I'm off to Keele today on the first day of my beekeeping course. I'm very excited about it so I won't hang about here updating my blog. I'll let you know tomorrow how it went, and whether I got stung.

Congrats Mel - it's usually a while before a beekeeping association will let you keep bees. They recommend a year's experience, but no doubt doing a course will fast-track you. Where are you planning to keep them? The advice I was given was "somewhere where your neighbours can't see you wandering about in your whites" - as if you're conspicuous you get blamed for every sting (even when it's a wasp)!
I look forward to hearing all about the beekeeping course. A neighbour keeps bees on our land but I don't know anything about it so I will be interested to hear what you learnt.

Welcome to the world of happy flying killer insects :) I'm in the process of re-queening a nuc to try and replace the slightly aggressive strain I'm running with at the moment.
