Welcome - lots of good and, of course, often conflicting information available here.

I'm curious - have you changed any of your beekeeping practices since coming in contact with your local BKA?

peterpullham · Aug 9, 2016

Yes i have ,although my mentor is very knowledgeable and experienced after going to beginners classes with my local society ,i have changed some of my beekeeping methods.

see you next month as I'm doing a talk for them. Member of West Glam Beekeepers myself.
