Advice to new beekeepers
Starting beekeeping can be quite daunting, what with getting the right equipment and of course the right bees and it is so easy to get it wrong! We therefore recommend that if you are thinking about starting up beekeeping you contact us in the first instance before making any purchases.
So if you require advice, please email pbkaapiarymanager@live.co.uk giving us your details and we will arrange for someone to contact you to discuss your plans.
