teeny   10 #2 Posted May 23, 2019 Join the beekeepers association , you have to have permission to keep bees from the allotments office . the beekeepers association run course during the winter  and are well worth attending . If you go for secondhand hives they must be properly cleaned or the bees could be infected . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
