I see that the general opinion is to start off by doing a beekeeping course but working offshore I can't always fit things like that in easily. How many of you have been successful in learning just from a book. Also my other half want's me to get WBC's (cos they look prettier). I won't be moving...

I'm about to venture into getting my first hive. One predicament I have is that I work offshore and am away for five weeks at a time, I'm not sure if my other half will have the confidence to open up a hive. Would five weeks be too long to leave them unattended? Brian
