My wife and I have become interested in keeping bees after a visit to friends in France, we are both complete novices and just starting out. . We have decided this is best time for us to start so we can organize ourselves slowly into starting of this wonderful venture and hobby. I will be keeping the hive at the bottom of our back garden, were I am preparing the area in readiness to place the hive.

14.30 hrs My Bee Buddy called round to sort my Hive out, which I have named LE-PAYNAU after being introduced to bee keeping in 2010 in France, Big thanks to Chris and Rachael.
My bee buddy did a couple of things, first put the entrance to hive the right way round, opps by me, so they now land on the landing board and walk in, he also added a feeder with ½ liter of sugar syrup ( Ikg Sugar to Iltr of water, stir with warm water then store in bottle will keep for ages, good for spring feed. while they get there foraging heads on, but when I checked the bees are all over our ceanothus bush.
I must let them settle now for two weeks then I will go and check the hive.
Added couple photos today.
