Hi fellow beekeepers

I am watching the Preseli mountain burn away and thought this a good time to suggest you take extra care when lighting your smoker or putting it down.

It is too easy to start an accidental fire while everywhere is so dry. I take a stainless steel bucket with me and put the smoker inside that, I am also fortunate that my apiary has plentiful water nearby.
