A Beehive in youyr garden

Have any readers here thought about keeping bees, in their garden.

I recently attended a beekeeping course, which I found most interesting.

I initially thought I could keep a single hive in my garden, there's one wee spot which would be ideal. However, I now know keeping a single hive is far from ideal. Starting out with two hives is the preferred option.

I am therefore in a bit of a dilemma ... wanting some bees, but have nowhere for a couple of hives.

I assumed, if I had this problem others might have too, so I have just set up a small website. the aim is to link up beekeepers looking for space, with landowners who have space, but need a beekeeper. With rooftop hives now becoming very popular, this is another option for anybody with a flat roof ... individuals, business owners or even churches.

The website link can be found on my profile page.

Thank you, I shall take a wee look.

Hi and welcome.
Have you looked on http://www.landshare.net/ at all? I think a lot of people who find a bit of land through them keep bees.
