Started beekeeping this year with practical classes with the local association. Bought a hive with the intention of my first colony next year. However I was offered a swarm in June so too good an opportunity to miss. Now going into my first winter, hope they survive it. I’ve set up in the corner of a local farmer’s field with enough room for a second hive. By the coast in Cumbria so relatively mild, but wet and windy!!

Welcome. Feel free to ask questions. Don't forget to feed, treat and remove any queen excluders!

Enjoy your beekeeping and now is the time to strap or weigh down your hive for the winter. We know all about the wind up here!
