Hi all,
I have been reading loads of books and watching youtube vids for many months deciding if I wanted to try my hand at keeping bees.... My wife bought me a 2 day beekeepers course in May for Christmas. So my plans are now to go on the course, Buy a NUC of good natured bees and try my luck....
After reading loads of books and websites and also watching loads of vids I feel that I already know enough to take the plunge into beekeeping as soon as it warms up but I am going to wait until end of May after my course as I have loads of questions to ask then.
One thing I would like to do is get my hive / hives before this and get them painted and sorted before. I am going to go for the National hive and will start with 1 but look to get 2.
Does anybody often sell 2nd hand National hives on here. I have looked in the for sale but none on there.
Im sure I will be asking loads more questions on here over the coming weeks.
Many Thanks Simon
