How it all started....






So the plan for this blog is to chart and follow my progress as a fledgling bee keeper.  

So this is how it all started - a cast swarm in Warwickshire that became our bees.  First we needed to be sure that the queen had mated (a cast is a swarm with an young unmated queen).  At this stage we didn't even have a hive to put them in...

The swarm went into our mentors garden to make sure that the queen got mated and then a couple of weeks later they arrived at the back of our garden.
