Hi, as yet i am not a beek or indeed a trainee beek , i am moving to dumfries and galloway area at the end of july. hopefully i will start to keep bee's next year if all goes well , i will be living just outside newton stewart and working in whithorn. would realy like to hearfrom anyone near those area's! (hmm that sounds a bit like an advert on a dating site!!!).
going to look for a local club once i move and try and get some training, we are buying a shop in whiton that apparently has three hives on its roof!!! although i am told they havnt been touched this year so no idea if there are stll bee's in it , could end up a baptism of fire lol

Hi Jason, you will be more than welcome to join the South Scotland BKA (Dumfries based). I can get you the contact details if you wish? Although I suspect your nearest association will be the Galloway BKA, which I really dont know much about I'm afraid.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the number of beeks in the region though, I was!

Funny - we live in Devon and have considered retiring to D&G eventually...must be a Devon thing

in some ways D&G is very similar to devon, we live near a small place called northlew. its probally a bit of a mid life crisis thing! i did consider the normal options like getting an open top sports car and young blonde mistress for passenger seat............but decided what with the price of fuel and the cost of dining out moving house and starting a new business would be cheaper lol
found the perfect house with a fair bit more land than we have now and as a bonus it has 6 acres of woodland and ive always wanted some woodland so well pleased. where abouts in devon are you?

Hi There, are you still looking for employees in Whithorn? I know of the area...which shop is it? I live in Stranraer....my Dad was a bee keeper and I picked up some knowledge over the years so may be of help. Polly Sutton
