New Bee
Hi all,
For some time now I have been interested in keeping bees, mainly for the enjoyment of watching the hive develop and a bit because my grandfather is mad about honey!
I have ordered a book to read through, carefully chosen and it was recommended by a lot of people. I am also looking to buy a set of DVDs to watch. And does anybody recommend any specific courses?
I suppose my first of many questions is how much time does hive care and maintenance take up.
Also would I need to plant specific plants in my garden or do the bees find them themselves
Thank you in advance, this is a hobby I am very keen to become a part of, along with fulfilling a boy hood dream
