  • A rubber cargo mat full of honey

    I'm do beekeeping as a hobby and was removing some hives from a shed on a family member's farm. The shed had been plastered without insulating the cavity and 4 separate hives had moved in.

    I took two hives home with me strapped down in the back of the prado. To move a hive you cut out the comb, put it in wooden frames, put the bees and frames in a box (hopefully with the queen), then wait until dark. When it's dark all the bees are in the box and you can tape over the entrance and move them.

    These were really productive hives with lots of stored honey. Unfortunately after a long day in a beekeeping suit in a hot shed I stuffed up and put some uncapped honeycomb into the boxes upside down (that's my guess anyway, honeycomb slopes downward so the honey doesn't run out).

    Long story short I arrived home to find at least 2kg of honey had leaked from one of the hives into the back of the prado. It had filled the toyota rubber cargo mat right to the lip. The mat felt like the best mod I'd done at that point

    I hosed it off the next day, but I hate to think what it would have been like without the mat. Good luck getting that much honey out of carpet

    A couple of pics, one of a hive after pulling a section of plasterboard down, another of the box after moving the hive into it. Next time I'll snap one of the hives in the prado.

    Hi Malloc
    You can have the bees. Bees and snakes are in the same box to me.
    Lucky having the rubber mat, save a lot of discussion with SWMBO.
    Cheers
