Hi, after doing an on-line BBKA course last year with my local association and moving home, I am now in a position to start a small apiary at home.
I am waiting for some flat packed national hives and equipment and have prepared an area of the garden.
I have been given a mentor and enjoying my semi-retirement by reading a lot of background books. Any suggestions for further reading would be greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Simon

This is as hands-on and real-world as it gets while still being written down;

Welcome - The Apiarist

For a few tips and a giggle go to blogs on this forum, authors and then my avatar.

Read "what did you do in the Apiary today" tread on this forum. It covers 12 years and is very very good.

Hey Simon, did you get all these ready to start soon? Would be glad to hear some updates.
