Thanks for the information. I think I understand it now, I saw the picture on the site Uli linked to, and re-read Storch's passages about it. There's actually...
Heat generated by friction will accelerate this process greatly whether you use the oil raw, with additives, or simply boiled with no additives. This last...

The April 2008 issue of 'The New Zealand Beekeeper' (Vol. 16, No. 3) arrived today and in it was my article 'Sustainable and bee-friendly beekeeping' about the...
David, Thank you. I never thought about checking the fabric store. Feed bags are no longer made of burlap, and the stuff at the garden center has very big...
Thanks pointydog. I'm going to try and find some acceptable burlap before settling on the weed barrier. I'm not sure the weed barrier would take the flour ...
Just to let you know, the local (Oregon, USA) fabric store has regular weave burlap for about $2.99 a yard in 60" rolls. Sometimes they offer a 40% off...

Slogging through the Warré roof threads, it seems somehow that what sublimation is all about got lost. Back to Physics 101: Sublimation is the "transition...
David: "what do you think about registering something like warrebees.org, or warrehive.org?" I would recommend the (.com) domain suffix if you can get it. It...
David I am surounded by willow, adler, blackthorn, fruit trees, some in flower early, and oilseed rape. My 5 hives are in a corner of the orchard sheltered by...
