Bees and equipment
Hi Derek, Did you find out where to get bees yet?
Hi Derek!
The best thing to do would be to join your local association because they would normally have either nucs (baby hives) or may even know some one who is retiring and have full hives for sale, you can find your local association here...

You also have others on this forum selling packages
You can get rose hives from Thornes or if your handy at the DIY, google "Rose hive planes" and you might be able to find them. I asked the fella that made them and he sent me the plans!
I would like to say a big hello as new to the forum I have one hive that I re queened in July with a Italian queen. I thought as she is very light I would like to go to a very dark queen for hive Two in spring can any one make any suggestions to what variety of queen to go with.
thanks
Gareth
