This forum is provided for the benefit of beekeepers internationally, and particularly welcomes input from beekeepers in Scotland. Like all internet discussion fora it can contain humour and banter that may not be appreciated by all. The only rule is not to be abusive. The ethos of the forum is that posters should self-moderate as far as possible rather than be subjected to editorial interference. Naturally, the views represented here do not represent those of the SBA.
