Hello from Manchester

[Dharma66]

Hi,
Quick post to say hello.
My wife and I attended a basic course a couple of years ago, and just started with our first nuc a couple of weeks ago.
Looking forward to reading and keeping up with these forums!

Let us know how you get on and ask before you make rash decisions!!!! Welcome

Well, it didn’t work out for us I’m afraid…
We’d gone into the venture with a guy from our allotment society, but several differences of opinion have meant that my wife and I have decided to leave him to it.
So we’re now looking for a new location to start on our own.

This can happen
on the plus side you learn by your mistakes .
as the song says,
pick yourself up , dust yourself down and start all over again !
Find A location . Visit The Dower house Heaton Park. Manchester.
get to know the beekeepers .
take your time , you will find a reliable mentor to guide you through the basics and introduce you to the craft in the time honoured way .
A good start makes beekeeping a lifelong enjoyment rather that an experience you wouldn’t readily repeat .
Best of of luck my friend . From little acorns , mighty oak trees grow !

Thanks, we are members at MDBKA, and it’s where we did our course.
Unfortunately, they haven’t been able to hold meet-ups since we finished our course just before COVID.
I do “speak” with them regularly, though.
