Present ideas for new beekeeper

Sounds like you need a 'Beetoken'.

Similar lines to booktokens redeemable at reputable suppliers everywhere. One minor point is that they don't exist yet, but I could fix that if there was demand.

Get her a small dog.... Lots cheaper.
They dont sting, or swarm, and you can take them on holiday without worrying about them.

In my experience - rubbish!!

They can bite. (Bees don't).

Need to be fed (much more often/regular than bees).

Breed (unless special precautions are taken).

Dogs on holidays? Not abroad, you don't! And into kennels is a big expense. (Bees? just forget them for the duration of the holiday they will look after themselves).

indeed they do Rab, but the new beek will still worry...

Are we talking winter holidays? Cos I made the mistake of going on holiday in summer to find I had lost 2 swarms whilst away. They went crazy for swarming

a shed to hide all the future MM/T/P sales purchases in?

Make that a VERY LARGE shed.
