[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 10416, member: 13"] What Otto said. Also, wether to do a course or not is a matter of if you can afford it. There are good, and not so good, courses. When I started with bees I was a 12 or 13 year old, I didn't even know any other beekeepers at the time, all I had was a very good book on bees. From it I built a hive with wood that I found, ran the hive successfully and made plenty of honey. The modern edition of that book is called Practical Beekeeping in NZ, it tells you everything you need to know i highly recommend. It can be purchased online here [URL="https://www.ecrotek.co.nz/product/book-practical-beekeeping-in-nz"]Practical Beekeeping in NZ (5th Edition) • Ecrotek[/URL] [/QUOTE]
