My name is Diane and this is my sixth year of beekeeping. I use mostly wooden nationals but have got a couple of poly hives to try out.

Hi Diane, I'm Jim, beekeeping 11 years and. Downsized from 15 colonies on two sites to two WBCs in the garden, currently just 50 yds from the North Sea.

Hi All, i'm John got my first colony around 5 weeks ago, They are in a Langstroth and I have another hive and spare boxes, for the future.

I'm Pat, beekeeping about 15 years and now keep around a dozen colonies on Nationals and Commercials.

Hi All, only started this season, have 2 National hives 1 with a caught swarm and 1 with a purchased nuc, have additional 2 Nationals ready for next year.

Hi I'm Paul and this is my first year at beekeeping. I started of in April with 1 hive transferred into a poly hive and 1 nuc. I now have 7 hives. Have had a great year with all hives big and strong and 15lt of honey harvested and they are still producing honey.

Hi everyone . I'm Dawn and only one hive at the moment, a national with deep brood box.
Hoping to get a lot more in the near future. I'm a member of peterboutgh bka and BIBBA .

Hi Dawn, Welcome to the forum. Will you be going to the BIBBA conference next month? I went a couple of years ago and would like to do this one but it's looking unlikely this time for me

Hi vicky here from Shropshire, 2nd year with 2 hives. Had one super of honey from strong hive this year, hoping to get both through winter.

I'm Simon and I've been keeping bees for about 14 years and in poly hives since 2009. I'm also a BBKA Trustee and founder of Bee Good...
