I am not a beekeeper and I have no intention of becoming a beekeeper! Like many other people I am and always have been fascinated by all types of bees. I enjoy the YouTube videos of JP the beeman, 628 dirt rooster etc. I also like Laurence Edwards 'No Nonsense Beekeeping' and other UK beekeepers videos. I put up my Swarm Trap in early April and was becoming a bit disillusioned, but have now had bees poking around it, but it has been extremely windy. There has been four local swarms that I know about, one just around the corner from me that a local beekeeper collected. I have also bought myself a 'seconds' National Brood Box plus frames and made a solid floor as per Laurence's video as a backup. Unfortunately, it is 221mm deep so I will have to source a 'shim' of sorts as the frames are almost resting on the floor!!!
