Title: Aussie (TAS) Beek apprenti
Post by: dunderi on November 12, 2015, 07:52:25 PM
Hi guys, 

New to actually having bees, been researching for ages. 

Have a 40 ac farm in North East Tasmania, which we acquired early this year. Am slowly putting in hedges of lavender and rosemary,  already have lots of fruit trees etc.

my mentor has lots of hives,  8 frame ideals mostly.  He's been a beek for a long time.  longer than I've been alive I think. 

I've been working for my first hive,  they're ten frame ideals (I'd eventually like eight frames also as they will all be interchangeable,  and lighter since I'm female is easier to lift a full box)

anyhow just wanted to say hi :) lots of good stuff here.

Thanks guys :)

sure is addictive.  even when I've just been renovating frames I seem to run out of hours way too fast,  and if we are actually working hives the time just flies by!
