We're getting bees tomorrow

At last. We're buying a hive from a bloke who's giving up. Even though I'm only the back up, I'm quite excited  ;D

Brilliant! I'd get a second hive soon though. It's a lot easier to manage 2 than 1, paradoxically, as if you lose a queen you can re-queen from the other one. What strain of bees are you getting?

Excellent. Is it the hive in Kirkcaldy?
