Bees

Since we moved back down here (4 years ago), we have been keen to have bees. We have been on a couple of courses (thory and practical) and have a mentor and we are crossing our fingers that this is the year!

The hive is going tomorrow and will hopefully, come back with some bees within the next couple of months!

I would love to keep Bees. I know a retired vet that I used to work for kept 5 hives, and I used to love and watch him.

Best wishes with your venture xxxx

Lol! I do have a suit but probably no photo lol! I remember when we bought it and Rob tried it on. Sam must have been less than a year old and he started crying as he was scared! Lol
