Hi all,
Just a quick "hello" as a new bee,
My name is Ian and have been lurking in the background for a while,
I am into my 3rd year with my beloved bees! and it has really taken over my life to say the least!!!!
A friend of mine got me started, and now im on my 11th hive!
I came out of the winter with 3 good hives, I brought 2 nuces, and have managed to pick up 6 good swarms from the first week of May onwards, the last being one on Tuesday night! (all doing very well)
i was called out to a swarm yesterday, and when i got to it the bees had clustered in a ball on a small road, and sadly a van had run it over!! i have never seen anything like it, a very sad sight for a beekeeper.
I am rather lucky in the fact my dad is very very good at making hives! and he now has a full time job on his hands.
He has shown a strong interest in bees too which has been great.
Anyway just thought i would say Hi to everyone, and hope to chat some more soon
