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.

Hive Checks
My new hive is doing really well,i have added a second super on , its amazing what the weather has done,i am just waiting to get one super capped then hopefully get honey.
The garden hive had a blip a few weeks ago, when i had hardly any eggs or brood so took a frame from new hive with new eggs to get garden hive to build queen cells, all seemed ok as i had two queen cells being built, i checked the hive Sunday and found a queen and about 6 frames of bees, brood and capped, but no queen cells, spoke to my mentor lincsbee, and after chat it looks like i got a swarm moved in.
Just have to wait now to see if they are aggressive bees.
