Hi All
I've wanted to keep bees for a few years now and have finally moved to a house where it's possible. We're now in Normandy in France and at last have a decent sized garden with loads of flowers surrounded by countryside.
The only downside to my beekeeping plan is that my work requires me to be away in the UK for 2 or even three weeks at a time. As I would plan to start with two, possibly three hives, is that too long to be away from them during the summer months? If it is, I'll have to wait but I'd love to get going with a new hobby.
All the best
Joe
