Hi , I am doing a beginner beekeeping course. Hoping to get black bees next spring and polystyrene hives x 3. Have enough space and no neighbour problems. Haven’t bought any kit or the hives as yet. This forum looks informative.
OP is in Bucks?just saying hi as I’m also in cornwall ( near mawnan smith ) where abouts are you & who’s course are you doing?
The course was really helpful. I went to the local apiary meeting last night and had my first sting. I was quite pleased ( even though it was because of poor handling of a frame by me) because a) no anaphylaxis and b) not too painful. I know that neither of those reasons is 100% durable but they were faintly in the back of my mind as little worries. My beesuit arrives today - the most expensive item of clothing I have bought for many years. I plan to start my own little apiary next spring - probably black bees and poly hives.Welcome, enjoy the forums. How's your beekeeping course going?
