Please allow for time to get in touch!
A beekeeper needs at least 24 hours notice to shut in the bees! 48 hours is better.
It has to be done the night before spraying is planned.

Alan Campion's essay on the Lincolnshire Beekeeper whose "Frow Mixture" recipe,
so generously given to all beekeepers at no benefit to himself, turned
the tide of "Isle of Wight" disease, now known as Acarine disease.
There is an unique archive of Frow's Books and other reference material
formerly held by the Library of the Riseholme [Lincoln] campus of De
Montfort University and now in the care of Thorne Beekeeping Supplies (UK).
