Hello, this is my first year as a bee owner, I will call myself a bee keeper when I get some honey :). I am aware some suppliers have a few sales towards the end of the year, I was thinking of ordering some poly nucs from P4yn3s do they have a sale is it worth waiting any info would be much...

Hi Everyone, I went through my hive today took my wife hoping she could spot the Queen (still no luck) as it was my wife's first time suited up and close to the bees she did well, they have lots of brood plenty of Honey but not much Pollen, should I feed some pollen substitute or just not worry...

After a few problems beginning of this year I have finally put my hive together :) I have put some lemongrass oil in the front hoping to catch a swarm but I think it maybe a little bit new for that. This time last year I had found 2 swarms but had no hive or training now I am ready no swarms.

I am still trying to decide between wood or a poly hive for next year, with MB having a sale at the moment I am leaning towards the poly Langstroth could someone tell me is there much difference in size between the National and the Langstroth, if there is no real difference on size what are the...
