Hi, Libby and welcome to the site. I am hoping to keep bees this spring .I have asked the local council and have permission to keep them on the allotments. If it's ok with you I will be picking your brains over the coming months. But first two of us are looking for a beekeeping course in our area.

Hi Libby,tried seeral time to access your link but it kept comming up "server error" so I think my computers playing up. On the plus side,Ive been introduced to a lady beekeeper "from the other side" (of the mountain that is,shes very much alive and kicking!) and we plan to get together at the Brecon Food Fayre later in the year. Will order the inside bits for the hive in the meantime.
Now, what did I come in here for??????

Definitely interested to hear more about your raised bed gardening - we are in the hills too in Aberdeenshire.
