    What does it mean when bees out of hive in a cloud?

    Just had a call from my friend who started keeping this year, his bees are out of the hive in a cloud above the garden.... are they swarming? or is something else going on?

    Black honey bees.

    Hi all, can anybody tell me anything about "black" honey bees? I am being given a nuc containing a small swarm of black bees tomorrow. I am wondering about their likely origin, temperament etc... I am only a beginner, so apologies if this is a "no brainer" to most of you, I'm sure it won't be...

    One brood box or two?

    I hope not another daft question... As you know I am reading the only book I have on the subject... and you all said that I shouldn't take it too literally as it is geared more to a US market. But it is saying that when you have had your first bees for a few weeks, you should add another "deep"...

    Yesterday I had my first ever introduction to real live bees... I have to say, it was a day I will never forget and it was brilliant, but I digress. I want to join a beekeeping association in order to learn as much as possible, but the one I was going to join has an affiliation with the BBKA...

    Ants??

    Spent last night talking to anyone who would listen about my desire to keep bees, and was bought down to earth with a thud when I was reminded of the gigantic ant colony I have in my garden. I was told that they will dessimate my hive... albeit by a rather intoxicated listener that has no...

    Hello, I'm new and want to learn...

    Hi there, I stumbled across this forum while trying to find out all I can about keeping bees. I want to start it as a hobby, for two reasons really. I would like to think that in some small way I would be helping the honeybee as it is such an important part of the food chain... and secondly, I...
