Norfolk Honey - Honey bees in a box
A new brood box with a nucleus of bees inside.
Getting started
A brood box with nuc of bees ready to travel
If you are keen to get started in bee keeping but don't have much
time then this is for you.
I'm offering brand new made up brood boxes on an open mesh floor with a complete
set of new frames and a laying queen inside on a four frame nuc brood secured
and ready to travel. You simply need to arrange with me a time
when you want to arrive and put the brood box in your car and take your bees
away (a couple of days notice is useful).
When you get home and have posititioned your
new hive (see instructions) pull out
the cloth that stuffs up the entrance block and your bees will fly. You will
need a roof (I can supply). You can leave the box for few days for the bees
to settle down before taking out the screws that
holds on the temporary crown board. You will, in the next few weeks after sighting
your new hive, want to put on a queen excluder and some supers for the bees
to store honey in (again I can supply these for you).
When you come to the
end of July you will want to extract your honey from the frames inside the
supers (that is made a lot easier for the beginner if they are already a
member of their local bee keepers association and
can borrow a honey extractor) or of course I can supply you with a honey extractor
too if you wish to own your own.
In fact you can arrive with nothing and leave with everything you require
to start bee keeping - including Paul Metcalf's
DVD.
