New to Bees (Welwyn Garden City) Hertfordshire.

[Ashley Moore]

Hello everyone,

I’m Ashley, I found an absolute bargain online late last year. I purchased a complete hive with x2 honey boxes, frames complete, stand, suit and all other equipment to get started. Never ever been used. £30

I’m very new to Bees and hoping for some advice where to start? Lessons to do, clubs to join, Further equipment required etc.

I haven’t setup the hive yet due to winter, it’s currently sitting in storage but hoping to set it up April/May time.

All advice is welcomed. I’ve included a few images of what I have.

Thank you

That was a brilliant buy. Join the local beer keepers association and book a course for next year. It will give you some idea of what you ate letting yourself in for. It is a fun hobby but they are live animals so to speak and need to be treated properly. Buy a few good books. A very simple one is Bees at the bottom of the garden. But welcome anyway.
