This may be of interest to British Beekeepers.
Dr. Rodriguez's mineral oil is known in Britain as Liquid Paraffin.  It is
available in Chemist shops for about one pound sterling for about 150mls.
It is also available from vets at about 4.50 pounds sterling for one litre.
If anyone knows of a better supply please let me know.
