New Beekeeper in Manchester

[Jonny901]

Hi, I've just started beekeeping and got my first hive on Saturday. I'm based in South Manchester and just thought I'd say hi and find some people to run to when I invariably do something wrong!

Hi Jonny901!

Welcome to the Forum.

I'm in south Manchester also.
I keep bees there, on the roof of Manchester Cathedral, and on the roof of the PrintWorks in Manchester.

I'm also involved with Manchester & District BKA.
Done a course yet? MDBKA do a great intro course.

Shout if you need help.

Dusty

Hey Jonny,

I'm in the Manchester area, Tyldesley so closer to Wigan really.

I have had my bees for three weeks now. And the weather is now predictably crap for my planned inspection.

I am a member of MDBKA and hoping to attend one of the monday evening sessions when I can get to one.

Dusty is very generous with his advice, I can vouch for that, so I am sure he won't mind the odd PM lol

Best of luck, if you need to compare experiences with a fellow noob feel free to shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm in Burnage too Dusty. Just off the Kingsway by the Honda garage.
