Hello from Somerset

[Katspur]

Hi, we’re newbies at bee keeping, we set up our hive with a Buckfast queen in late June, and so far so good!
We have some questions and concerns about getting winter ready, but as a whole, really enjoying bee keeping and our first hive seems happy and healthy!

Hi, plenty of us in sunny Somerset, welcome and ask away. Then pick the answer you prefer

Yup, enrico is in the soggy flat bit of Somerset; I'm in the wild and windy lumpy bit

Welcome

 

[Garry R]

I'm on the bit near Wedmore and Cheddar - in fact that's our Division of Somerset Beekeepers Association - welcome!

 

[plain_hunt]

And I’m in the hills by Cheddar - so we have a lot of experience between us of different areas!

 

[Murox]

Welcome and greetings from nowhere near Somerset.

 

[beeboybee]

Welcome, I am in the middle between the wet flat bit and the windy bumpy bit.

 

[enrico]

For those of you wondering about the soggy flat bit ....... We actually get very little rain. The wild, windy, bumpy bits get all the rain and the river brings all that rain to the flat soggy bit where, as it is designed to do, it floods! Our ground here is powder dry at the moment.

I used to be in the Southern most sandy clay mix bit, abutting Dorsetshire, but moved, so it doesn’t count any more.

Welcome from Bath, which is sort of in Somerset! (Depending on who you ask!)

I don't think you are a part of Bristol which is the smallest County in England are you. You are Somerset for me

When I was C&E cash officer for Bristol, Bath came under my remit, they didn't have a VAT office just a sub office reporting to Bristol
