Many snags many plus points! anyone that says they know all about beekeeping is not telling the truth!

Without degrading from this forum, might I point you in the direction of a good beekeeping forum?

jameslindsay · « **Reply #25 on:** February 17, 2010, 07:06:57 pm »

I have 12 goats, 6 of them Pygmy and think they are pure mental. I have a fondness for Aylesbury ducks, I have some of them also Buff Orpingtons, Call ducks, Cayaga and Magpie. They are completely free range and use the river that runs along side the property so have a brilliant life.

Hi welcome fron nw Leicestershire. I don't have the time to keep bees nor really that interested but I did wonder if any local bee keepers would be interestedin having a hive on my land in return for a little honey. Is this something keepers are interested in doing?

Yes beekeepeers are always looking for land, but there are a few points that would have to be ticked to make it a good spot.

Maybe contact your local Beekeeping assocation and offer.
