Hi all,
I'm new to beekeeping, so please be gentle with me if I ask a dumb question. I'm based in the New Forest and I'm hoping to set up my first hive shortly. I'm just looking at suitable plots to start with. Luckily a friend of mine has been keeping bees for many years and is going to mentor me. I've been reading posts on here and it is fascinating. Just the different hives and set ups is mind boggling. Still, looking forward to learning.

Hi , I too have just started on my bee keeping journey and have to training apiary days coming up
I also see you are very local to me
Did you do the NFBKA beginners course ?
Hi.
I'm waiting to hear back from the NFBKA about membership. A friend of mine has been keeping bees for 30 odd years and has taken me under his wing. Are you a member? If so I look forward to meeting you 👍

At the moment an associate member as don’t have bees but as soon as I do then I’ll upgrade to a full member.
They are a very friendly bunch
