How I started!
Well where do I start!
I’ve always been interested in wildlife, birds, bugs & everything else mother nature has to offer.
Where I work there are a lot of damson trees & even a few plum trees & I have also added to the bounty by planting some apple & pear trees too!
The damson would always flower but had never really fruited well & I, never really thought any more about why they didn’t flower*…
I then saw an ad in the local paper for some bees for sale & I thought ‘hmm I have space for one’ So I rung up and bought it!
I quickly purchased a bee suit & joined my local Bee keepers association, which was invaluable (& advisable!) as they were really helpful and very friendly.
Anyways my bees came & I walked with the hive across the field, which was not easy(its full of holes due to chicken’s doing there stuff, mainly digging!), then let them out and left them to settle for a few days.
My hobby in Apiculture had started & my obsession with the honeybee had begun!
*pollination my curious friends!
