New Bee
Beekeeping is a lot more complex and in-depth than it first appears!
I'm looking into beekeeping but could do with a little help deciding on hive types please.
A little about me:
I'm only looking to do this as a hobby with 1 hive if possible. I know most places recommend you start out with two but how necessary is that?
I live in the suburbs with a medium-sized garden surrounded by plenty of flowers and fruits (neighbour is an avid gardener, luckily for me!)
I'm 22 so not too worried about things being difficult to lift etc
I think the two I'm looking at really are Nationals and Top Bars.
I've been looking around and there's so much new language to take on board that it makes choosing which to buy really difficult. I'm also on a budget so I'm really looking for the cheapest option.
If I could get an all-in-one starter kit that would probably be ideal but if you can point me in the direction of what I need to go with what that would be super helpful.
Basically any information will be of help! Thanks
