advice for a novice

thats not the RBKA, see above

never said it was jezd! but it is a local beek group and at the point in time I posted there were no better suggestions!

(and dare I say, at least this site is live )

thanks for the answers, i've got a lot of research to do...


another question (sorry)

it gets quite cold on this hill side in winter, would a double walled hive provide better insulation?


many many thanks CW

If you are on an exposed site then yes double wall or poly is part of your answer but shelter is a plus too.

Best goat fodder seems to come from dustbins if goats get their own choice.... LOL

Bees and horses do NOT mix. Can be fatal.

we've got a spot out of the wind and quite dry but it gets cold, very cold (we hit -14C a few weeks back)


many thanks CW

Was -14 here last week.

Cold is not actually what to worry about, but damp.

Hi there,

The site you linked to is mine. It was setup as a test really, with vaguely appropriate-looking content. Later, if it became popular, I was going to suggest something similar to the RBKA.

I had no intention to mislead and certainly no intention to pretend I was anything to do with the RBKA, so apologies if you got the wrong impression.

Neil.
