Dear bee-keepers of the vine,

My first 2 hives were delivered today along with a library of beautiful bee related books and enough equipment to start a business. I am so blessed but I feel as though I have a huge responsibility too, not only to my bees (yet to come) but also to the family of the man to whom it all belonged. I expect he will always be there in spirit, watching over my shoulder and no doubt shaking his head at times! I hope I can eventually make them proud.

I have joined the local bee-keepers group and I am hoping to make contact with a local mentor soon and follow them through next year, aquiring my own colony spring/summer 2010 at the latest. Soo exited and scared at the same time. However small they are, the burden of care remains the same.

Will bore for England about this I suspect!
