OK, thought I would give this a go:), I've always been interested in bees from very young when my grandfather had a couple of hives that the grandchildren were never allowed near! Last year the plight of the Honey Bee was televised quite a bit and bees caught my imagination again. A book called simply "Beekeeping" by Andrew Davies and published in association with the National Trust was thrust into my hands and I was hooked. Next came a visit to a local beekeeping afternoon for beginers and there was no looking back:).
At this moment in time I have bought a flat packed hive off ebay, built it (in my lounge!) and put it out back to gauge my neighbours response, so far so good, all seem quite interested, maybe when forty thousand bees are in residence there might be a change of mind?:)
