It's a standard national. I am very interested in "Natural Beekeeping", top bar hives etc, but it is challenging learning the ropes, so I am staying more mainstream conventional at the moment, where I can get help from the local association. I will be trying to do things in a bee friendly way - I want to keep bees because (1) I am fascinated by the principle, (2) bees are under threat, and a bit more support wouldn't go amiss, and finally (3) I like honey. (3) is not the priority!
Do you keep bees?
