Two Nationals sounds perfect to me. It is the most common hive type, easy to get supplies, easy to move bees in. Why not get bees this year and do the classes overwinter?Originally Posted by doc
There are beekeeper groups in Lenzie and East Kilbride as well as the main Glasgow ones.
Yes definitely Take bees first chance you get, -- 99% of the time whoever the bees come from will help you as you get started
Poly langstroths !
or maybe that was just me being deliberately obtuse when I started out
Re: which type of hive
I need to look into making poly OSBs ...might be the way forward

Helping a friend with poly hives the other day cured me of any desire to switch from wood
What's the problem working with poly?
there was a hodge podge of poly boxes standard excluders plastic crown boards all strapped together to stop them blowing over
They had to be painted (whats that all about)
Looked more like a selection of fruit boxes piled up at the back of tesco
Wood does it for me. I like the poly nucs though.
I have a few of those a mouse munched it's way in the front door this year (for the first time)
They don't need painting (Paynes)
