Hi there !

We certainly will need your expertise if the near future because we joined (with the OH) .. the Suck Valley Beekeeping Association ... and it's really great ..

We learned how to build a N*ke (can't put the real name of you will have the CIA spying on us :lol: but just replace the * by U).

Now I have to build a hive before February to accommodate the swarm.

We'll place it on the bog so it's gonna be Heather honey mainly ! hummm ...

Welcome to the site !
