Is it heading up this way? We have to check the hive today to see if our new queen hatched ..... I think we'll do it sooner just in case.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to wear something to identify us as a forum member at these sales, there would be loads of folks tapping each other on the shoulder and saying hi  :wave:

Sounds better  8)
Are you going to the September sale for a look-see? I reckon we need a universal badge with a list of forums on it as so many of us are members of more than one.
