Hi All,
Complete newbie here, so please bear with me. I’ve always been fascinated with bees and have always taken an interest. I’m based in North Yorkshire and make ice cream. I am looking to start out with honey bees in order to be able to use some of my own honey alongside my ice cream.
I also grow pumpkins, which I would like to site the hives next to, in order to help with the pollination of these if possible.
I guess what I’m asking is, what is the day to day keeping of them like. Is it very time keeping over summer or not too bad? Summer is when I am more hectic, so don’t want to take on something that I can’t do properly! Look forward to hearing and input back. Thanks
