Hello from UK

[swyftie]

Hi, I'm Jon,
Completely new to beekeeping. I attended a winter course and was hooked so have taken the plunge.
After joining a local beekeeping club, I received a free nuc of bees from a fellow club member yesterday and am now overwhelmed by the amount of responsibility I have to keep the little things alive. But I am also really excited about what lies ahead although I understand it'll be a steep learning curve.

I have also signed up for the summer beekeeping course so alongside tending to my own bees, I'll be taking part in a 17-week course at my local apiary.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum and a new addiction.

Welcome Jon, it's a fascinating hobby but it's never like the books say - fortunately, you've found the best bee forum on the planet and there's always people around to help when things don't go to plan - never be afraid to ask, Better to ask if you are not sure about anything, we all started somewhere. Philip.
