Any bee keepers here?

[Woofage]

Thinking of taking the plunge... Mrs W and I are booked on a course next w/e.

You could message poly hive?

I think the clue is in the name (although how that goes with running a B&B I have no idea).

I kept bees for about 10 ears until the dreaded varroasis jacobsoni (apparently now classified as a separate species, v. Destructor) wiped my hives out.

Who is running your course? I did a number of courses at the Writtle Ag Coll with a S. African guy called Clive de Bruin.

If you do take the plung don't buy kit unless you ask me first. I've got several complete hives plus assorted other stuff stacked up at home all in good nick. I'd like it to go to a good home.

Excellent  . I'd be delighted to get it in use again. I'll drop you a PM later.

My mother used to keep bees. Evil ones she trained to pursue small boys. I think.

Helly is right.  But Swarm_catcher is busy cycling in Belgium this weekend.

I keep bees yes and long before I started the Guest House. A wee tech point but a B&B is 3 letting rooms or less. More is a Guest house but that gets complex with licencing issues and hotels.
