So now you know the difference from a Queen, a drone and a worker,and where the pollen basket is, just watch out for the Nasonov gland , humans could learn a lot from bees,it is a fascinating subject on self survival
How they get a new queen bee is by getting out the special KY jelly.

G'day all.
Bin "taps aff" yessdi pm and today more or less so far.
Bin workin int polytunnel so got extra sweaty.
Forgot how hard it is for me to work at ground level. After a while, and not a very long while, either my knees or my back, or both at once pain me so much I have to try and work sittin down. Then me flipping legs get in the way.
Anyway repair pieces what I made yessdi have gone in, so the loose poly side panel is now secured to the wood edging round the base, by folding it under and around other pieces of wood which are now screwed down hard to trap it. Touch and go as there was very little poly left to play with.
I split those bits of wood I mentioned earlier, yessdi, by careful use of the circular saw and (watch out, I am going to "swear" now) my (coughs) WORKMATE!!! (and a trestle).
Dunno why so many peeps poo-poo the workmate. I find it useful at times and this was one of them.
I have also seen quite a lot of tradies pull them out of their vans, all beat up.
I'm getting better at using a jack saw, (at 70 I should flipping hope so!) but tbh I don't use one all that often. I use hacksaws, dovetail saw, jigsaw, circular saw and plunge saw more.
So here is "Stan the Handyman's Tip of the day!"
(Get off the floor and stop rolling about you lot!!!)
"When starting a cut in a piece of wood, as usual pull the blade towards you, then ( and this is the bit no one ever told me or showed me) when starting to cut pushing the blade away from you, maintain an 45 degree angle. That way it cuts much more easily and accurately. Once deeper into the cut you can vary it for all sorts of reasons, like to make a cut you want to follow or summat, but that 45 deg angle really does make it cut better, faster and easier."
OK?!
you can go back to the rolling and laughing now!!
Enjoy the rest of the day folks!!

Have a roll along but it's heavy to work with when full, plus lifting it on and off the truck when going to fill it etc, I take two 25 ltr plastic drums as well

What about fitting a (removable) tank onto the truck. And a bit of hose to connect it to the caravan? Then you could fill it up and no humping it back to the caravan.

I object to that. I'll have you know I just had a bath and it's not even summer yet. Although I couldn't see the bottom of the bath when I got out, it was a bit cloudy. Maybe next time I'll have the first bath instead of the oinker.
