Hi all,
Having been whining on about beekeeping for an age now, the family bought me a beginners course with a BKA at Christmas, and then shed-loads of beekeping kit for my 40th birthday (July) ... so thought I'd better keep my side of the bargain and get hold of some bees. (See here)
From a nucleus I obtained in mid July, I now have a (hopefully) strong colony to go into the winter with, and am learning, learning, learning as much as I can, as I go along. Of all the literature I keep going back to though, it's "Beekeeping for Dummies" - great stuff.
I'm look forward to engaging with everyone in the Beekeeping forum, and would certainly welcome any contact from likeminded souls in the East Midlands area !
Thanks for looking in !
