This year I enjoyed my first year as a beekeeper. I had some issues and a steep learning curve. My winter passion is woodwork and I spent last year building WBC and National Hives.
The WBCs which are in the garden of the Big House have been a success. (His lordship insisted on WBCs for aesthetic reasons).
Having talked to a couple of local beeks I am going to experiment with Dartington Long Hives. I have purchased the timber for a couple, extremely economic!! and will start when thrown out of the house on Boxing Day.
Does anyone have any help, tips, advice they are willing to share with me?
Is there anyone out there who will admit that they use DLD hives?
