How not to make friends with your local beekeepers
« on: April 03, 2012, 10:46:59 pm »
OH reports a request for help from a local unknown novice who has

*  agreed to buy two bee colonies from someone 40 miles away
*  lives in a flat with no garden and
*  has no transport. 

So she simply needs someone to house two hives of unknown provenance, teach her everything involved to look after them, and offer lifts.  Not so hard then?

Doh! 
Being certain just means you haven't got all the facts
