Hi guys, I haven't been on here for so long (my log in says I was last on in september 2010!!!)! Back then I was a newbie and did terribly! Over the course of my "bee keeping" I tried twice and failed both times! In the end I had a little girly hissy-fit and completely gave up, labeling...

I swear to god, these bees will be the death of me! I've not slept well all week from worrying about them! The 'missing' queen has being playing on my mind so much! Since i'm a newbie and my last colony died, i just want to do well by this nuc! I've already told u all about the evidence of it...

I seem to be doomed with bee keeping! Things aren't going right for me guys! I followed ur advice when i picked up my 6 frame nuc. I put the box in place of the hive, opened the hole and left it for 2days to settle into life in disley! I then put the hive back in its place and put the frames...

I am the worlds worst bee keeper! My whole colony has died! I'm absolutely gutted! I gave them food, a bit of insulation in the roof, but bviosly that wasn't enough, I've obviously made some stupid rookie mistake and killed them all! I have no idea why they've died, unless it's some disease...

Hi Guys, my name's Nicky and I'm a new beekeeper! I just got my very first colony about a month ago! I got it as a double brood hive, with mesh floor, crown board and roof, and that's how I've left it! I checked there was no queen excluder on so the queen doesn't get left at the bottom in the...
