Tara.F Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Finally, after ten months of attending the local bee club, courses, saving (and spending) I have finally got my bees and installed them on my allotment! They are still in their nuc for a day or two to settle down before I transfer them into their permanent hive and I'll have to feed them syrup for a while but they're here at long last! I am a very happy bunny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Congratulations - I remember the excitement (and anxiety!) You are about to embark on a fascinating hobby, I really wish I'd done this years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Well done you. I agree with Olly.......... wish I'd done it years ago too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Congratulations Tara. It really is a most fascinating hobby. I also wish I'd done it when I first thought of it many moons ago. A bit like chickens really. I wish I'd had them earlier too. Oh and the houserabbit. Now what else can I get into much later than I would wish?

eghambee Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Congratulations! I'm a month in and, despite various levels of anxiety, all seems to be going well - "my" bees seem very calm and tolerant. Not sure they're really mine, I suspect they're doing their own thing and putting up with me really! Feeding them here too, if Sainsbury's are monitoring my Nectar card they'll be wondering what on earth is going on with sugar purchases - not something I normally buy much of! Must check out the bulk deal from my bee keeping club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Wonderful isn't it. My first year with bees too. ( I used to work at the vets in Egham) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
