Welcome, Calum! Saw your blog - excellent to hear of your experiences in Germany. I've just emailed details of the forum to around 100 beekeepers in Scotland, so I'm hoping that we will have more along over the next few days.

Well done, Gavin, for setting up a Scottish forum.
I'll try to pop in whenever I've got a spare minute.
Good luck with it anyway,
Doris
Wonderful to see you both joining in, Rhea and Doris. I hope that you both get something from it. Doris - the local association area can be for aspiring as well as actual local groups so if you think that an online meeting place is worthwhile I'm happy to set one up.

Hi Gavin

Not done any blogging before so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Hello Doris - are you really from Stromness? Lovely place! What's it like for bees up there? Hope still clear of varroa?
I hereby declare bristol the southern most city in Scotland. :)
looks good folks hope you don't mind an imposter lurking about :)
Can't you find a great-granny from Edinburgh or something?! We also have a man from Belfast hovering in the background. I think that his sister married a man with a Scottish-sounding name, something like that.
I was keen that our primary aim was to provide a means for the Scottish beekeeping community to communicate, rather than siphoning people away from other established fora, and that seems to be going well. Expertise from elsewhere will always be welcome though! Popz was wondering if I had an interest in testing your database for hive records. Feel free to start a new thread on it if you like as there may be others keen to try it.
