I was suddenly plunged into bee keeping when a swarm decided to grace me last July. With the aid of my bee keeper friend, they moved into a new hive via a cardboard box. I had long considered keeping a hive, but needed the nudge. My 20 000 new best friends gave me that nudge. And a few stings!
Now I am reading, reading, reading about bees, have joined an association and am really enjoying my bees. Currently they are consuming large quantities of syrup because they didn't make enough honey after settling in. Hopefully we can get through the winter OK.
After each hive visit I become slightly less green about bee keeping, hence the fifty shades.....
