Wrongfoot
New Bee
Hi,
I'm just starting a plan to become an amateur beekeeper. I know I won't be able to commit to a colony this year because I've other building commitments to complete. So I'm going to join the local Association and learn more with them while building or renovating some hives to keep my setup costs down. Unlike colonies, woodwork projects don't swarm or get ill if you neglect them for a few weeks...
I'd like to download hive plans and information and I think that requires a few posts so as well as a cheery hello, this is the start of a harmless portfolio of replies so I can share the resources that other forum users have provided or linked to. Reading all the other novices problems and issues this year might help me avoid them next year too.
See you all around.
Paul.
