If your own site has a more local focus then I reckon there's room enough for it too, we ran something similar in Bristol for a little while but started to have concerns that there were a lot of people perhaps taken with the notion of having bees in the garden without too much consideration as to whether it was actually suitable for them to have bees there; or a stranger tramping through their garden once a week for that matter being matched up with Novice beekeepers who perhaps weren't necessarily experienced or objective enough to judge whether that site they were desperately after was actually suitable for them either.
