Good morning everyone, I'm considering building a bar top hive during the winter months to help the bees and get my flowers and vegetables fertilised/propagated. Will I have to go out and find a swarm (not looking forward to that) or will bees find their own way to it when the time comes?
(If you build it, they will come, where have I heard that before)?
Cheers, Tony. |

you could join your local beekeepers association and maybe get a swarm - and advice - from them. A swarm is unlikely to find your hive on it's own. You may even get a free queen from them if they have hives doing well. www.bbka.org.uk/find-beekeeping-near-you |

Many thanks Teasle, I never knew there was a bunch of beekeepers in this town.
Cheers, Tony.
