North East Worcestershire Beekeepers Association are part way through their annual beginning beekeeping course. I have given a talk on where to site your apiary.
Here is a copy of my presentation. Link to Tim's Presentation
I have been keeping bees at Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire, England since 2005. Hanbury Hall is owned by the National Trust. The bees are in the walled garden which is open to the public from time to time. In 2010 I started to look after some bees owned by the National Trust as well as our own. I don't claim to be an expert, although I have been beekeeping for some time. This blog is the story of our beekeeping.

Making an Observation Hive
I am asked to provide exhibits at a number
of shows and events throughout year. As
far as possible I like to take along an observation hive. It is an excellent
way to allow the public to interact with bees.
People can view the bee colony close up without needing protective
clothing and as beekeepers we can talk about the way the colony works.
