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.

Weekly Hive Inspection
Did the weekly hive inspection with Linda today, weather not good but had a 1hr sunny break.
The brood box is doing well, and we have seen the queen on Frame 2, great., the two supers are going well, one now has 3/4 full frames of honey, the second super they are drawing out the frames.
Bees were and are still very calm, no stings .
Next inspection Linda will do the whole hive and i will watch and help, its great she is so good with them and we can both do alternative weeks when checking.
Picture is of couple drone bees.
