Our advisory leaflet ‘Starting Right with Bees’ has been updated. This leaflet describes the basics of beekeeping for new beekeepers or for those who are considering taking up the craft. It provides a clear, jargon-free introduction into the basic biology and management of honey bee colonies and provides plenty of links of content that beekeepers will find useful as they begin their beekeeping journey. If you are interested in taking up beekeeping, or have just started, and want to know more about the costs involved and how to source and set up your first hive of honey bees, look no further than ‘Starting Right with Bees’.
