Links to some Beekeeping Suppliers:
After you have completed your Beekeeping Course you may decide you want to keep bees, in which case you will need to buy bees and beekeeping kit.
For bees contact us and we will put you in touch with a reputable seller. Whatever happens please buy locally. Remember that bee diseases are rife and American Foul Brood (the Bee equivalent of Foot and Mouth disease) is dotted all over the country. To avoid buying diseased bees buy from a local and respected beekeeper.
