Hi All,
I am also new to beekeeping. I am currently studying Level 3 Apiculture provided by Land Based Training. My wife and I have recently bought a 1.3ha section, and although we haven't started our build yet, I am keen to plant some fruit trees and set aside an area for some hives. There is an experienced beekeeper in the area who provides hives to the local farmers, and I am keen to meet him and pick his brains. I'll be looking for advice when I am ready to set up my hives, which will probably be next spring, as I want to wait until the initial construction of our property is well underway, and the chances of disturbing any newly setup hives is reduced.
I look forward to getting to know you all better.
Gareth
