2 Over wintered 1 made it
The hive is ready to go I have got a smoker gloves and a hive tool(just need a jacket and veil)
Can anyone recommend a good supplier of bees and a queen?? also is it to early in the year for a newbie to start as the weather seems a bit cold still
Im not overly concerned about honey production just yet Im more worried about looking after and keeping the bees safe through the winter
I have done a lot of reading on the subject and feel Im ready to get my feet wet
I can not find a local experianced keeper near to me so I would appreciated any advice

If you have little or no joy buying a nuc do a search on this forum for bait hives.
