Derbyshire (erewash) bee keepers?

[Mujician]

Hi,
I was hoping there might be some bee keepers in, or near to where I live so I could have a look at your hives and maybe help out a bit to find out a little more about bee keeping. I live in Ilkeston and can drive.
Many thanks in advance, Ben

Why don't you contact your local association directly?

Google 'DBKA beekeepers'

Hi Ben. I live in ilkeston and just got my first hive of bees.

Hi I live in ilkeston Tony. I have a bit of a problem. I have just got my first hive. It was a small swarm of bees from a very kind pest controler. I have had them over a month. And realised there is no queen. Is there any chance we could swap a national frame with some brood on it. As my bees will not survive over winter with out a queen. It would be much appreciated if you can help Tony. Ps I live in ilkeston

You may have had a virgin queen with the swarm (small swarm). In which case she would have needed to get mated, then it would take a while to start laying.
