Hi everyone
I am in the early stages of this bee addiction that has obviously gripped you all I plan to do some courses early next year and in the meantime am reading every bee book I can lay my hands on and have already learnt lots from this very useful forum...... plus OH and I plan to give hive building a go over the winter and hopefully take the plunge with some bees during 2013.
I wondered where you all site your hives, we can't have hives in our garden as although in a village surrounded by fields, we also have close neighbours either side.
Are any other beekeepers in a similar situation? I am hoping that one of the local farmers/land owners will welcome me putting some hives on their land, I have read that this is common practise with beekeepers and wondered if it would be easy to do and if farmers would welcome this?
Any advise/guidance/pointers would be very welcome, thank you all.
