Hi I've been working overseas for the last couple of years and wasn't able to keep bees. I'm now returning to the UK this summer and will be living in Gillingham Kent. If anyone could point me in the right direction of a good apiary site it'd be very much appreciated. The wife's vetoed me...

I've notices that a couple of my hives have wet roofs, it's as if water has been blown up into the roof space. They are 4 inch roofs. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Anyone doing the module exams next week? I'm doing module 3, it seems straightforward.

Despite my best efforts to insect my bees every week throughout the summer I lost a few swarms – I must do better next year. There must be a better way than haphazardly scanning the brood combs for QCs. Next year I’m considering turning my brood boxes every 6 days or so in an effort to kill...
