Hi
I want to be a bee 'carer' and look after beees in a ntural way in a top bar hive, but i need someone who can show me the ropes. i wold like someone who can show me how to check for disease and how to treat nturally, what i do if the bees are unhappy and how to split a hive before a swarm happens... how to recognise the w=queen and queen cells.
I want my bees to be happy and healthy, so i need someone ptient who knows what they are doing, that i can trave to, who can liturally show me thir hiv and bees and give me advice
I WILL GLADLY SwOP SOME HOME MADE CIDER VINEGAR AND WHEN THE SEASON ARRIVES MY APPLES AND BLACKBERRIES, AND MAYBE JUICE.. as an exchange.
thankyou so much.
HANNAH |

so much can be learnt from watching you tube clips, I follow this fella, my way of looking after my bees with no treatments, even though I do use those nasty square boxes you think the bees are unhappy in
take a look

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
