Default always fancied a go at bee keeping

always wanted to keep a white house made of wood for bees, .
might try down at caravan because its set in woodland and our garden is too small and it might keep bees in one place as to speak
What do you need to start.

Bees

Suit

You would have to find the same equivalent in England.

Reading is the way I learned about taking care of them. They are so interesting, that the reading about them is fun. I got so well read on them, that Schools used to have me do programs telling the kids about them. I also did one for the Kiwanis Club at Poteau, Ok. Wife and I had the nickname of the Bee People. Beeman and Beewoman.

You'll love learning about Bees. They are the most fascinating thing I know. Anything that can take what is in a outhouse and turn it into honey is remarkable. My Uncle was a Wild Bee Hunter. He would go out unto the woods and pee on a stump, or log, and watch which direction the bees went when they left, and follow them to the tree.
