Be wary of garden hives. As a beginner you want to gain confidence and avoid getting flustered. My bees are generally docile but for some reason today when I popped by wearing only a veil several angry bees attacked me and I got stung on the ankle! My apiary is 10 minutes walk, 3 minutes cycle, good car access - ideal.
