Thanks for the recommendation Moobee😊

Has anyone in counted any losts or damage to there bee hive equipment due to theft or vandalism? Especially those who keep bee hives on farmland.

Thanks Phill16359, I'm type of person who likes to research before taking a leap of faith, I find it gives me a better understanding of what I'm doing. But practical is always best way to learn.

When I was cutting back the ivy on my fence, I noticed some large wasps come flying out. Have you seen the anti wasp bee bottom hive base by black mountain honey on you tube? Maybe worth a watch might help.

Hi Holmbee, I don't have any experience in hives and that's something I'm looking forward to learning about. I just like the Langstroth type maybe because I feel the bees have more room and seems to be used worldwide. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you Arfermo, Sorry to hear about your wife. I'm always grateful for any recommendations or knowledge and learning is key in any hobbie. Much appreciated.

Thanks Ericbeaumont, One of my favourite insects is bee's not just honey bee"s and I enjoy eating honey that doesn't mean I will enjoy keeping bee's even though the idea is tantalising. But even though if it doesn't turn out, I'd like the idea I've given a place for bee's or giving a chance for...

Thanks BBC for the recommendation.

Hi Buzzing44 and welcome. I don't know if you have chosen a local bee club yet, but the Norwich and District Beekeeping Assoc Bee Hives | The Norwich and District Beekeepers Association | Norwich is hoping to start practical sessions for its members in a new apiary at the UEA, starting in May...

Must be awful knowing you have AFB/EFB and has me concerned when starting out. Varrora seems to be the most common followed by Chalkbrood. Still reading up on these diseases ect.. Want to be fully prepared and know what I'm looking out for.

Perhaps I'll get a better prospective at my local bee association when I start to attend meetings, I hope I'll get to work using some of there different hives, think that be best. Thank you for the book recommendations 😊

Such a fountain of knowledge much appreciated thank you, I have a question about hives poly or wood? But I do like the poly as added temperature control for the colony. Nationals hives seems to be the choice for many, I do like Langstroth and especially the poly hives from Modern bee keeping...

Past of wake Something I'm quite keen to learn is about diseases and pests and how to treat them Like AFB and EFB thanks for that 👍

Brilliant! and thank you Pargyle

Hi PargyIe, I am planning on going to our local bee keeping association soon and try some hands on approach. Id like to get a little know how and a headstart before attending.
