Found this forum whilst wandering around. Seems like my kind of space.
Bought my first bees 1970 - Taylor's Italians, went double brood national then went Buckfast in MD's. Did pollination moving bees from Manchester to Kent.
Retired from a day job 20 years ago to west wales and went back to single brood local bees then to 14x12 because of varroa management using drone comb and oxalic acid and am now in the process of making 12" deep insulated roofs. That's 40 odd years of potted history. Hello everybody!
