New beekeeping apprentice

[fatshark]

I've always thought that Adrian and Claire Waring's book which used to be called Teach Yourself Beekeeping and is now called Get started in beekeeping - teach yourself is very good. Works from basic principles, includes good coverage of diseases and the principles of swarm control using both conventional artificial swarms and a nuc-based method.

Thanks will have a look for it, funnily enough when I went to look for bees at the Bottom found it already on my wishlist!

Hi Beth - missed this thread until today. Welcome to the forum and to the world of bees. I am a fully paid up bee bore also up here in Aberdeenshire, north of the city. If there is any help you need with anything bee related then feel free to give me a shout.
