Hello to you all.
I am a Beekeeper living in Hampshire UK, and a member of Portsmouth Beekeeping association.
I have 3 colonies, each very different.
All my colonies have Buckfast Queen’s.
I started keeping Bees 20 years ago whilst working in the NHS.
Beekeeping was my way of reducing work related stress.
I am now retired so my Beekeeping activity has become an important focus in my life.
Despite keeping Bees for so long there is still a lot I don’t know.
One thing I have learned is that Bees are wild insects, despite our efforts to have some control over them.
So a lot of our Beekeeping is just guesswork based on past experience.
The more experiences we share, both successes and failures, will help us make better guesses as to how we can help our Bees.
