for most orchard keepers to ensure good pollination, in the UK at least.

I believe all you said there is true.. watching our hives (all 2 of them!) On the move the last few days has been surprising.. still finding ivy, some long lasting marigolds and borage and even heading off towards the bog, presumably for Heather.. honey bee treatment in the US is shocking and it happens for all types of crop from oilseed rape to oranges, apples, almonds..

Yeh this yr has been mild so far to last yr, I’m wondering if my bees will run short of honey, as I nicked a lot from my bees.?? I guess I can give them some home made candi to keep them buzzing ??

I guess it’s happy days for you from now on.... I’m happy that what ever has fixed it for you.

just remember thou, while filling fuel tank,,,, how much has been used, and how much oil has been used and to what the oil pump turned up to.

You will then be tuned into your saws fuel &oil usage, and will pick up on any lack of oiling, that is how it is for me ?

cheers.. 

edit... nice wood your milling?

. I ran the 880 with brake on and on tickover on the bench the oil is pushing out fine from the oilway. 

This don’t read right,  it should not oil with the break on.

the true sure way to find out if you have an oiling issue is to turn the pump up to max flow, I’m not saying you haven’t done it or turned the oil pump adjustment screw the wrong way.

It don’t matter what length bar you have on it, if it’s set to max it will oil a smaller bar more.

Fill the oil tank up, then fill the fuel tank up with fuel. And go cut wood, till it runs out of fuel. How much oil is left in the oil tank ? That will tell you.

My 660 used less than 1/2 a tank of oil when it had an oil issue.

Silly question, or maybe it is  not if it fixes your prob.   Is it a problem with this valve stuck/blocked 1124. 640 9100. The symptoms are, it oils ok at first , then as a vac builds up because the valve is stuck/sticking it oils less and less.

you could run it a bit then if it seems to get little/less oil, try and open oil filler cap. This would release the vac, then if it oils ok for a short time then oils less again the valve could well be the prob.

cheers

It must be that time of yr, when they get fed, so i’ll Add this

What’s the wid the camel toes. Has Christmas cumm early ????

I can assure you all 3 dogs definitely had legs  , one on each corner . ?

These poor lot aren’t so lucky

As far as I’m aware, you do not need a license for a sub 12lb ft air rifle in the uk. An air pistol is sub 6lb

also if someone makes an allegation, the police have to investigate,  the woman has made some camel toe story up, and police are investigating 

Since this morn,/ afternoon and I asked simple questions , like who, how many guys and how many quotes etc. the op has not replied?? I go out for a few beers,,alright a skin full of beer after all its xmass partying time, and get back to all this,,,and still the op has not replied.

my guess he’s just stirring up a hornets nest. Or embarrassed to reply 

cheers, sleep well cos I will.?

You can see the cherry logs in the L/h side of the pic, also it was covered in ivy ? That’s a pain in its self,  Damson”s don’t get very big, pear well only the trunk was saved. Edit a lot has gone through the chipper.(all the damson and all but the trunk of the pear.

i think 1k is a lot, but how many quotes did you get, and how many guys were there. Oh and did they ask for cash and any have a pikey accents.

I would have ratchet strapped the stem before cutting. No way it can barber-chair then, belt and braces.

I sort of asked the question earlier, but I understand more than one way to do it.

 How many guys and Who was the company,

cheers

What's a mastermind saw Andrew, sounds interesting. I'm still thinking about a 60cc saw, but can't make my mind up between 6100 and 560.

Just put “mastermind meets the dolmar 6100” in google or what ever saw your wanting. If he done it it should be there. 

but on the side note, he used to be on ass-site (arboristsite) not that I have any preference to a favourite forum or unfavourable one. It’s just what I read and what’s. Gone on before..ymmv.

anyhow,  mastermind is just that with saws and has a good reputation,,  you will find him on Ope.com (outdoorpowerequiment) 

ps tree monkey is there. As are others..

you. Will need to Spend time reading some threads ?

Edit  if you read and take note of the tone, your be ok. They do ban peeps will attitudes, unlike other forums like sawhawgz etc.

Seems to me golf course wants rid, and gets rspb to get a licence, which they did. But prolly someone not very experienced got it, and golf course  fells trees and laughs then says not our fault.

but what ever happens it will be a small price to pay for those trees ?

Uhh, operator error ???? well  I’m  happy, you’ve had a happy ending tugging away. Must have put a smile on your face.?

I'm not claiming to know much, but a tree with two stems and bark included ?. And I had thought it was a poplar,  known to be weak and splits.

On the other left hand main stem that he’s not cutting looks like it’s had some branches cut off higher up on the right side. ? Has someone already been up there?.

So should the two stems be strapped together first, and the guy tied in on the main left hand up high while cutting a bit higher on the right sided stem. I know this is all a bit late for the guy in the vid, (not a nice vid and I hope he makes a full recovery) but I would like to broaden my knowledge. Albeit there’s many ways it could be done by different experienced guys.

cheers

Here, somthing to think about , you got up to cs39 chainsaw in a tree, and then you get a MEWP ticket, would a  elf&safety person let you up there and use a saw,, as technically you don’t have the ticket cs47

So what I’m saying/asking  does a cs39 qualification exceed saw in a MEWP ticket. 

Edit it I found the answer

 cheers

Reg, I have seen a lot of your vids, and I have learnt a lot from them. Keep-um coming  ? they are all good ?

I think your a good teacher, even if your not really teaching.  And as always not everyone gets a dry sense of humour. And I love the real time swearing,  we’re all human from different backgrounds. ?

Anyhow I do sniff around for new stuff to watch on YouTube, and  a vid/channel I’ve just started watching is this guy,

 https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCQNyFk9bPVVrNk08mgYlByw   Early days but so far so good, for my enjoyment anyways.

Btw I would expect bucking to say you dropped by one of his new vids soon. And always looking for your new vids ?

Cheers.
