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.

Seasonal Bee Inspection
Had my first hive inspections from the seasonal bee keeper, pleased to say that the hives passed with flying colours, i was shocked to see that they only interested in checking the brood and shake the bees violently to get them of in one go as i check mine with love and care, but i understand the short time they have as they visit many apiaries.
I have never seen my bees aggressive the whole hive was like it for about 30 mins after inspection, but my girls did sting the bee inspector twice which even made him smart.
Off to ring my Bee Buddy in Lincs after the trauma.
