I found this forum over a year and a half ago and it was the friendy and welcoming members, and their patience in me asking all those stupid questions that convinced me to take the plunge.... and have not looked back since.
I can honestly say if I hadn't of found the forum, I probably would not have kept bees... thanks Mark!
Many congratulations - not just to Mark & Co , but also to the many active and informative experienced beeks who take the time and trouble to offer their advice to newbeeks like me.
Your time and efforts are genuinely appreciated, and I think I can safely say that without you all, I could never have reached this advanced stage of confusion (if not senility) so quickly!!
(I suspect they'd be especially grateful if they knew useful help I had got from this site as I am not too convinced I could have done it with just a beginners course under my belt and a handful of books)
I love this site. It has been extremely helpful to me and all my daft questions have been answered with patience. It really is the best place to come for advice about keeping bees, whether you are a beginner or an experienced beek. Thank you admin. X
