Hi there...I'm a total novice at beekeeping, but have been wanting to give it a go for years. I'm about to join the Moray Beekeepers and attend their Intro course in August and hope to start up my own colony as soon as is practical after that. Any information regarding costs of bees, equipment, hives etc would be appreciated. I aim to have my hive at home in a large (1 acre) garden, but was enthused by some photos of folk taking their bees to the heather; now, I just live a short stroll from Bennachie...hmmmm...?
A'ra best
