[QUOTE="Josh, post: 11383, member: 16"] Takaka, fantastic place. Kinda wet at the moment no doubt Welcome to the forum & beekeeping. Standard advice you’ll see all through the forum I’ll summarise below; Is there a local club/group you could join? Have you read Practical Beekeeping in New Zealand (5th edition) Do you know a beekeeper you could have as a mentor? Swarms are cheap, but unreliable in terms of timing. Have your gear ready to go. Seriously consider having two hives. Comparison is a great learning tool, and also a source of rescue solutions. Read the book Don’t be disheartened when the first few hives fail… mine did too. Read the book. No such thing as a stupid question, but expect multiple answers Binge through the forum, lots of good advice Read the book Good luck, it’s a lot of fun and quite addictive. [/QUOTE]
