Hi everyone - looking forward to using the forum. I always find these places the best place to get advice and pointers when starting a new hobby
Okay so I have moved into a new house out of the city and have wanted to keep bees for ages and with a bit more room now is my chance. I did a beginner course a few years back and have a good friend who is a bkeep and is going to give me some bees.
Now I need a hive !
Having looked around I am going to go down the poly route and was going to get a p***** poly national BUT I have had a look through this forum and am now confused ! I am not going to be moving my bees around and a few people have advised a Langstroth instead of a national but the guy who is giving me bees has them on national frames at the moment. I dont intend on having more than 2 hives max in the future.
So national poly vs langstroth poly ? Seems to be debated a lot on here.
