Hi again,

Thank you for the encouraging words, I've just been in the garden watching some bees on the raspberry flowers and dreaming. Yeah, I too only want to keep bees as pets and for some home produced honey not to make a living from them. It's really exiting but I was concerned for the welfare of the bees if I couldn't perform routine care effectively. I feel it's probably time to make contact with the local beekeepers and go from there. I'm sure it will all make alot more sense then.

Oh by the way, sorry about the long name. I had trouble finding a name no-one else had but maybe I went a little over the top! Squashysu shortened it to Trebell but TGR will do!

Thanks again
