This might make a nice members poll question. How often do you requeen?

Zac, the Canterbury club sometimes takes a few days to reply (they did with me anyway), most of the meetings are on Saturdays. I live in Canterbury but am also a beginner but feel free to come and visit my hive. PM me your email.

Where abouts in Canterbury are you? The local club meets once a month and can be found here: http://canterburybeekeepers.org.uk/ Often swarms that are caught in the local area are given to new members as a priority if they don't have any bees yet. Hope you enjoy the journey. GA
