Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I think Rosemary went on one last year - Doune and Dunblane beekeepers.  But I have to be honest, after reading about all the hassle collecting the honey and timings and looking after the bees I think I'm going to pass on this.  Probably got enough on my plate anyways. ::)

Edinburgh and midlothian bee keepers run one from March to May, one evening per week for £40, at Broxburn.  I have requested details but haven't yet received a reply.

Dunblane and Stirling Beekeepers are running a beginners course. I went last year and it was excellent. I'm kind of toying with the idea of doing it again but it's a hell of a hike from here. If you are in the area, I'd highly recommend it. Really nice, helpful people. I'll be keeping up my membership even though we're out of area now.
