New Bee
Hi all I’ve been thinking about setting up a bee hive for the last year now just as a hobby nothing to big (to help the bees in our area of Manchester)
I did a little bit way back in the 80s with my granddad on his allotment he had 4 hives i remember little bits he told me not much so I joined a beekeepers ' association and I have to take the beginners course great I thought get some firsthand experience but frist ones all booked the next one it does not start till the end of September and I was about to preorder a Nuc of buckfast bees and a British standard hive but I can’t do anything with the association till the end of September
So I was thinking of setting one up till I can get in in September someone told me it’s better to have 2 hives than just one hive is this true or is it better to start with one
please dont laugh if I ask some weird questions (I have watched a couple YouTube videos)
Thanks all Jason
(Ps) any advice would be greatly appreciate ie are they the right bees .should I wait till September and don’t rush in to quickly I just don’t know
