We have a complete mixture - our main hive type is Langstroth, but we also have 14x 12's, Top Bars and Nationals..along with a Beehaus and a WBC.

Its a great hobby, but swallows up time and money!

Good luck to those who have started beekeeping...this year is a fantastic year so far!

Hopefully, we are getting a nucleus of bees next weekend. A bit nervous but at three same time looking forward to the whole experience.

Got my hive set up and off to collect a nucleus this afternoon.

Not sure how it is going to work out but it will be interesting. .... and the sun is starting to shine.

Hi Orfy, you've not been around for a while, how's things.
Did you ever get a hive?

Somewhere there is a more up-to-date beekeeping thread by Fabinda. Blowed if I can find it though.

Got it now. not Fabinda, it's Fabindia
