have a look at *th*rnes* and their 'bees on a budget' offer, for equipment.
for bees, I'd advise you to join local beekeeping association, members often have 'spare' bees, and local bees are the way forward !

welcome to the forum, btw!
rgds, Tony ( too far away to let you have some bees)

Hi welcome to the forum
Where in bucks are you I'm on the bucks beds border.
As above check out what you can get off the larger suppliers as far as hives they will be your best bet.
Have you joined a club or have a mentor?
Also the last expence you need when starting out is an extractor if you join a club they will usually have one or two to hire or loan out or you may be lucky and find a member who will help you for your first harvest.

even if you manage to get any bees in next few weeks you are unlikely to need
Uncapping knife, Honey extractor and a honey strainer!!!! unless you can find a full colony for sale with supers.

I have sent you a PM.
