I'll apologise in advance but I ramble a little when asking questions and I also apologise if sharing a product links is not allowed, I promise it's not me advertising, just seeking advice regarding it and I'm happy to remove the link if asked.
Preamble:
I've recently been considering beekeeping but the closest I've come to doing so in my life so far is planting bee friendly flowers in my garden. I've looked into handful of things regarding the process of beekeeping and have knowledge regarding the pests and plights bees can face. I do intend on spending my free time over the next month researching all that beekeeping entails before I actually try my hand at it but before that I'll need some advice.
Question:
I found this product ~
www.amazon.co.uk/Mayyou-Bee-Hive-Beehive-House/dp/B07WDBDDZS
and was wondering if anyone can give me some input. As a (not yet but possibly soon) first time beekeeper I'm looking for someone or manyones to look the product and tell me from an experienced point of view if it's worth my money.
I have no experience in keeping bees, so I haven't yet made a mistake to learn from and thus I can only hope to learn from mistakes you may have made, before I go and start making some of my own.
I'm pretty rough on cash at the moment (aren't we all) and can't really afford too far from that price range unfortunately, though I do have moderate joinery/carpentry skills and the knowledge not to use pallet wood as it can contain harmful toxins. I could potentially build my own but that's a whole other discussion, sorry I do ramble often.
Basically is it any good or any bad and why?
Sorry again for the rambly nature of my post and I look forward to you input.
